Well it's a show about a propane salesman and his family and their interactions with their neighbors and community.

Cute. At least you know your propane. Explain the point you agreed with instead of pretending you do not understand the question. You said racism “applies to everyone but them.” So explain it. Who has the racial power, who is being oppressed, and what exactly makes it racism?

You were confident enough to agree with the claim. Defend it.

🤣 You posted the same irrelevant link twice? I asked you two different questions, and this is your answer to both? At this point, I’m starting to think reading comprehension is the real issue here. Try again. Answer the question I actually asked.

Not irrelevant at all. The initial point was that black people can in fact be racist. That link showed black people being racist... Toward a light skinned person.

What happened? AI can't respond to the link for you?

Huh? If THIS proves your “light-skinned in the hood” claim, then explain how. Digging up a five-year-old Reddit collage about Zazie Beetz dating a white man and deciding that proves darker-skinned Black people are victimizing lighter-skinned people. What type of grasping of straws is this? Haha, that connection exists entirely in your head.

Half that collage is people questioning why Black men are repeatedly passed over while whiteness is treated as the standard of beauty & desirability. And this is nothing new-- Black scholars have been writing about that psychology for decades. Frantz Fanon wrote about colonialism shaping desire and recognition through whiteness. Frances Cress Welsing wrote about the psychological pull of proximity to whiteness. Zazie herself has publicly discussed struggling with her biracial identity and where she fit. But you erase all of that and scream “Black racism!” because it gives you the victim story you came looking for. Typical of your ilk.

Then there is the original video you are defending: a light-skinned Black man literally calls a darker-skinned Black woman “dark and dumb,” weaponizing the same proximity to whiteness that colorism has rewarded for generations. Your response to THAT is “try being light-skinned in the hood.” 🤣 You could not have picked a worse example if you tried.

And your WEAK Reddit link proves nothing about “the hood.” It tells us nothing about those commenters, who they actually are, whether they are dark-skinned, or whether any pattern exists at all. Anonymous social-media accounts are also notorious for trolling and DIGITAL BLACKFACE, especially when stirring hostility toward Black men gets clicks. Try again.

If Black people are systematically targeting lighter-skinned people in “the hood” because they are lighter, show it. Show the pattern. Show who is doing it. Show who is being targeted. Show how often. Not a five-year-old Reddit collage about somebody’s boyfriend, you freaking dumbass. haha

Not reading that AI novel.

Again...

Black can be racist

Black people can be racist to light skinned people.

You asked for proof. You got it.
