    And let’s not forget chrissie said those dark skin women in Bryson Tillers video were just white women dipped in chocolate. That proves they just don’t like pretty women it has nothing to do with colorism.

      Chrissie and most other BWE have an issue with Horner women (Ethiopian, Somali, Eritrean) in general. She wants representation of dark skin, until it comes in our form. Her audience's argues we are "arab mutts" and even gRAPE babies (which many other Africans will refer to us as despite out homogenous genetics) in one breath until they want to prove Black beauty and use women from our region or our ancient history. Xenophobia against Africans is rampant but I've noticed hating Horner is very normalized in Africa. We cant like how we look because thats antiblack, and we cant say we're black because we dont "look Black" but we cant claim any other heritage because thats antiblack, but also we'll never be like everyone else . (I mention all of this because the women Bryson Tiller features in his music videos are almost always exclusively Horners if not outright nonblack)

    Africa has an image problem and most people outside of Africa know South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia (maybe), Nigeria and that's about it. I've noticed women who look stereotypically West/Southern/Central African but are from Latin America , and the Middle East even East Africa don't deal with as many issues. As a Horner (Somali, Ethiopian and Eritrean hybrid) , I've never had issues dating African Americans. I would argue colorism is involved, as is featurism and texturism but you're right about xenophobia being involved as well and lots of it, often from both sides.

      If you have no issues dating African Americans or any other black group as a Horner, than you never were culturally rooted in any Horn African community because the two groups are two separate peoples with no genetic, historic, and cultural commonalities.

    You made such a good point. I never hear Black American men say they even want to date women who are from the continent. If they do date women from another country its usually a Jamaican or someone Caribbean who was either born here or moved here as a child. Nigerians in particular seem to rub a lot of people the wrong way. Black Americans are the only people who are somewhat nice to them and they still have negative things to say about us. Excellent video. I have to use this talking point if I ever debate an African again. LOL.

      Most people dislike Nigerians for their horrible overbearing attitudes. Remember most tribes there are decendants of slave traders so their superiority complexes are routed in that. Same with horners and North Africans, who may show distain for AA and other black peopl3 who look similar, but East and South africans dont really speak on BAs because they aren't related.

  • @LottiezLotts-k3i

    This was a very good and very insightful video.
    I agree that some women are using colorism to try and get pity privilege and as a way of gaining access to men outside their remittance.
    Many of the women online making money from American issues right now are mainly UABW Africans.
    I think so many layers exist to this conversation. I honestly feel like many of the women who have complained and kind of hid behind colorism didn’t want to acknowledge that they don’t meet the black American beauty standard.
    I think most of this is access based and people are competing for access.
    I saw the slim Kim controversy but wasn’t surprised to find out she’s Nigerian as imo she doesn’t fit what has been shown to me as the black American beauty standard.
    She can use thin privilege but that where it stops.
    Many black Americans have celebrated the Megan the stallion body type and she is more in line with what the world sees as black American.
    Slim Kim is more in line with Nigerian or even African European beauty standards.
    But I definitely think xenophobia has been conflated with color ism for a while now

    • @kokolee7262
      @kokolee7262 12 дней назад

      I'd say slim kim fits the eurooean standard of beauty. When white men marry afircan women that's the most type they go for the modek look. African beauty standard is slim thick/curvy with full breast. She isn't the preferred standard.

    I'm Nigerian and I agree with this video. I've lived in Nigeria my whole life and the attitude you see amongst Nigerian immigrants is from our culture. In our culture being loud and obnoxious and dominant is praised. Also, our poor education system keeps most of us ignorant, contributing to the culture of arrogance.
    Also, colorism is huge in our country, so I think that's why darker skinned Nigerians tend to hyperfocus on it.

I myself am born in the UK. I watch a lot of videos about this topic and I have not seen a Caribbean born person make videos bashing Americans. Caribbean people are not African and have a very different culture, which we carved out through blood sweat and tears. A large percentage of Caribbean people also have a mix background, myself included, which is, black, Jewish, Portuguese, Scottish and Cuban is my mix.

      I find that there is African fusion within our cultures as West Indians and Latinos. Depending on the country you see it in the traditional garb and for most we can hear and feel it in the music. But there are so many cultures that came together and that makes us unique and give us a completely different culture. Yes let us respect every culture within the melting pot but it’s not exactly the same by any stretch of the imagination.

    Good point! I have always wondered why black youtubers whose origin is directly from outside the usa are the face of colorism talking points. They know that cant relate through culture about certain things so they know that certain AAs have dark skin or the same features and have experienced colorism. They see that trend and capitalize clout and $$off of that instead of fully explaining nuances of certain personal experience. However, beyond those talking points, that is where majority of Interest diverge. Now what has became mainstream is that go to colorism talking point instead of critiquing themselves and thinking how other nuances can affect outcomes. Also for Pan-Africanism, I noticed it is always non usa black people using talking points
