Being Light Skinned Is Really Hard.

[Asclepias]

I had a very interesting encounter today. I was sitting in the Malcolm X Lounge, a study room at the University of Texas that’s dedicated to African-American studies, but open to anyone. I was on a couch and had my feet up on a small table. When a girl came and sat down on the couch to my left, I jokingly made a big deal about moving my legs. She responded with, “Stop being so lazy, light-skin.”
I really wasn’t offended by the light-skin reference, but I was totally caught off guard by the way she used the term. See light-skinnededness (no that’s not a real word) has been the target of black humor for a while now, but usually people just say, “Stop being so light-skinned.”
A lot of y’all are probably wondering what that even means so I’ll break it down for you (sorry black people, bear with me here- I know ya’ll already know this stuff). It actually means somewhat different things if it’s being used to describe a guy or a girl, although there are some commonalities.
Guy acting light-skinned means:

1. Showing and expressing emotions too freely,
2. Being too “friendly”,
3. Doing anything that could be seen as gay or feminine,
4. Acting like Drake and/or listening to too much Drake,
5. And just generally being “soft”

Next time tell the bitch to shut her lip or you'll bitch-slap her ugly black ass into tomorrow. Throw in a couple of "niggah please!!!!"'s for good measure.

She might like that authentically African-American response.

Sorry to hear about the abuse you have suffered but your experiences have nothing to do with being authentically African American in any way.

There are only a handful of people who are truly African - American. Too bad you're not one of them.

Interesting. Sounds like something that you WISH that you could say to someone that you may know or know of.

I was being facetious of course.

Of course you were

Not my fault you can't recognize sarcasm when it is presented to you in such an obvious manner.

What I recognize is the difference between sarcasm and a thinly veiled comment, depending on who it comes from.....carry on.

Lighter is better, always has been. Shit, I don't even like white chicks with a deep tan!
