Initially, being a medium toned man, I didn’t believe there was such a thing and light and dark discrimination in the black community but there is. It appears many black men are fascinated by the white conception of beauty long hair, fair skin etc but I have always thought dark skinned women are the most attractive in the black community. The ones that I have known growing up have been strong and they have often carried the weight of the entire black community. They never played the damsel in distress because whenever they were in distress they would pull themselves out of it.
