let's stop acting all ignorant and primitive plz.

doesnt speak well of you.

if you can access a computer, then one would assume you were exposed to some element of civilization.

SEFAGO:

Also makes sense why Tpia is always on any thread about race and skin color.

yes, that explains tpia's obsession with skin colour threads.

now, what explains your own constant calling of tpia every chance you get?

How rare is it to NOT find senseless threads on NL nowadays

I hate it when Africans place priority on skin color. Lack of melanin is rather a disadvantage.

i think most people are confusing the thread with the numerous light skin vs dark skin ones.

that's erroneous.

the poster simply asked a question about something she was curious about (and maybe was bothering her).

numerous people gave her answers, and the story ended there.

anyone looking for merry go round threads involving light vs dark skin, should go to tribalism section where we have are light skin girls better than dark skin girls, do men prefer light skin girls over dark skin girls, are light skin men more virile thsn dark skin men, do dark skin men have more girlfriends than light skin men, are white women better than black women, do black men prefer non-black women, do nigerian men hate nigerian women, do yoruba men prefer non-yoruba women, do yoruba men badmouth yoruba women, etc etc.

Light skin is lack of vitamin. The dark skin is more healthy than light skin

Lack of vitamin d

Did you not notice the person that started this thread was Yoruba or that predominately of the repliees are Yoruba? Most Igbo did not reply and many aren't interested. Deal with your problem and stop mentioning Igbo everywhere.

LOOL how do u think the ghanians feel?

naijarican: I'm a lightskinned american girl, and my boyfriend is an igbo. He hates when I go in the sun to become darker. I always wondered why he would get so upset. Seems like colourism is rampant throughout the African Diaspora... Such a shame because to me, no matter what shade we are, we are some of the most beautiful people our Father God placed on this earth. We need to appreciate our unique beauty and embrace it instead of embracing that which is eurocentric. I LOVE my black people! No matter what shade.

I'm glad you embrace your color and race ,you're truly daughter of the sun. Don;t blame your boyfriend, he has been raised up to detest his own skin,to him being black is ugly.

It's something I will never understand. We have allowed ourselves to be conditioned into believing that Eurocentric beauty is the best, so we do any and everything to emulate that. Skin bleach, straight hair weaves... It's a travesty. Trust and believe that alot of Europeans wish they had skin like ours. When I'm 50 years old, I will look as if I'm only 30 on the other hand, when they are 50 years old, they will like every bit of 60+. I thank God for our beautiful skin. [b][quote author=Obalufon]
