My thing is, even the insults used to offend light skin women are rooted in privilege. Getting called house slave, high yellow, saying ur not black enough...all of those things are marked by ones proximity to whiteness, which is advantageous in society

Those insults cannot be compared to being called roach or gorilla. I cannot imagine the pain of being made to feel undesirable on a daily basis or to see damn near everyone had a “phase” where they tore down dark skin women. & then to have that pain invalidated constantly...

And having men of all colors and races constantly state and prove they only date light skin black girls

So true.
