Here we go again, another black man caught up in a light skinned vs dark skinned scenario.

According to MediaTakeOut.com one of their readers came across this twitter on R&B singer Omarion’s page.

Here’s what she said:

I’m so upset with this loop alien head lame a*s Omarion on his twitter a fan asked why he only spoke to models and light skin women and he says “oh because my mom is light skin.” Are you f*cking kiddin me.

So I have to bleach my skin for you to notice me on twitter but I bet you notice me when I buy your damn next album which is a negative.

I loved omarion sinse 2001, I was behind every step of the way of his solo career and now he’s picking favorite fans cause they’re light skin.

When will these damn n*ggas see more then skin f*cking deep. Nigg*s get money and forget about the beautiful chocolate smooth skin mamas.

Omarion MYSTERIOUSLY deleted his Twitter account yesterday. Hmmmmm!!!!! SMH!!

Check out some of the girls Omarion supposedly dated and the girl he married:

Diddy: Dark skinned girls need not apply

    Someday he will find his soul mate. Prayerfully he will hold on to God’s unchanging hand and choose the one created for him. Race and shade won’t have a thing to do with it. I pray he is happy. I love that young man. Beautiful smile…love him. Cheers to tomorrows and your happily ever after OMARION, I love you boy….

    I am soooooo sicked and tired of these BROWN SKIN/DARK SKIN celebrities not acknowledging how beautiful brown skin and dark skin women are and this goes out to the light skin brothers too. They fail to realize that before the beginning of time. Everyone was dark or brown skin to begin with and when the Europeans decided to mix the slaves and the masters that they began to get different shades of brown. I am dark skin and beautiful and really if you don’t like it oh well but im not gonna stand by let ppl try and put statements our there when we’re the same ppl that they ask to support them. BLACK PPL NEED TO WAKE UP…THERE ARE WHITE PPL AND OTHER RACES THAT ARE LAUGHIN AT US..CUZ WE DON’T STICK TOGETHER…U DON’T SEE ASIANS GOIN ON EACH OTHER..OR NATIVE AMERICANS. THEY HOLD EACH OTHER DOWN AND EMBRACE EACH OTHER…WHEN WILL WE WAKE UP AND DO THE SAME.

    lol this is the i say the half breed problem should have been checked and will be checked in every afrakan-amerikan house hold all they do is cause trouble and in fact there near pale skin is disgusting and not attractive what so ever it is a sign of being a muation which skin burns up in the sun

    who cares omarian is a homosexual so any afrakan woman worried about what a homosexual in bow p.diddy will smith(another half breed0or any of the rest sadly has low self of steem when we come together people like him will onyl have sells from other races we will completly boycott brothers like this and shun all of there musik and only support our own

    intill then n****rs such as this will remain in a state of galore while u are being stupid still bumping his musik

    sellouts are only as strong as the non sellouts allow them to be and in a perfect society omarion would of been shot for this stament and also what ever ur mom is of course u will ride for her and her kind

    my mom is dark brown and my daddy dark black so i am against half breeds

    dark skin mates with dark skin

    dark skin mates with dark brown skin

    dark skin mates with brown skin

    teach this to ur kids and teach them only this and i assure u we afrakans will not be blaming or worried what any sellout dick sucking f****t sorry homosexual muscian says about the one and first trrue woman.

    personally if i ever see him i will spit in his face for my afrakan queens and dare him to say something about it dont worry my bodygaurds will be there as well as his so if he want it he will get it

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/mook345/ mook345

    Its his choice he does have explain it to anyone. Black women say they dont want fat dark skin short or what ever and its cool. But a Black man has to like ugly women. or are judged for their preference.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/I_Stay_True_2Me/ I_Stay_True_2Me

    If he did say “It’s because his moms light skin”, (which she isnt) then yeah that was silly reply.

    But this kind of issue (LIGHT VS DARK) thing is getting old it shouldnt even be an issue because we’re all BLACK people. Damn if we not killing one another we hatin on each other other the littest things!

    As long as dude isnt doing a “Yung Berg” then whateva do you people are going to have their own preference and be attractive to who they prefer is right for them so whateva!!!

    Mt daddy is brown and my mommy lute skinned and I notice carmel and lite girls before i notice the really dark but men like what is close 2 they mommy at the end. Although last year i dated this 1 sista who was black and indian but she was dark dark and she was sexy as hell

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/1CARLITO/ 1CARLITO

    Sexy is sexy color doesn’t matter. I notice all these rappers videos have lite skinned mixed or latina women in them. Id be insulted if i was a dark skinned sista especially the last time i saw a dark skinned women in a video they didnt even show her face they just showed her ass and her don’t something i cant say on here. Shame on these brothas

    FIRST YOU ALL ARE DUMB AS F**K for believing mediatakeout!

    if he DID say it, then BLACK FEMALES SHOULD NOT comment because the MAJORITY of BLACK FEMALES make statement like these ALL THE TIME. i don’t know how many time i’ve heard BLACK FEMALES say that they ONLY date dark men or that they ONLY date lightskin men,or they ONLY date a brotha who is clean cut. these days i hear a LOT of BLACK FEMALES say that they ONLY date WHITE MEN.

    only BIG artist(jay-z,Kanye) have a say-so on how their videos are put together. that is the CASTING DIRECTOR or THE DIRECTOR you are talking about. they ONLY cast latinas or light skin women because that is AMERICA’s /EUROPE’s standard of beauty. a lot of black people,MALE AND FEMALE, has been ‘brainwashed’ into accepting this. not only do they accept it, they think it it “right”

    WOW! Excuse me for being dark skin. It doesn’t matter rather someone is orange or bright pink, love is love and it shouldnt be based on rather someone is a certain complextion. Some people with that complex should just go and jump out of a window.

    It always baffles me when artists make these statements whether it’s Wesley Snipes or Omarion. Not only does it smack of ignorance but they’re alienating a whole fan base.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Kountry_Mayne/ Kountry_Mayne

    Thats why its called personal preference. Same reason why most of the females only date thugs or guys with money or braids in their head or choose to mess up their life ( personal preference ). And why should what he likes bother any one on here any ways… its not like your going to date him. Thats whats wrong with people in the general public they let people with money brainwash them and will instantly drop pants and suck dick just because theres a big dollar sign in front of a black man cause i can promise you that there are rougly 8,000 people just on this website alone that will lay up with this guy or any man with money just because their rich and on tv without knowing any thing about who they really are in reality. Some of yall need to quit cryin and find you a good black man who appreciates a dark skinned woman… but what would half of yall do with a good black man any ways.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/it_iz_what_it_is/ it_iz_what_it_is

    This article is ignorant and is basically a rant probably from some fat black ass chic who is unattractive and feels the need to crack on ol boy Omarian because she ain’t his “type”. When some women say they prefer dark brothas I could care less because just like them I have my preferences too and they may not suit mine either. Preference is preference, not politics. A black man doesn’t arbitrarily have to prefer both light skin or dark skin. Nature doesn’t work that way! Our “preference” is what we are individually physically drawn to and arouses us. Lionesess are more drawn to dark maned lions opposed to gold mane lions, are they hating on the gold mane lions? Of course not. People look for excuses for some brothas prefering light skin women but it’s no deeper or no less politically correct than some brothas prefering dark skin sistas.

    Come on, are you all really surprised? It is what it is.

    If you are dark skinned or light skinned, just know you are fearfully and wonderfully made. Lighter skin is not better than darker skin. Be proud of who YOU are and walk in it.

    I mean u really can’t blame him for choosing to date “light-skinned” woman cuz if u look at his family in general, majority of the women are indeed light-skinned so u can’t really judge him for that.

    Not only did I not know that he was married, I almost thought that him and Bow Wow were together. lol. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it is more than skin deep. Obviously since he was raised with mostly light skinned people that’s what he is accustom to. Hopefully he’ll grow out of that.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/phdguy09/ phdguy09

    thats a poor excuse of why he prefers light skin women. i wish he would be honest and say what history and society has taught us: lighter is better!

    i am darker skin as well as my family, however, I had the opportunity in my 28 years on this earth to date and appreciate all women irrespective of their skin complexion.

    i think we as Black people need to love ourselves, appreciate our Blackness (all shades), but at the same time be open to potential significant others who do not look like us.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Divas_Inc_Management/ Divas_Inc_Management

    Get a life, this is just the man’s perference! He is not downing darker skinned women, he just perfers lighter women. And most men do want women who look or act like their mothers. What is the problem? It’s things like this that keep the dark vs. light conflict going. Stop the insanity, we are all beautiful.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/bgreen2/ bgreen2

    Who cares which type of women he likes? Since when can’t a man or woman have preferences? In all races and gender, people have preferences whether it’s height, hair, eyes, or physique. It’s probably no different than half of us on this site. We get notes and im’s and we selectively CHOOSE who to respond to. Folks get too sensitive for me…

    more brown and dark skinned women for me! Why is the author of this article even wasting her time hating on him. She went so far as to say that she would have to bleach her skin just to get noticed by him.. Who gives a damn if he isn’t trying to look in your direction. Is your self esteem that low that you are willing to change yourself to be noticed by a guy that doesn’t want to be with you anyway? I’m short but i don’t give a damn about the women out there that won’t date me because i’m not tall enough for them. There are plenty that will. Get over yourself and move on.

    of course it’s some dark skin woman mad about nothing ppl like her is the that keeps the bull crap going..so what he has a preference of what he chooses to date i am sure u have one too.another obsessed fan..key word fan..he is dark so huh dumb dumb i doubt he has a color issue he just likes what he likes what next..oh yeah i know someone else is going to find another artist.actress that dates out of there race and cry about that too..

    I believe this article is pointless. Omarion is entitled to like whomeva he chooses. I dont think he eva said he hated dark skinned girls, he jus perfers light skinned girls. Whoeva wrote this either doesnt have anything better to do or they r jus jealous. I usualli dont comment on these things but i thought the idea of even puttin out this article was completely pointless.

    For me its not what he said its how he said it. I’m all for having ur preference, shucks I have my own. I prefer dark skinned men but I would never put down my light skinned brothers cuz they are fine too. Look at the way O addressed a dark sista as opposed to a light one. Sometimes its not what u sy but how you say it that makes a heck of a difference. Ur words reflect what u think and how u think. Please remember that.

    OMG PEOPLE, he made an honest statement, his mom is of fairer complexion therefore thats what he’s naturally attracted to, which is true, any man that has a close relationship with his mother is naturally attracted to women with traits that favor her, look it up, it’s been studied. I am a ‘darker’ sister and i dont care, when i saw the title i came just to see what was said, there is nothing wrong with it, get over it, the complex lies within yourself. if you have a problem with it and feeled attack thats a personal issue you need to deal with, don’t try to make him resposible for your insecurities. SMDH.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/sexymissmaria/ sexymissmaria

    Though I’m tired of European standards of beauty being held up across the board I’m old enough to know that you end up liking what you like for whatever reason and people do look at what their parents are as the standard quite often. Instead of being a put-down to us darker women I think his statement is his honest compliment his mother. I am into men who can fix cars and figure out what’s wrong with the DVD player and all that which is the type of guy my father is. I’m not into pretty boys at all because what “manhood” meant to me was based upon the behaviors my father exhibited. I don’t attract pretty boys either, which works out well for me and it tends to work out that way; Omarion’s type is probably attracted to him and people like me who think he’s a joke he probably isn’t attracted to anyway, lol.

    Ps. I didn’t know there was a light skinned vs. dark skinned scenario, if you’re black, you’re black. damn.
    This is why our race hasn’t progressed. You don’t see articles saying, “Brad Pitt only dates tanned women.” Come on Guys.

The day this country and the people who live in it can stop being (A) Judgemental of others and (B) hung up on the color of people’s skin, the better off WE’d all be. Grow the Hell up already!!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/JaxSunShine9/ JaxSunShine9

    To the lady who wrote this article, my sistah, you are dealing with a serious self-esteem issue.

    Who Omarion or any other man chooses to date, should not make you that upset. That’s too much energy to waste on something you can’t change anyway.

    Because you don’t fit Omarion’s preference you feel REJECTED and ANGRY. I recognize it because I have been right there too. Take time and work on yourself. Not for a man but for YOU. If more people would do that, there would be much less hatred, anger, rage, murder, etc… in this world.

    You can only change YOU and God can only change a person’s heart. You can’t change how people feel about Omarion or any other man who chooses to date light skinned, white, dark, Asian women, or whomever by writing this kind of article. It only makes you look bad.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/one-light79/ one-light79

    I can see why some of the comments made have been posted. One thing that has to be realized, is that the whole “light vs. dark” thing is deeply rooted in our sometimes painful history. This struggle goes way beyond the many beautiful shades of color that African-Americans’ possess, to the system that was designed to “Divide & Conquer”… You don’t believe me, then check out a copy of “The Willie Lynch Letter”. Although this is not where these theories derived from, this is where you can read for yourself just what exactly the purpose for the whole systematic division of our people originated from. After our people were forced to the states, there was no way of knowing who came fromn what tribe. There was no way of knowing what occupations they possessed, while still in Africa. If they (the slave masters) had, then the whole D & C theory would be based on bloodlines, skills, education, etc. (Just a note: we’ve managed to do that on our own, since we have been on auto-piolot for some time now).
    Point is, the slave masters knew nothing about us, so they caused bitterness between us based off of the only thing they could: which is what they saw, hence the ‘color’ division began.
    Keep in mind, ‘color’ was not the only issue used for division, but, in being shallow, some people still use that, because they are superficial.
    Most people these days are still niave. If it didn’t happen the prior day, then they forget about it. (These are the same people that feel that racism is a thing of the past.)
    When I was H.S., I remember that they wanted me to be on the Dance Squad. After I realized that the only reason why I had been recruited was because of the shade of my skin, I didn’t try. There were plenty of darker skinned females there that could dance rings around me, but they were cut EARLY on. I barely even moved, but I was given chance after chance after chance. I d*mn near had to walk off, before I was cut. (Needless to say, none of the squad choosen could fail the ‘paper bag’ test).
    I could go on with examples, but I won’t.
    Point is: the only reason why Omarion’s choice is so-called “news worthy”, is the simple fact that it rehashes old, deep wounds.
    Times have changed… Unfortunately, people move at a slower pace.
    Before you comment, atleast know what the fight is about. It’s more than just preferance… it’s about something that we have been dealing with for hundreds of years, even before slavery.
    If the W.L. Letter is too much for you, then check out a copy of Spike Lee’s “Skool Daze”. That movie was filled with the different views of this arguement.
    Hopefully, by the time you are done with it, you will really overstand Dap’s reason for screaming, “WAKE UP”, at the end.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ankh9ether/ ankh9ether

    Chocolate_fantasy08…I love your comment. I’m a light-skinned brother who loves darker women but chocolate women never liked me so I’ve had to adapt to liking light-skinned women. To each is own and I understand that you like who you like but to slam a man for his preferences is childish, especially when you do the same thing. It’s easier for you because it’s unseen but for him he’s in the lime-light so I guess that makes him a bad person!!! You girls are wrong for that and with that type of attitude, no wonder our future looks the way it does. If he was a regular joe like me, ya’ll wouldn’t give 2 sh*ts.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/So_Thick_So_Sweet/ So_Thick_So_Sweet

    We can sit and bash tha young brotha till we are blue in the face… But at the end of the day he is a product of his environment…

    Hollywood and their high society ways have been brainwashing the masses for decades… and while he has learned to pass up the darker sista for her much lighter counterpart, it happens everyday, in our faces with other issues… Even now with the average woman being a size 14, men are still choosing women on the smaller side of “Thick”. In other cases, more often women choose the man with the car, opposed to the man waiting for the bus. So in the end it’s all about preference and we cant knock a person for what they like, just because we may not fit the mold.

    It makes very good sense that he would be attracted to women that remind him of his mom. Men tend to gravitate toward women that are similar to their moms as women seek fatherly-like qualities in their men.

    So lets not all get besides ourselves because he prefers light-skinned women, I know I won’t. For example, personally I’m attracted to the physique of a football player, and I don’t think he’ll lose any sleep over that, so why should we.

    Live and let live, or at least fake it till u make it!

    Smh. I kinda figured he had that mentality after listening to a few of his tracks on his album. If that’s what he wants, then let him have it. Seriously, there are a lot more men out there who are attracted to all kinds of colors, so I’m not even sweating it; no woman should. Is he even a real catch anyway?? I judge men by whether or not they are good men, not necessarily by the color of their skin. But hey, to each his own.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Hitwoman/ Hitwoman

    I so agree with JaxSunshine right now. It’s all about confidence. I’m a chocolate sista and brothas luv me…all different flavors; so your self-esteem has alot to do with it. Growing up, I was told I was ugly b/c I was dark skinned, but true beauty comes from within and once u feel beautiful inside, it’ll show on the outside…and that’s what happened 2 me…I used to have a particular preference too. I only dated dark skinned men, but once I learned how to FULLY LOVE MYSELF, then I was able to look past other skin tones and love them too. I had to open my mind and my heart and now I must say I found “TRUE LOVE” and MYSTERIOUSLY ENOUGH, the MY KING is not what I always dreamed him to be : TALL, DARK, HANDSOME, BALD….HE’S MEDIUM HEIGHT, FAIR SKINNED, COUNTRY BOY…LOL…I HOPE HE NEVER READS THIS..BUT “TRUE BEAUTY” comes from within and although ppl have preferences, DON’T TAKE IT PERSONAL OR ALLOW IT TO RUIN YOUR ESTEEM. AND FOR THOSE SISTAS HATING ON ONE ANOTHER B/C THEIR SKIN IS DARKER, LIGHTER, WHATEVER….IT’S 2009…WE HAVE A BLACK PRESIDENT…LET’S GET TOGETHER AND SUPPORT & BE HAPPY 4 ONE ANOTHER….IF U CAN’T GROW IT, BUY IT; U WANT IT DARKER, TAN IT; U WANT THE BODY, LOSE THE WEIGHT…IT’S TIME FOR ALL WOMEN TO COME 2GETHER AND JUST BE HAPPY…FROM SISTA 2 SISTA…STAY UP LADIES!!!! ONE LUV!!! GOD BLESS!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MisterNAS/ MisterNAS

    okay first of all read the damn chat. He said “date err1 (translated everyone) but my moms is light skinned and so I am naturally attracted to women that look that way.” This is a backwards compliment to his mother and ya’ll gotta respect that damn. The man also went on to say in the same chat ” but I have dated blackGF” or I have had a black or dark skinned girlfriend. I mean first of all who cares. Secondly, if that’s his preference that is his preference. Some people prefer Nike over Reebok and nobody cares and nobody is trying to over-analyze that!

    It is a matter of preference and he is entitled to it but to say that he prefers light skin bcuz of his mother is just retarded.

    LIKE SEXEEBLK SAID SHE FOUND TRUE LOVE IN SOMEONE SHE DIDNT IMAGINE AS HER PERFECT MAN GROWING UP. TRUE LOVE LIKE THAT IS WHATS UP AND I HOPE THEY ARE BOTH HAPPY. BECAUSE A WOMAN LIKE THAT WILL BE HAPPILY MARRIED HER WHOLE LIFE WHILE WOMEN AND DUDES WITH THE SAME MENTALITY AS THE TWITTER BLOGGER WILL PROBABLY BE JUMPIN FROM FAILED RELATIONSHIP TO RELATIONSHIP THEIR WHOLE LIVES.

    Everyone has their standard and preferences. He is a well know person so obviously by him coming out saying something that may be misperceived it will have negative feed back but you cant knock his standards and have your own and not be a hypocrite. Everyone at one point and time liked a certain complexion or look over the other. We all have favorites. If he is favorite doesnt include you dont take it personal. I will say this in this world there is someone that likes you for you but first of all you have love yourself and that does not mean being selfish but knowing that you are a child of God no matter what you look like.

    now i won’t go as far to say that light skin to white is a universal standard, I personally believe that all women is beautiful no matter what their skin tone, i will say that it is his personal preference and no one can get mad at him for that. Everyone in this world has a preference when dating, rather you may like build or fat, dark over light, or long hair to short. Everyone has a preference and they expect someone of his celebrity to be different which is not right.

    This so crazy you know back in day I would listen to young girls talk about this and wonder , why do they favor the light girls but growing up i see that everyone is dif, and just because one person likes a peticular kind doesnt mean a thing. I have dated both light and brown skin men. I really have to say i do like light skin men. But I luv all men in general. I guess seeing this doesnt bother me cause , truthfully no matter how u look at it he is dating a african american still. Now if his wife or girl is white maybe I would look otherwise.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_bookoo_tweaks_/ _bookoo_tweaks_

    He’s married now, so it shouldn’t matter who he prefers to date since he should be done with dating. (If he bases his preferences off his mama, I guess she musta been a stripper too? Not that there’s anything wrong w/that… LOL)

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/IBKimberly1/ IBKimberly1

    It is what it is. I’m a dark-skinned sistah and if a the only reason a man can give for not finding me attractive or being interested is the depth of my skin tone screw him. I mean, i’m not gonna even be mad at him… that’s his preference but he obviously is not the type of man I would need to be interested in anyway. This kind of thinking doesn’t only come from men, come on now ladies, we all have at least ONE friend that doesn’t like dark-skinned or even light-skinned brothas. One a side note, my personal experience is that light-skinned men tend to gravitate to dark-skinned women and it’s the DARK brothas who are most heard saying that the prefer our ‘nilla waffer colored sistahs. Bottom line, ugly comes in all shades and fineness does too.

    I never cared much for this c**ka roach anyway. Lil pop lockin’ cornball. My moms is light skinned and my pops is blurple. I’ve been around the world and have dated dark, light, and different races. I have no problem with a person who says they date no matter the color but when you as a Black person say “I don’t date black or dark” I feel YOU have a problem with YOURSELF! People that say this or have this type of thinking have a problem with their own skin. They’re not comfy being in it. As you can see, I’m not light at all. Being dark is a gift. Not a curse. Why do you think you have all these white women on here looking for dark men. They know where the true beauty is. Black men, don’t discredit or overlook our Black (dark or light) Queens. Stop teaching self hate through your actions. That old “IS WE SICK BOSS” negro mentality is so played and we need to do better. Stop giving in to that old light is better dark is weak way of thinking. It’s just ruining our kids way of looking at themselves. That’s all I’ll say for now.

    Just about every person out there has a preference when it comes to dating. He’s human just like the rest of us, so it shouldn’t matter if he has a type. Each and every single one of you know what attracts you to another person, and I bet each of you have different answers. So why should it matter?

    Damn near for every person that says they have a light skinned preference there is someone who says they have a dark skinned preference. I’m light skinned and I have came across plenty of women that said they normally wouldn’t date light skinned men and I would say “cool”. Because I don’t give a sh*t. There a LOT of black women and men who say they are not attracted to white people. Should we put all of their picures up and write an article on them about being racist? NO…

    Because people can be as picky as they wanna be when it comes to choosing who they wanna be with….

    btw… I like all races, ethnicities, colors and shades. I have no preferences in that area. but i do have preferences in other areas that I hope i wouldn’t have to defend one day because of a limited world view of a couple of dumba**es.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_Layah_/ _Layah_

    I just think it grew out of a slavery mentality where the lighter you were the more “desirable” or “non-threatening” you were to whites. It happens in most colonized areas where whites created a sense of inferiority. I think thats the only reason it bothers me when people don’t understand that the legacy of “light skin isn’t just a “preference” its a history. Most people are completely ignorant of that when they make comments for either side which is apparent.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ahmad_moore/ ahmad_moore

    To be honest with it, its his preference who he wants to date. Just shows how shallow he is IF, and I do mean if, he demises darker skinned women. I think its one of those comments he wish he could have back. Would it be a lot of backlash if he said he only dates black women? Ive only dated sisters but I don’t hate or discriminate on another. To each its own, thats how I look at it.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/tone0469/ tone0469

    This is so funny to me…Black women, be it dark or light have told my light ass they only like dark men. Now, I don’t see this dayum reporter writing anything about that. But then again, when it comes to a her choice it doesn’t matter. Let a black man make a choice and now he is a Nigga. Does that make any sense? Once again, a black man choice of a woman is not good enough for a black woman. If he dates a white woman, he is a sell out. If he dates a light skinned woman, she is no good. If he date a dark skinned woman, he is still no good. All of this goes to show that it doesn’t matter who we brothers date, most black women will not be happy. What a dayum joke!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Hitwoman/ Hitwoman

    A lot of people on here are super angry. Shangho, for instance, is really militant and hostile. Quote, “lol this is the i say the half breed problem should have been checked and will be checked in every afrakan-amerikan house hold all they do is cause trouble and in fact there near pale skin is disgusting and not attractive what so ever it is a sign of being a muation which skin burns up in the sun

    who cares omarian is a homosexual so any afrakan woman worried about what a homosexual in bow p.diddy will smith(another half breed0or any of the rest sadly has low self of steem when we come together people like him will onyl have sells from other races we will completly boycott brothers like this and shun all of there musik and only support our own

    intill then n****rs such as this will remain in a state of galore while u are being stupid still bumping his musik

    sellouts are only as strong as the non sellouts allow them to be and in a perfect society omarion would of been shot for this stament…”

    Do you need a hug?? I understand that eurocentrism has caused many races–not just the black race–to self loath. However, your attitude doesn’t make things any better. It is divisive and fosters hate. You shouldn’t have to put anyone down to bring yourself up.

    Layah_

    you like many others r incorecct

    half breeds usto enslave murder rape and kill us afrakans even during the days before the bible and quran they have always hated us

    afro-arabs usto enslave our people jus tlike they still do in sudan of course there fathers r arab and there mothers are usually slave cocubines held against there will

    afro-europeans

    afro -asians like tiger woods and cleopatra and we all know cleopatra loved her some european in julis ceasar lol

    so my advice is stop being so ignorant and thinking everything started from slavery which was only 500 years

    not a long time to f**k up a whole race

    the destruction of our race and our self esteem started way before slavery

    many many times we slaughterd whole areas of mixed people because of revenge for what they did to our people which was if u all know

    example

    muhammad ali was a afro-arab and he was reported to be thee most savege brute in killing and raping and setting on fire while alive,afrakan women men children and even babys and fetusus ,look him up he fought for the ottoman empire.

    so stop thinking slavery as if it is thee single most horrific event the afrakans race has ever faced

    we should of wiped out every sellout and half breed back then and i knwo for a fact we would of not be sold off nor would afraka be in such a filthy state it is now as well as afrakans as a whole.

    this choosing light skin over the greatest dark skin

    happens in jacma the islands parts of europe its everywhere where afrakans who have low self esteem are.

    i would never turn my back on the knowledge i found studying why is the afrakan race so f**ked up

    you are another half breed who is suffering from tragik mulatto syndrome

    one of the symptons u are showing is

    selfisheness

    many half breeds always try and make dark skin and dark brown skin and brown skin afrauakans feel upset and sad about half breeds having an insecurity problem about themselfs whe around thee original human beings

    they say things like

    you dont know what it feels like to be a mixed

    or mixed people we are always not wanted(ye think)

    or my favorite

    i wish i was dark skin

    all of these are very selfish ways of expressings ones own insecurity.

    to the man im speaking to

    you said dark skin women have told u they only want dark skin men

    well

    that is nay-cha speaking and self love and logik but you want us to feel for ur half breed little selfish self and take away the spot light from the queens who rejected you because they know better then to let any p***s in there v****a that is not a nubian p***s.

    they want pretty dark and dark brown children

    all the women who are dark skin and dark brown skin and brown skin who only want to date brothers of equal or darker hue

    i got good news for you

    you r doing the right thang

    how else is it afrakan amerikans we dont look like brazil???

    because many dark familys chose to stay dark because even tho they could no longer speak an afrakan language or prasie an afrakan deity they always wanted to remain how they were when they first came

And omarion is not wrong for saying that its because his mama is light skinned. Surre, he could have put it in a different way but ALL men naturally lean towards women who remind them of mommy dearest. Once again, It’s human instinct…And obviously the writer of this article is just looking for someone to pick on because she copied a picture tweet and after he says his moms is liteskinned, he then said that he has dated dark girls. this whole light skinned crusade is stupid….ppl like dark skinned and just as many ppl like light skinned..just because you havent found someone who like you..dont mean that light skinned people are the ugly stepchild..

I’m not a hater and everyone is entitled to their preferences, black people are so critical of each and so stuck on the “light skin, dark skin” thing and I just feel that after all our people have been through it shouldn’t be that way. And I just feel like when famous black artists put that out there like that, what is it telling our younger people? Their not good enough because their dark? Or their superior because their light? I just feel like since these artists have so much impact on our younger people and their way of thinking that they should use that and big up all our people and respect all of our beautiful, black queens.

    Color is beautiful. The world is not black and white. There are beautiful people with all different shades of skin. If it’s the right person, I honestly think Omarion would make an exception. There’s always someone out there who can shatter your “type”. I also think what Shango24 said was really hateful and racist. People can’t help being born the way that they are and there’s nothing wrong with Africans/African-Americans loving and having beautiful children with someone who is not of African descent. Being whatever color you are doesn’t make you more or less of a person than anyone else. We’re all part of one race, the human race, period.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/april109/ april109

    People who put down mixed people, are just jealous. Not every person that is light skinned is mixed. Everyone has a certain preference, so get over it. Obviously some people have nothing better to do but to blame others for their insecurities. Who really cares if Omarion prefers lighter women. He’s not the only black man alive. Other people prefer white women, or asians, or darker black women is there a big controversy over that?????

    baby what ever ur name is

    i feel ur pine saw smelling chemichals are seeping into ur brain creating a very further dangerous atmosphere for young nubian children to be around you.

    afrakans like u are very weak and pathetic and off no solutions which will help our people suffering world wide period.

    here is my solutuioon once mroe

    dark skin with dark skin

    dark skin with dark brown skn

    dark skin wit brown skin and make sure the have the crown of nappiness.

    there are only two things which create unity and disunity amongst humans

    1.the first being race

    everyone when it all comes down to it wants to be around people who look like them and share there same phenotypes

    despite the self hating n****rs who love women who look nothing like there mother

    2.is ideals,what do u subcribe to in beelife and morals

    these two things will always be the determining factor of human relations before and after the recession.

    please baby and other sub-humans stop attacking afrakan sanit ybecause u hate ur selves

    man yof us true afrakans love oursevles and only want to be happy and left alone in peace.

    Blacks have been programmed to hate eachother so badly, blacks dont even have to have a reason.

    Example. Blacks saying Omarion “only” dates light-skinned women. Thats NOT what he said. He said he dates EVERYONE! but, his mother is lightskinned, so naturally he’s attracted to someone who favors his mother.

    Blacks need to turn off the rap videos, pick up a book, learn to read better, and stop looking for superficial reasons to hate eachother.

    you are yet another very insecure hurting inside half breed who for ur whole entire life has never felt accppted by the people i call afrakans thee only true afrakan amerikans and u also have never felt black enough.

    you and others like you need to go to

    http://www.mulatto.org

    where other mixed people are and leave my people alone.

    we did not want u back when the european american forced us to acceppt u and even then we did not do this fully.

    you r just showing the signs of a sickness called

    tragik mulatto syndrome

    some of the symptons are

    all eyes on me because i am mixed which=selfishness

    you cannot not stand when dark skin and dark brown skin and brown skin people dont want to include u as if u r our people or something lol where did u get that idea oh i know

    from sellout afrakan men who want to protect there little trophy mixed female from allof us who scream she aint black!!!!!!!!!!!

    she aint an afrakan!!!!!!!!!!!!

    get u a real black woman they screammmmmmmmmm

    also the media who is created by the same people who established thee most horrific law stll in exsitence her ein amerikkkka

    the one drop rule

    but our strong afrakan anscertal spirits for this long cannot be destroyed we r here and coming back for revenge,the spirits are very angry and upset that many sellouts have disgraced there own great kulture and great afrakan mothers

    for some abomanation half breed(me shaking my head)

    april in closing u are very selfishhh

    get over urself not everyone wants to be mixed and burn upin the sun

    some of us want to stay dark and mate with other darkies.

    dark skin dark brown skin brown skin are thee true afrakans

    I’m a dark skinned girl who grew up with haterd toward my dark skin from other African-American males as well as females..To this day I still know that most African-American guys have problems with gurls that are darker. Most African-American guys want someone artificial and NOT real such as video gurls/white gurls/etc..Most African-American guys are really insecure..I agree w/ race and skin color do not determine love..but I still think that most Dark skinned girls are NOT given enough credit..

    Every person has their preferences on who they date. I’m a light skinned woman and all my girlfriends are dark skinned. I’m not the prettiest of them but I don’t see a difference in the amount of men we attract. My point being that it has nothing to do with the color of our skins but it was solely on the preference of the male and what he likes. In order for there to be some type of connection there has to be physical attraction. That’s life and you just have to deal with it.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/blackhardbody01/ blackhardbody01

    So do I get the same flack because I GENERALLY (Read not always) prefer dark skinned women? My mother is dark and it did influence me, my cousins mother is light and he prefers lighter sisters. Who cares if they’re black, if that’s the line we’re taking? And to the idiot who said he doesn’t date light skinned women because they are half breeds: You’re retarded and uneducated. Most black folks at some point in their family line are mixed. My mom is dark, her sister light, she looks like her mom, her sister like her dad who is light. This is an idiotic post by a fool anda bitter sister. He likes what he like and I respect him for seeing beauty in his own mother. How many other people can really see the same? So he should force himself to say I like dark skinned women to appease you because you bought his album? I thought sisters wanted the truth? Damn you forced me to write a blog tomorrow.

    thoughtmanifest

    i have peeded you out for somtime and you are another backwards ignorant possibly homosexual brotha who knows not which that he speaks.

    black is a color

    the people u are refering to r afrakans

    hence our name(dummy)afrakan amerikans

    we come in all shades in between dark and brown skin anything outside of this is now and has lways been and mixed breed

    a mulatto american

    im so glad u seem to be a weak minded fool to confuse our young and navie sisters into hating thhemselfs while my words are being read right now and many r saying he is a strong afrakan warrior of a man who loves.his people knows where he comes from

    but here you come thoughtmanifest with cream o ur chest

    and u r attacking afrakan women and men who love themselfes with no apoliges

    u are clearly not all there in ur brian thust ur hate filled comments would of never had be typed.

    u know what it is or do u not??

    clearly i have just exposed another homosexual down low brother who tink pale skin is attractive over dark skin and who hates the thought of dark skin people loving one another.

    such a shame

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/VA_QT88/ VA_QT88

    shango24…um what is wrong with being a “half breed”? 1 I consider myself a black female, my mother is black and so is my father. I just happen to take after my great grandmother who was part indian. 2 Black women come in all colors shapes and sizes so to call me a half breed just because my skin runs on the light side and i dont have to perm my hair doesnt mean a damn thing. Im so over the dark skin light skin thing, i mean it is rediculous, why can’t we be intellegent people and talk about more important things! This is why children of our race are growing up hating eachother and getting into trouble and going to jail because we dont talk about the important issues yet we will shout until we are blue in the face about stupid ish like this. Its time for people to grow up and just get the f**k over it. All he was saying was that he is attracted to light skinned women cuz his mother was light skinned, its a freudian response. It is known that boys tend to have a small crush on their mother and when they choose a mate they tend to pick someone like her. ITS PSHYCOLOGY! Pick up a book and read about it. Had his mother been darker it probably would have been the other way around, but then again no one would have been rasing hell over that would they? Just chill, you like who you like, and we all should just love eachother whether we are dark, medium, or light skinned.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/YoungE085/ YoungE085

    i don’t see what the big deal is, you like who like. people in this world think you responsible to date a color because you are that color. I will date any woman of any color, as long as I like her. At the end of the day, its not hatred towards a certain color, its just a preference to what you want.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/littlemoma30/ littlemoma30

    I can truly say I know how the writer of the article feels. If you look at all the videos now a days all the women are either light skinned or from a different nationality. I’m a brown skinned lady who would date a brotha of any skin color. But I can agree when dark skinned gurl aren’t given enough credit. We are just as sexy as the light skinned sistas.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/3_Beam_Dream357/ 3_Beam_Dream357

    Well, this is a sticky subject here. I know of a few people, both men AND women, who are colorstruck and have their preferences. Who are we to say whether or not its wrong or right, its his preference. Do i agree with it? No. But no one is asking me for my prefernce either. So tha dude has a preference for light skinned women, cool. He did say that he has dated darker women. How many men have a preference for women with a big butt? Or how many women have a preference of dating men with no kids? Cmon now, this subject is kinda tired yall!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/I_Am_Ebony/ I_Am_Ebony

    Seems like everyone in this thread is addressing the problem here all wrong. Lemme help out a bit: Every person is entitled to there preference when it comes to whom they are attracted to. For ex., I general gravitate toward tall, dark-skin brothers with a bright white teeth (whoo..) but i digress. The reason we tend to get riled up when a man of color professes his adoration for women of a lighter complexion is because it stirs up those old (and sometimes current) feels of inadequacy that we darker skinned people felt when compared to our brothers and sister who look “more white” (for lack of a better term). Because if he had said he preferred the darker sister, this post wouldn’t even have existed or better yet it would have been celebrated. So, Is Omarion wrong for preferring light-skinned women, no. But is any person wrong for believing that a light complexion automatically entails superior beauty. HELL YES.

    you are a very attractive strong sex looking sister

    send me a friend request and check out the beauty of the dark skin woman on my page.

    moving on

    the fact that u felt insecure about ur most attractive out of all the shades on earth ,skin,is because of the fact ur parents did not have deep self love for there complexions( i take both of ur parents were between dark and brown?)and so by the not teaching u and preparing u mentally for this world which has been europenized and taught to love pale and blonde and blue and green eyes

    they had set u up for self hate

    but i assure u right now i want to go go and grab some papaer and on that papaer write

    dark skin with dark skin create thee most beuatiful

    dark skin with dark brown skin creates thee most beautiufl

    dark skin with brown skin creates thee most beatiful

    once u do this then only put pictures of famous people and not so famous people who are between dark and brown skin and wake up tot hat every morning and look at it and feel good and proud that u we have been blessed as they usto to say long ago we have been kissed by amen-ra himself.

    everything comes from dark find me one thing that doenst???

    all minrals comes from inside the dark earth for the earth is the womb just like one ur dark womb will give birth to a dark child.

    i am an afrakan amerikan and i lvoe and only date dark skin and dark brown skin and brown skin afrakan women

    I agree with 3_Beam_Dream357
    I am a light skinned chick and I have suffered long standing racism from my own people. Personally, I’ve always been attracted to darker skinned men, but I had a baby by a light brown guy. Who cares! I love my black brotha’s and while I have my “preferences” I don’t pass up anything good, light or dark. As a people, we need to move past this s**t. There are PLENTY of gorgeous dark skinned women who date only white men.. go figure… while there will always be ignorance or self hatred… we really need to let this one go! When I was in HS all I wanted was to be dark! People always commenting on my “good hair” and “light eyes” got on my last f**king nerve.. NEWS FLASH!! I have long hair, but I still wear weaves… I have just as much difficulty with my curly hair as you do yours… I am a woman and hurt just like u…. hell, I’ve been rejected by the so-called pro-black, self righteous brothers because I am NOT black enough… My mom was white and my dad is black… I just lost my mommy on Thanksgiving… She was only 49… and she told me a long time ago to love who I am and appreciate the fact that I have a combination of beauty inside of me… aka the best of both worlds. I understand it now and I am comfortable with myself and my skin color… Peace!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/DaCuTiEsT1nSc/ DaCuTiEsT1nSc

    I feel you on this. I was a big fan of Omarion too. But he didn’t have to tell me that…I saw it for myself. There are a lot of men who prefer light-skinned women. But we have some who love the deep dark chocolate too. It use to bother me, because I’m dark-skinned too, but it’s reality. It’s our job to ignore such things. We are all beautiful in the eyes of GOD, and that’s all that really matters!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Gorgeous_Truth/ Gorgeous_Truth

    *SMH* Although, I am not dark skinned but I am even sick of hearing these comparisons of dark vs light skinned and people choosing a lighter skin color over the other. This is an ever-going concern of a lot of people to where it shouldn’t even be a concern AT ALL. Yes, it is sad to see people color struck and see one skin color superior as opposed to another but there are cases where it’s merely a preference and not one promoting “skin color superiority”. This dark vs light skinned really needs to stop. It’s childish and so worn out. However, the reality is that there are closed minded individuals in this world. That will never change. You just be secure with who you are and don’t worry about the world’s standards. –{@TRUTH@}–

    also not only r u a f**king idiot but u are a idiot who thinks u are smart and like the teacher i will teach.

    all of ethiopia at one time was nothing but a bunch of michal jordans and wesly snipes over there in that region and not intill the half breeds with the jews and also the arabs destroyed our great mother was made to look like it is today a cespool of pointed nosed half breed and dark skin half breed looking freaks.

    i guess u dont read much do u stupid?

    also since u have brought up ethiopia i want u to name the nswt aka king of ethiopia who destroyed a wole army of arabs in defense of our afrakan race???

    but yet u want to bring up the name ethiopia

    disgusting that u dont know that ethiopia was once a dark land and u filthy half breeds like u did kmt aka egypt u destroyed it and now 1000s of years later some uneducated half breed but with the same age old hatred towards us afrakans

    comes on a website and says look

    at ethipia now

You don’t let money change who you are or be arrogant to those around you cause at the end of the day you still black, white, asian or latino. He thinks he is better than everyone else and now i see why the people in b2k can’t stand him now or why fizz friends beat his a$$ in L.A.

Lastly, as time have proven anytime a ni99a get a little money he does forget where he came from and the black women who supported they assez on their climb up. The only reason why they get the beautiful light-skinned women is because they throwing money around and they see the celeb status. If they was broke then they would be all up under black women. It’s whatever light-skinned/dark-skinned DAYUM we all black quit tryin to throw around shades. Do you hear white folks and mexicans trying to add shades to their color. Black folks keep letting society prejudice against each other by putting different shades to our race. WE ARE BLACK…NOT LIGHT-SKINNED, DARK-SKINNED, MOCHA, CARMEL, BROWN, ETC….

    No one need to justify their preference in the opposite sex. Some women need to just stop hating themselves as well as other women. I literally “smh” when I come across women on this site who try so hard to appear to be exotic or mixed by noting that infantesimal amout of Native American heritage in them when they are blacker than midnight. And even worse is the females who be fallin’ two shades of light skin or caramel complextion and have screen names with “redbone..” this or that.

    As a dark skinned African woman I think it’s time we stopped concentrating on men that want to date women that fulfill a specific criteria like light skin. Can we please talk about men that like women with dark skin (although they might be on the extinct species list). Better yet let people have their preferences and associate only with people that bring positivity to our lives as individuals.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/mandeede1/ mandeede1

    Can we really be mad Omarion? He is young and ignorant as a handful of men his age are. It was obviously his “light- skinned” mother who raised him to think in such an ignorant matter. Or, maybe it could be the lack of male presence in his life that has resulted in his childish views. I actually feel more sorry for him. He would rather choose a “light skinned” hooker over an educated dark- skinned woman? He is a fool just like alot of these men in his business. WE should only feel sorry for him and ocntinue to educate our younger children so they don’t grow up like him. To say you don’t like African American women that are dark can also be translated to “I am not even aware of my own African roots and I am a fool brainwashed by the corrupt media.” Another idiot in the music idustry… who knew?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Call_Me_MrNooner/ Call_Me_MrNooner

    I totally disagree with what he said because I believe all women are beautiful, no matter their size, shape, height or complection. But come on now women please don’t act so damn innocent…women just as guilty of doing something like this as Omarion is, a lot of women judge a man by his appearance and not by his qualities or his personality. Many women may not care about the complection of a man as Omarion cares about the woman he dates but not all women but some women could really give a damn about a man unless he has muscles, looks like a damn football player, model, actor or somewhat thuggish or is thin. And some men not all men would not give a damn about a woman unless she has long hair, thick as all get out, a nice complection and a face as pretty as Halle Berry’s. Some women would rather date an ugly skinny or in shape dude rather than be caught with a bigger dude and some men would rather date a fuggly skinny or thick woman rather than dating a plus size woman. Most of this is due to society allowing us to think that bigger people are unkept and unhealthy which is a complete misconception. There are some in shape people out there that are even more unhealthy than a bigger person. Unfortunately what it all boils down to is perception and image, nobody wants to bring someone around that their so called friends would not approve of so they are embarrassed to be seen with a bigger person due to the misconceptions society allows us to believe.

    Last time I checked I keep myself clean and smelling terrific at all times, and I got my doctor’s report telling me that other than my weight I am a healthy man with no health issues and a long life to live. Now I know that I’m gonna get some backlash for this but I could really give a damn because this needs to be said and because I get judged based on my size all the time and I have been my whole life and this kind of in justice has to end.

    Until you see things from the point of view of a person who has been judged then you will never understand where I am coming from or understand what I mean. So before you judge what Omarion has to say you may want to look at yourself and think about whether or not women you turned down a dude because of the way he looked or men if you turned down a woman because of her appearance. Supposedly everyone has their own preference which I feel is wrong because God doesn’t say he has a preference or the people he loves and God also does not judge who he calls his children. So I don’t know who died and made people more powerful God who sent his only son who was perfect down here on earth to die for imperfect people like you and me. Last time I checked there has been no perfect person walking this earth since Jesus and there never will be again.

    We have our own imperfections and blemishes so nobody has the right to judge anybody. I said all of this to say yes Omarion is wrong for saying what he did but the men and women who come on here and criticize him have more than likely made the same criticism towards a man or woman also. Now for those who haven’t I congradulate you and I hope you continue to not be so judgemental but to those who have take a look at yourself in the mirror and look at your imperfections before you decide to turn someone down based on what he or she looks like without getting to know him or her for who they are.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/brownsugar505/ brownsugar505

    Ok, I have to past another comment because as I read these comments some people are saying that whats the problem with him wanting someone like his mother. If he wants someone like his mother he will look more than at the skin. He would say that he go for personality and the respect that these women have for him which is somwthing that he mother has. Like I said beauty is skin deep. I was always taught never judge a book by its cover. I have dated all kinds of men dark,brown,dark,white,big,skinny,short,tall,hair, and some with no hair at all. It was about the way that they treated me and the respect that they had for me. If he was saying all of that about these women then I can understand why he says he wanted someone like his mother but not because the color of the skin. Anyways who cares if he like it I love it. Thats what it all boils down too. Some people wonder why there relationshiip doesnt work. If you go based on looks and not what you have in common with a person then its not going to work. I believe that you have to know a person inside out. You can be fine as all out doors, but if you dont respect me and treat me like a women suppose to be treated then you dont have two words to say to me. That is just me, God made us a different for a reason! I love the way he made me.

    Listen up folks and listen good! While everybody is choosing colors and picking sides (black folk only), it all boils down to this, “Division”.
    While every other race on this planet is hand in hand and thick as thieves, black folks are all doing the chicken head shuffle. You know, scratching, digging and pecking one another for no real apparent reason at all. Other than we appear different from one another. That’s why the majority of the world can’t stand us! We can’t stand ourselves sometimes! We’re predjudice against each other simply because we’re all not the same like all the other races (we have various skin tones). Come on people, like I said in the beginning, listen and listen good.
    There was this little ole’ thingy once upon a time, a long long time ago, called “The Willie Lynch Law”. A lot of people would have you think this is fake, you know, like the devil himself! Well this law goes a little something like this. Seperate the blacks from their ancestors! Don’t allow their native tongue to be passed down from generation to generation! Don’t allow them to keep educated by telling their history to their children and their children’s children. Teach them not to be good parents by not allowing them to marry one another when they fall in love. Seperate the baby from the Father because we all know that he is the true head of the family and the body can never stay alive without the head. Keep the black male and black female turning against one another for we (the racist white man, not just any white man) know that the body (the black male) cannot exist without the heart (the black female). I got a hard question for you. How do you truly kill a black man? Answer: Stab him in the heart with a black woman! You see, then it seems his racist’s hands are clean! Satan will use any willing vessle, no matter who you are. That goes the same with brother against brother. Did anyone ever check the endangered species list? Well guess what my brothers and sisters? We’re on it and that’s a fact! We are the only human species on the endangered species list! Damn! Excuse my french but I think you would call that genicide! You know, a purposful design to exterminate a whole race of people. Yeah that’s right! It’s all designed that we perpetually bicker, berate and kill one another simply because we’re different and not closely resembling one another like all other races. Come on my people, listen up! If you don’t believe me, just look around you! Take a close look! Without the “Willie Lynch” glasses fool!
    Now, some of you will hear and understand these words of plea. Then there will be the others that will carry on with the genocidal traditional attitude (ooga-booga).
    Listen up folks and listen well, I love you. I love you so very much. We have got to come together here and now! It starts with how we treat one another. The tone of voice that we use when we speak to each other. Try honey on the tongue and spit out the same gall that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ could not stomach. The same bitterness that they tried to give Him to drink while He hung thirsty with spikes driven through His hands and feet. This bitterness is the exact same gall that they are trying to give to us whom are thirsty for life’s existance. We too, as did our Savior Jesus Christ, should spit out the bitter taste of ignorance, predjudice, a blind eye, hatred, a turned head, a condescending and sarcastic word. We are our brothers keeper you know?!
    This food for thought will feed your mind. It will digest in your heart and manifest in your very lives. You have the tongue of authority to actually create your own destiny. So choose to speak life and not death over yourselves and one another. Choose to be whom you were truly meant to be! Do it with charity! Yes that is right, do it with Love… Nuff Said

    Okay..so what’s the big deal? It’s his preference. Even though I love Black men, my PREFERENCE is dark-skinned men. I don’t discriminate against the lighter complexion because I myself am bright skinned. But I find them more attractive. I was in a long term relationship with a light-skinned Black man, and yet he hasn’t soured my taste for that caramel flavor. So to those hating on Omarion, just let it be.

Now I know, as a biracial light skinned woman myself, that color has been an issue in our race for a while but we all need to get over it. My preference is dark skinned brothers and I don’t have a problem voicing that because it is MY preference just as Omarion’s preference is light skinned woman. So what. It doesn’t change his music any or make him less of a man, its just his preference….. Can we get pass being upset with all this color hype and get over it once and for all. Enough is enough.

    First of all notice that all the women saying get over it just so happen to be light skinned. Granted it is his preference everyone has their preference, however the issue is bigger than Omarion. He is only one man but he represents this new mentality amongst black men that alludes 2 this idea that light skin is synonymous with beauty. What happened to 2Pac days, where the blacker the berry the sweeter the juice. Yes it is his personal preference however I understand where the author of this article is coming from. Its sad, and quite disgusting that so many black men don’t find beauty women unless their light bright or mixed. Way 2 progress ppl!!

    His preference is his own, but most likely it the tipical sterotype that a black man can get further in life with a very light or white women on his arm. I’m not made at him, he is just like so many other black mind washed people that only view light or white as beautiful. It’s sad but it’s his loss. On to the next subject.

    Okay Okay ladies, let’s not act as if it’s just black men, black women do it to. it seems to me that allot of dark skinned women prefer light skin or straight just white or latino men, I would put money on it that lilmo4usluv prefers light skinned men. It is rare to see a dark skinned couple these and i think that’s sad. the black community as a whole have a bad mental complex when it comes to skin and self worth. Anthony hamilton and his wife now that’s a rare couple. I personally don’t care, it all depends on if we click or not and if im attracted to you. I’m just not a white woman type of guy but who knows, i can’t tell the future.

    How is this different from most black men who are in a high position and have lots of money? Look at Diddy or Lil Wayne or Kanye!! Anyways, it is what it is. I don’t trip. But I guarantee if all the dark skinned sisters stop buying their albums, they would fall by the waste side. See we are free physically but slavery still has us shackled mentally.

    An old stpry. What an idiot. I would chalk it up to immaturity, but, “NO”. He is a fool to decide that the women he should give any attention to must be light-skinned. Well, hopefully now, dark skinned women will not support his efforts, since he won’t give them the time of day. I have never bought his music, and never will. I love my dark sisters and the light, and the medium skinned ones too. I love ‘em all, because it’s not about the skin, but the character. Obviously, he has none!

    As a dark-skinned woman it doesnt matter to me anymore. It used to but now it doesnt. I have seen alot of black men who wont date black females at all.

    True everyone have their picks….I date a certain quality or type of man but the reasons are never superficial things such as skin color,money,or other materialistic things.I don’t believe the bs about him doing it because his mom is light. About 90% of my family is light. My father is mixed and light while my mother is dark…and I camoflauge depending on the sun and season…but I make it my business first to choose a GOOD man. I think this is another weak ass black man needing a woman to validate him in the eyes of others and some of us have chosen things in life to make us more acceptable in the eyes of those we want to associate with or impress. Just look at it like this all my Choclateers,,,thats one less b***h nigga we have to slow us down due to dealing with their b***hy ways and I can’t buy anymore of his s**t because i get even darker at my job to earn my cheese and I be damned if he get any of my dark skinned earned money. Light skinned sistas don’t take that s**t to the head because a woman is her worth not her skin color.

    BET does more bad for us as far as or self esteem as a people goes.90% percent of the video chicks are light and believe me they are purposely picked that way.Black is so beautiful and powerful that people get nervous when they see to much of it….it’s sad.

Rather you’re light, dark, red, yellow, purple, blue, orange etc…., there’s always gonna be those who prefer you because of that, as well as those who don’t! Please don’t get so caught up in those who don’t and continue loving you for you.

    This is something else to get the black community riled up, and he succeeded. To be honest with you, I love brown and dark-skinned sisters as much as the light-skinned ones, maybe even more. Big girls are as beautiful as the skinny ones. As for the sister who think light-skinned ones are better looking than dark-skinned cats, what you smoking? Dark-skinned and brown-skinned brothers got it going on, too. It’s not all the light-skinned cats. Man, we got to stop mistreating ourselves like this. Appreciate a good brother or sister, before other races try to jack them from us. They’re out there, and we just don’t them their due until they blow up! What seems to be garbage to one person, just might be gold to someone else! Later for the haters! Much later!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/browncara/ browncara

    i think that there is a double standard when it comes to darker skinned black women and darker skinned black men. black women see a chocolate black man and think he looks good, but when a darker skinned black woman is on the scene it’s “oh yeah she look good to be dark” why is that we put so much on the darker skinned black women and not the men, chocolate is chocolate, its all sweet. i myself im lighter skin toned and i love dark skinned black men over a lighter skinned black man anyday, and i know some beautiful dark skinned black women and and there are some in my family, but just because its light dont mean it looks better, cause its some ugly a@# light skinned people in the world, like gina from martin, eewwwhhh wee she ugly. just something to think about, we need to stop focusing on the different shades of our awesome and very versatile skin tones, it stems from slavery when the lighter skinned work closer to the house or in the house “house niggas” and the darker ones worked the field “field niggas” it was just another way they kept us divided back then, now we have adopted this notion that light is right, slavery is over and so should this bs notion about light and dark and which one is better.

    I think you should just get over it. If Omarion doesn’t have enough P.R.I.D.E. in his race and self to love all women then let him date “light skinned” women. People are gonna date whoever they want and slandering his name and putting him on blast isn’t going to change anything. Have enough Potential Respect Integrity Dignity and Excellence in yourself to find a man who loves a women regardless of their skin color. And make sure you destroy the double standard that “light skinned” men are more attractive because that isn’t always true.

I HEAR MANY BLACKS CALLING THEIR HAIR “BAD HAIR!” LITTLE DO THEY KNOW IF THEY CONDITION AND MOISTURIZE THEIR HAIR, THEIR HAIR WOULD BE JUST AS HEALTHY! I SEE SOO MANY NATURAL STYLES ON YOUTUBE THAT ARE GORGEOUS! IF YOU WANT IT STRAIGHT, PRESS IT! LET’S BE HONEST PEOPLE!

    He is fukin UGLY anyway, and I’m “lightskinned” I still wouldn’t date his ugly @ss. Only n i g g a s say dumb@ss sht like this. And NO it is NOT like a Whiteman saying he prefers blondes, because Blond is a hair color not a race. Fukin self-hatin @ss negroes make me sick! I am disgusted with this generation. You have NO PRIDE and you all sell-out at a drop of a hat! You waste no time throwng your people under the bus. No time at all.
    And I don’t know where you people get all these dumb@ss comments from but this little color thing is figment of your imagination. Only n i g g a s sit around and say stupid sht like “I only date lighskinned women.” Really? Because I only date Brothas that APPRECIATE BEING BLACK.

    I agree with the one girl saying that this was a very unprofessional article about this matter. It seems as though some people are never satisfied. So what, if the guy has a preferrence in what type of woman he dates. Some of you are acting as if he said he only dates white women. If he would’ve said he dates only dark-skinned women, all the light-skinned women would’ve been pissed. Yall act like ya’ll would just date any-damn-body. What it all comes down to; live YOUR life and grow the f**k up!!!!!

    Why do we care what OMARION prefers? Need I font again that its, OMARION we’re talking about? Lets be honest people, on the low he probably prefers dark skinned MEN. This young man’s opinion/preference will never stop other people in the world from loving sexy chocolate women. Again I rant, its cotdamn OMARION! Why are we pretending as though he’s that relevant. I would be taken aback if it were someone like Roland Martin. Not Bow Wow’s ex boyfriend.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/RyanJRob/ RyanJRob

    Man, get off of O’s nuts. When he made the comment about his mom’s skin color being the reason he’s like that, it only means that when he looks for a woman, he’s looking for his mom. I’m sure he has a close relationship with his mom, so therefore, he wants his wife to have the same qualities. Perfect example….if ur dad was 6’7 and 250, ur prob gonna find u a big man that reminds u of ur father. Which leaves all the 5’4 and 120 lb fellas chillin by there lonesome.

    I am a black woman; who happens to be light skin, my mother is light skin, however my dad is darker and I tend to go for darker skinned guys; just as Omarion stated they remind him of his mother. We do not seem to have a problem if we say we prefer to date darker skinned black people, I have dated light skin-skinned guys, none because of their complexion, all because I was attracted to them.

    That was definitely a waste of time. The truth is, being as dark as I am, women as well as most men prefer the lighter shaded counterparts. Trust me, I witness this all too often. But honestly, I feel that we have come too far to let something this insignificant to hold us back. People like who they like and are not responsible for whom they fall in love with.

    Sort through all the men ranking up all your top picks

    Do you choose by mind body or soul or for a profit

    They say all yall want to do is go in their pockets

    To take out their money their keys but leave their wallets

    Tie them up and blind fold them using sex to hold them hostage

    Yall ride extra hard on a condom trying to pop it

    Next thing they know they looking at architecture that is
    gothic

    Then anything related to sex suddenly stopped quik

    Then yall argue bout nothing then call yall girls to gossip

    Some of Men chose to study aeronautics

    Others chose to become sub marine pilots

    Some said what the heck and studied economics

    So far the most promising sciences is in robotics and bionics

    Im just joking ladies.Its late and Im bored.You laughing? Or do you got the angry face?
    I repeat it was a joke.I repeat again sometimes I go by the name SirJokesAlot and I grew up wearing tie dyed hammer pants with cargo pockets on the sides with beanie babies in them.

    Say what you want, but does he not have the right to his preference?? It could be just his preference. One can’t know for sure if internalized white supremacy played a part in his preference. Only he can tell, if he even knows he is a “victim”. I really don’t know why he is the way he is. I do know it isn’t just men with this issue and the bias is not only against darker skin. I have been told by many women that I am too light for them. I personally prefer dark skin sisters. It’s been that way since high school. Without having more information…you just don’t know what his motives are.

    black saviour you are an idiot, that has nothing to do with black self hate. Keeping the white man’s religion “christianity” and the white man’s name is called black self hate…and just because he is dating “light skinned” women doesn’t mean he is an uncle tom…that is his preference…last time I checked, light skinned women were black as well…so are you saying he should be ashamed of himself and his mother because she is light skinned? Most men date women who looks and acts like their own mother…that’s the woman they love the most…so get off that fake black power bulls**t and open your mind…the world is bigger than what you think…

    Grandberry is still young, maybe he just hasn’t met enough women. lol Before it is all over when he meets the soul mate, he won’t care about color because true love blooms in the soul. To have that soulmate in your corner when maybe your records and your movies aren’t doing so well… hum That soul mate will remain faithful, wash it… and sit on it and be true only to you…. and you to her…. in the gameplaying stage, just like nintendo, xbox, or wii you select your style. But in the real world and when you grow up, your soul connects with a person and frivilous things don’t matter any more. I have lots of native american in me as my cousins. In the summer I am really dark and in the winter I get really light. I get the straps tan and stuff too, but I have the thicker African American hair. It is all about attitude, and if all you have going for you is your money, sure you can buy it but is it yours when you are not looking? As one gets older the games will cease. I shall pray……. I am in my 40′s now and I have some relatives that had the same view. I have been in my relationship since my teens and they are as old as me and “miserable and still seeking” They ask me how we did it meaning my husband and me and we told them WE are joined from within. Yes, I admit, I look good and my husband is fine too, but thank goodness that is not all we had going for ourselves. LOL

    In closing… once again, when the money is gone, will his fantisies be fufilled. My baby and I are middle working and dont quite earn 6 figs but we are close, we weren’t always there but we grew together this is another bond we have. Guess what we still fulfill each other’s fantisies.

    I have someone dear to me that married because of the light skin and great sex, but now they are literally in hell on earth because they can’t stand that way this person talks, the person ended up being a slob, and is very non supportive of any and all and is not a good role model at all for their kids. she is really light and lite headed to go along with it. LOL so there are uh a few more things that need to be explored when selecting a mate.ok….?

    I am light myself and my mom can pass. but we have that head on our shoulders and we are very committed, clean, women of high standards, and that is what the real deal is. the looks are very important but make sure they aren’t a dummy too, or it won’t last. That’s dark or light. I am married and very satisfied. We both still get hit on because people know we are committed and it is not so much that they want us, but they want to see if they can breakt his 23 years up. WE are not stupid we see what’s happening and don’t fall for the mess. lol

    My heart goes out to folk that never get past that little dating stage and experience a for real relationship.
    Let me put it this way, the good stuff is in side of the m and m candy, the good stuff is in side of a pinata, the good stuff is inside of an eclair, the good stuff is inside of a long, meaningful, lasting relationship.
    As long as you are on the surface, yeah you’ll get a lil taste, but once you taste the inside. I am talking more than 5 or 6 little teeny bopper years, but how about tripple of 4 to five times this many years. Just like a bank account gets fat after this long. so does a long meaninful relationship . Ashford and Simpson said:”Solid as a Rock!”

    I have to say that the brother named “SELDOMSEENE” is on point with his analysis. These females are trippin’ on here about this man’s preference, when, if you go to their myspace or bp page, they want you to be 6ft tall, be cut like a rock, drive a certain car, have this and that, just for them to add you as a friend. Same way on the streets, women are the most superficial creatures on earth, passing up the guy that actually gives a damn about them in favor of that m.f with his pants hanging off his ass, with a oversized t-shirt and a swisher in his pocket. I love a yellow-bone as much as the next man, but i wouldn’t rule out dating a darker skinned woman, either. It’s his preference and he has a right to it. I’m glad these women are pissed off, maybe they will stop being so damned worried about what a guy looks like or has, rather than how he is on the INSIDE. Shallow ass mother#$%s!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/mstanmi/ mstanmi

    He can like who he wants. It doesnt matter to me. My man loves me not matter how light or dark I am. He did not look at skin color. He look at my personality. I am an dark skinned woman. What he said did stike a nerve, but we as dark skinned women needs to just move on and not be mad about what he said. We are loved regardless…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/chooseylover_1/ chooseylover_1

    “BlackSaviour” , he is not an “uncle tom’ because of his preference. You could have kept that comment to yourself. This is not about anything racial, or about self-hate, if anything, you people need to stop hating on HIM. The ladies that are pissed off, it’s not like he was gonna ever date YOU anyway.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Jauharah/ Jauharah

    The problem with Black men preferring light or white skinned women is that they (these men) believe that they are getting a prize in them AFTER a dark skinned women helped them (these idiot men) get where they are. Quite frankly a woman expecting a man to have a particular job (earning capacity) is NOT superficial; it’s realistic. No woman wants a broke ass/broke down man that she has to support because a man is supposed to support a woman.

    I personally want nothing to do with a Black man ever again. The ones I’ve encountered are ignorant and need their asses kicked on a regular basis. They ego trip when they got NOTHING to offer and are clowns in bed with their “itty bitty” tools.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/teachy1/ teachy1

    Who gives a crap who this young man dates? The sticking point is if someone can’t even SPEAK to someone of the unpreferred color. That is a problem. I have experienced this. You’ll by necessity walk almost into an African American man in a store or down the sidewayand he’ll look you in the face and then turn away–as if you don’t even exist. I think they think we must all want them. I wanna say, “Do you see my finger?” I’m MARRIED! I’m not interested in your low class *ss. I just think my humanity requires that you have the decency to speak or say excuse me. I’ve dated them of all colors, but I’m MARRIED now and not on the make. Just say hello.

So it’s not even that much left for us to choose from anyway, nowadays most of these chicks is GAY as hell (just browse on myspace or bp) then you got the excessively overweight ones, then the ones that are left would rather date the other man, over the brother man.

I’m so sick of the black community jumping all over each other for stupid mess like this. Who cares about him?? He doesn’t affect anyone’s life on BP, twitter, myspace, facebook etc.. If you subscribe to his page and you don’t like what he has to say then delete him and move on.. You have the problem, not him.

    It doesnt matter what type of woman he likes. He is the one that has to date her or deal with her period. It is his life not yours or mines. We have enough to deal with in life in general to be worried about the color of the skin a person is dating is. When are we ever going to see the big picture and stop focusing on the little unimportant things.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Nostalgia09/ Nostalgia09

    Who cares, everybody like something more than the other. doesn’t necessarily mean he wouldn’t date darker skin-toned women. He also said in the twitter response that he has had a dark skinned GF. I think they (women) take this subject out of control now days. It’s such an old topic. Get over it. Ya’ll ladies ain’t no different with ya’ll dating white men or a liter skin toned brotha. but personally, I could care less if I see a lady walking with a liter dude than me. I’m only worried about MY OWN $H!T… :) But, Omarion, you a punk for deleting your account.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Prettyp/ Prettyp

    Interestingly enough this made news? So I guess I will comment. LOL Omarions choice in women is just that, his. The problem is dark-skin women need to stop feeling insecure about their appearance and blaming it on men. These men are naturally going to pick women they know they probably wouldn’t have a chance with because they are famous. The real question is, if Omarion was broke would he be all that fine? I don’t think so. . .he would just be another brotha with braids. . . an average dude. His wife is beautiful but lets be real, he married a stripper??!!

    Yeah I don’t get it, someone asked a question and he answered it. Now they’re mad at his answer. Would you rather him lie about his taste in women. Damn, get a grip.

    LOL. To each his own. Most women (myself included) would not date a man under 5’10. Hey, his description of ‘light’ really isn’t light at all. At least he didn’t say he never dates black women. Like ejizz and hope said, we all have our preferences. Let him be.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/lildtorrey/ lildtorrey

    This isn’t a light skinned vs. dark skinned issue. Everyone has a preference. For instance, how many black women do you know prefer to not date white men? How many white men prefer to only date black women, and vice versa. Leave the boy alone.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/afronativechick/ afronativechick

    Honestly…this was a guy that most of these female “fans” probably weren’t going to have a chance with anyway. So whats the hoopla about? Who cares? Hes an idiot if he dates only by skin tone. This “light skin vs. dark skin” debate is getting ridiculous.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/strengthofcharacter/ strengthofcharacter

    People have a right to their own preferences, especially as it relates to dating. This posting suggests the absurdity of a person NEEDING to choose someone they might not be attracted to just because that person is attracted to them. While disclosing this preference publicly, knowing how sensitive an issue this is for some darker skinned black women, was not in good taste. He should not be vilified for exhibiting a preference.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/kykybaby08/ kykybaby08

    I dont see wat the problem is everyone has their preference on a certain type of people they choose to go out with. I went thru a fase where I only dated guys who had braids just because thats who I was attracted to. Im a dark skin woman and i dnt understand why dark skin girls are so jealous of light skinned girls I have plenty of light skin friends and when we all go out together I never look at them as competition, I get approached by just as many guys as they do. Dark skin girls need to get over this insecurity with their complection if your pretty than it doesnt matter what your skin color is. Im not mad at omarion he likes who he likes I’ve never been attracted to him just on the fact that hes to short, its not that big of a deal people.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/poisoni/ poisoni

    So what if he prefers light-skinned women. We are all intitled to our prefrences. It’s just like saying you prefer muscular men, or thin women. Heck, I prefer big men. O, good for you for being “human” and knowing what you want in life. To the angry ex-fan. Grow up! it’s not like you had a chance with him anyway. You liked him for his music and not his dating prefernces.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/poisoni/ poisoni

    Kineshia, it says nothing about fans just that he speaks to models and light skinned women. That doesn’t show ignorance. If he wants a woman in the image of the beautiful woman who raised him and nurtured him then good for him. The only problem is the girl who was not comfortable in her own skin and found it offensive. As women of color, we all need to be proud of the skin tone God gave us. I’m glad to see that you are. Kudos. But that ex-fan needs a self esteem boost cause if we are happy with ourselves then no one elses prefrences will make a difference.

I’m light skinned, and I’m only attracted to dark men, something about that smooth, black skin just turns me on, no offense to light guys, that’s just my prefference, which I am entitled to, JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE! And his reason might not make sense to some people because it’s HIS reason, just like you have your reasons for liking what and who you like, and guess what, he’s entitled to that too, as long as it makes sense to him! And to all those people that have a negative comment about Omarions statement, I agree with SnakeWork & Hetto_Wit_a_G. Mind your own bizniz and STFU!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/goddes83_143/ goddes83_143

    There is nothing wrong with having a preference, however when you feel like one particular group of people are inferior based on the color of their skin thats when there is a problem. I am a dark chocolate women and it is crazy to see many of my fairer complexioned girlfriends get angry when men pay me more attention art social outings. O.K people read The Miseducation of The Negro. This light vs. dark bulls**t has to stop. So what Omarion likes lightskinned women, so what the fan got angry after spending her hard earned money on a star who thinks less of her because shes dark, this happens everyday. Shes intitled to her feelings just like hes intitled to his preference.

Does that make me racist or disliking the light skin brothers. It is just a matter of preference.

    That’s Omarion’s business. He didn’t say he only dates Hispanic women or white woman. He is with a sista’ so what the hell is the issue? He said nothing negative towards darker complexions. I don’t know why people can put all this effort to get upset about this and they are the ones who hate on other black people when those black people are trying to do something with their life. When black on black hate stops, I’ll take these arguments as more relevant. Until then why complain about this sort of issue on HelloBeautiful?

    This is ridiculous, really. I can’t believe this is even an issue. Who cares what type of women he prefers. Yes he prefers light-skinned women, it is a preference. It does not mean he is racist towards dark- skinned females. I myself prefer dark- skinned men. I barely date my own kind. It does not mean I am racist. Everyone is entitled to choose who they want to date or be with. Who cares if he said it to his fans. He kept it real and that is what he likes. Truth of the matter is he will never date a fan no way, especially now that he is married. Let’s discuss other things, I’m pretty sure there are more important things to talk about. Still luv you Omarion. Your fan4life.

Dark skinned women (like myself) fail to realize that there are plenty of men out in the world who LOVE our dark skin, we steady focus on the ones who have personal preferences and criticize them saying that they hate there own kind when that’s far from the fact of the matter. I know sometimes it might hurt our feeling when something like this surfaces, but its up to us black brown to dark skinned women to just ignore it! “For every MAN who doesn’t want us, the next MAN will” -No color reference!

If u spent half of that energy on somethin thats more productive, then I guarantee u wouldnt be worried about who he likes! Until he says “I don’t like black women”, You cant call him a racist!…Call him “color-struck”!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/blue_ninja/ blue_ninja

    i dont really care about the skin color itself, its the attitude that comes along with it. from my personal experience light skin women seem to have better attitudes than dark skin women. yes i have met redbones with funky ass attitudes and i have met dark skin women who were just as sweet and polite as can be, but across the board the light skin women i meet are more chill and down to earth. on the other hand my uncles on my mom side are all light skin and they all married very dark skin women, they all say thats their preference.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/XquisitelyFyne/ XquisitelyFyne

    I’m sure Omarion is a decent guy so I’m not even gonna speak about him specifically….But this little story about him sparked the following thoughts……

    It’s very difficult for a black woman not to get discouraged in the day we live in. Black men (I’M NOT SAYING ALL OF THEM) are becoming more prone to the thin, non-black beauty. Some of them stop at the light-skinned black woman, but others just have to go all the way. Asians, Whites, and Hispanics are snatching them right up. My younger brother just had a daughter with a Hispanic girl. My older brother is married to an Oriental woman. When I was younger he used to say he’d never date outside his race. But hey, people change I suppose. Then people wanna say “Why don’t you date outside your race? You might like it.” Well, the same reason latinalover1968 prefers black men. But even if I was interested in non-black men, how often do you see a non-black man give a sista a try? Seriously……..

    I am SO confused. Let me get this straight…someone came out and ASKED Omarion a question about HIS preference right?….Then he answered them….and now there’s problem? Did I get that right? What is the big damn deal. So what? Omarion is attracted to light -skinned women. Big deal. Some black men like white women, some white women like black men, some black women like white men and some black women like only black men. Personally, I’m about as light-skinned as you can get and I only date beautiful, dark, chocolate-brown brothers. Light skinned men just don’t do it for me. Isn’t that my perogative? Or am I a hater and prejudice against my own shade of black. Gimme a break people. NEW TOPIC

    the big deal is when the media are only putting light skins more on the views of our children on tv, and mags, and others with make ups and photoshops and dark skins are disappearing from their views that’s a big deal! when p diddy is only looking for light skin models for his ads that’s a big deal! when those black stars are saying they preferred light skins, they also saying they like white skins before they like the dark skins!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Regal_Hilly/ Regal_Hilly

    I do not see why people are upset about the fact that Omarian dates light-skinned women. The last time I visited the States it was a free country, where freedom of choice exists. It is no one’s business who this guy dates. It’s his choice whether he wants to date a black woman who happens to have a light complexion. It doesn’t bother me as a mocha skinned black woman who he chooses to date. Give the fella a break there are more important issues in life to vent about- such as why are there so many black young men in prison!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/-FC-/ -FC-

    Man i dont knw why black women are mad, this has been going on for decades with black men and women. Women do the same thing but its never really a big issue, I have heard and seen first hand how black women say they only date light-skin or darked skined men so what is the deal about what that boy O said if thats what he likes thats what he likes. Black women need to stop trippin.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/mrfun50/ mrfun50

    Its all so ridiculous and petty,that man can date whoever he chooses. I am a fair skinned African American male and I like woman who are “Light Bright Damn Near White”. In fact I will date a white woman or a Latina over a black woman.Those who don’t like it so be it.That is their problem and their own issues to take to their Therapist if they have one. Woman get the f**k over it.

    I say leave him alone. He knows what he likes and that’s all there is to it, so why should you be offended. I come from a light-skinned, gray eyed, curly haired family. But ALL THE MEN IN THIS FAMILY will date and marry no less than THE most chocolate woman they can find. Are they wrong for what they like? What about all the light skinned women who want nothing more than a man who looks like he’s been dipped in tar. LEAVE THAT BOY ALONE.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/bubblebuddy25/ bubblebuddy25

    First of all, How can anyone get mad because Omarion does not prefer to date light-skinned women. I think anyone that got mad at what he said is a hater, simply their probably not light-skinned. Everyone has preferences and types whether they believe it or not. So you need to get off that man’s nuts, if you dont know him personally enough to get mad at what he said.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/bubblebuddy25/ bubblebuddy25

    The chick that wrote a comment on his twitter who originally got mad, needs to learn how to spell before she gets mad at anything else someone says….

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/bubblebuddy25/ bubblebuddy25

    Also, judging from the pictures that were put on blackplanet, as women he’s dated it seems to me that Omarion does not only date light-skinned women, he also likes brown-skinned women too. So that would only appear to me that the girl who wrote the original comment must have been dark-skinned and did not have anything else to do with her time then check Omarion’s twitter comments….

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/GumbyMHC/ GumbyMHC

    Ok so he likes light skinned girls….and your mad why? if anything the fact of who he dates, light skinned or dark, well take if farther, white or black, should have nothing to do with weather you support his music or not…and what ever reason he gives, cuz he didn’t have to give a reason to begin with!, shouldn’t be seen as stupid to anybody. At least he has a reason and knows what he likes…..which is more than what iCan say for most! So if your gonna support his music do so because you like it…not because he would date you?! cuz to be real if that was the case they you should support everybody’s music who would date you. So if Flavor Flav likes you and would date you, you should support his next bullsh#t album. Don’t get mad….go get a guy that will date you and get over this lil bull.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/2daTopnonStop/ 2daTopnonStop

    This was written and posted by the Assistant Editor? In all your rage you must have forgotten to hit spell check.

    Did you not read ALL of his tweet? He has a preference for a type of woman…So the f-what? Since I dig taller men that makes me a short man hater? NO~ I’ve dated cats shorter than me, but I prefer taller men.

    It’s stories like THESE that continue that viscious cycle the slave handlers started! ‘Light good dark bad. So dark should hate light because (fill in blank).’

    Look at the headline “Omarion ONLY dates light skinned girls” from his own postings that was added, that totally contradicts what the “article” is about.

    Quit stirring the pot of hate…maybe when we “colored” folks can start looking past the color of our OWN skin, then the rest of the world will do the same. Love to see it start with BP~

    OMG!?!? not more wit the skin color ugh so wat he prefers “light-skinned” females best.. Yea im kinda pissed but it doesnt matter its his life.. I jus mite not buy his music anymore he cud have phrased it slighty different.. its not like we dont all have a preference about who we’de rather date :)

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/psilentstorm/ psilentstorm

    So he has a preference! Why do some people have to make such a big deal out of nothing. I personally preferred dark-brown and dark sistas, but guess what–a lot of them wanted lighter guys. A personal preference is just what the term implies, personal! Some women prefer thugs. Others will not date a man who doesn’t make or have a certain amount of money. Many would rather share a man with 3 or 4 other women rather than be with someone who fits into their “preference” standards, so why villanize Omarion for this. It’s so trite and trivial!

    In the same light, I prefer only thin women. I don’t like, and would never go for an over-weight female because a fat girl does absolutely nuttin’ for me! — I’m just not atttracted to them!… So what now? Ya’ll gunna gimme s**t ‘cuz I’m not attracted to fatties???… On the other hand, my boy only goes for the big-girls because the little ones don’t have enough meat on them for his liking!?!…
    Look! We all have our likes and dislikes! And we can’t fault one another for our preferrences! Its not to say “O” is oppressing nor hindering dark-shinned women everywhere out of his unattaction towards them! He’s simply sayin’ he won’t f**k ‘em!!!… And even @ that, I shouldn’t be puttin’ words in the nigga’ mouth, cuz’ he only said he “preferred” (which is the operative word) the lighties over the darkies!?!… If dude ain’t attracted to female darkies, dude ain’t attracted to female darkies!!!…
    I wonder if all ya’ll people that have a problem with his unattaction to dark-shinned women would have the same reaction and come to the defence of caucasian women if a brotha’ said, “Nawh!… I don’t go for White girls!”???

I ALSO SEE THAT SOME OF THE PEOPLE COMMENTING ARE MAKING THIS A RACE ISSUE AND THAT’S NOT THE CASE. PREFERENCE IS NOT RACISM… LOOK IT UP. HE’S NOT KNOCKING DARK-SKINNED WOMEN HE JUST PREFERS LIGHT-SKINNED FEMALES. EVERYONE HAS A PREFERENCE. BESIDES THE FEMALES HE SUPPOSEDLY DATED ON THAT PICTURE ALBUM ARE NOT EVEN LIGHT-SKINNED THEY’RE BROWN-SKINNED. I’M PUERTO RICAN AND I PREFER AFRICAN AMERICAN MEN, DOES THAT MAKE ME A RACIST TOWARDS MY OWN KIND? STOP HATING ON THE BROTHA AND LET HIM LIVE HIS LIFE. TO THE FEMALE WHO STARTED THIS…IF YOU DON’T WANT TO BUY HIS MUSIC BECAUSE OF WHAT FEMALE HE PREFERS THEN YOU NEED TO GROW UP AND STOP BEING IMMATURE.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Naji11/ Naji11

    Dark skinned women are a reflection of his own iage in the mirror, which he sees everyday, This is reflection also reminds him of a father or mother, his adversant to ‘dark skinned women’ is an adversant to himself his family & his our race as a whole; if some one comes to your home and says, ‘I like u but not u, this prson but not that’, I think we would neatly ask that person to leave.

    However, when its a person who stills from our creativity & music from the ‘dark women & people who trained him’ we still by it’s records.

    It is a new low when we, who have suffered under preferrential law, learn from the wite supremacists how to even hate ourselves enough to insult our roots.

    Therefore, It is our obligation to condemn any of us who degrade our image by rejecting us based on the color of our skin, in this wite supremacist notion country, He might as well said ‘I only date out of my race’ this is a grave sin against the ancestors who sacraficed their blood so that we as a people could live on after them, and not be extinct.

    I personally am a medium to dark skinned black man,(Naji11) & when they say opposites attract they are not talking about skin color preference, which, if it is not tlking about outside ones own race, is a crime against ones mother, father, and family and people. it is talking personalities, i.e. quiet from boisterous.

    I date African American, and African Girls who don’t date outside of our race; but I don’t discriminate against either, both hav dark & medium lite girls have their own beauty which can’t hide from my eyes.

    the last thing I want is to find a girl who could have the low class, betrayal of her people to judge her own by the color of their skin. If I fell in luv wth a girl like that, that would immediatlely make me fall right back out.

    Not one of us should ever allow him or in anyone of us back into our pockets & lives…

    It is that Ugly.

    ok… hold on now… Why the EFF do we care about the skin color that Omarion’s Ugly self prefers? I’m sorry but his whiny voice makes me want to hurl and he walks around like he has something to say when it really is NOTHING… I mean how do you call yourself a black person if you don’t have love for the beauty in all black people. If we rewind to sixty years ago, he aint passing no brown paper bag test himself. All i have to say is the preference of a light skinned female for any black male an insecurity which they place upon themselves because they want WHITE characteristics in their children, feeling that they should be happier and more successful if they are closer to being white. Basically, if your of the economic status of Omarion, your a hypocrite of yourself… aka self hate. That how I feel.

    “Naji11″, You talkin’ some BULLS**T!!!… Nigga’ first of all, you need to go back and proof read your s**t, cuz’ not only does all that s**t not make sense grammatically, but all that ‘philosophical HORSES**T’ you tryin’ ta’ spit don’t make you sound smart nor righteous neither! It just makes you seem like a “grammatically inapt hypocrite”!!! — ‘Bout you only date “African Americans, and African girls that don’t date outside their race”!?!… Right there you just made yourself no different than Omarion!?! And then you go and talk s**t about him!?!? — Nigga, you stupid???… “O” gots a preferrence! Just like you got a preferrence with your ‘black girls that don’t date outside their race!’ … Everyone gots a preferrence, dude!…, EVERYONE!!! And the thing about preferrence, likes & dislikes, is that in them, some poor mothaf**kers seem to get left out!!! — Ain’t that a b***h? But it’s life! — You can’t like and please everybody!?!… And if in that people wanna call it discrimination, so be it! But the subject of preferrence is a subjective one! Hence, slogans such as “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”, or ” one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”!… Now, some of ya’ll wanna try to get all “Sigmund Freud” like, and start psychoanaylsing s**t (like dude, here), and say things like “he has a problem accepting himself”; or “Self-hate”; or “He wants his kids to look more white” — Whatever!… Can it just not be that Omarion likes just what-the-f**k he likes!?! — A trait we ALL seem to share!?! A Verb we all surcome to!?! (*for ‘dem ignorant mothaf**kers that don’t know, but the verb i’m talking about is the word “prefer”)… ‘Cuz lets face it, we all have preferrences!… But for me, I think there’s even a bigger problem!?! Because with all those that have a problem with “O” liking lighter-shinned women, ya’ll are indirectly implying that light-shinned women aren’t “black” enough!?! Now, thats just as bad as the reverse!!!… Its the same “self-hate” as some of ya’ll wanna call it! Measuring one to the standard of the other!… None of ya’ll are no better!… We all need to remember that none of us chose our parents, nor our race, nor what p***y we came out of!!!…… Maybe ya’ll need to think about that for a bit?!?…

    That’s his choice. And it’s my choice not to buy his cd’s, like I choose not to buy Chris Brown’s.
    We do have the power to make these people eat their words. There are many other cd’s to buy. it’s tragic that he would put that on his Twitter account. It’s nice to know just where these people are coming from. If that’s his opinion, him depending on the public for his leaving, he should keep it to himself.

    Who cares if he likes dark skinned or light skinned, we all have our preference and are entitled to it. I like me some light toned men too, but if he don’t look like he has any ethnicity (meaning black) in him, I will seriously wonder lol…My mom and sister are light, but we part Indian so it is a grab bag what shade of brown our children will come out lol. It is all good, I love my race we get so many beautiful tonal values.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/BreBuffalo/ BreBuffalo

    Who cares??????
    people are people in my book.

    HOWEVER, Omarrion’s ex wife was stripper?!??!!? She looks Hispanic/Black/Creole mix but a stripper…how hard is it to get a stripper.Kinda of lowballing there in the picking dept.

    That girl Jennifer Freeman is mixed looking.What does she do?

    Blacks need to get away from the light-skinned, dark-skinned, good hair, balck hair thing.
    Looks by color complexion either way can only get you no where in life. No where.
    You do not get a job oranything based on color of skin.Grow up.
    For What It Is Worth,ummmm Omarrion looks 100% Black American and his mother looks 100% Black American.She is NOT light in complexion. What is considered light in complexion is Halle Berry, Mariah Carey,Alicia Keyes at least where I come from.
    If Omarrion’s mom is light skinned,then I must look like Christina Auglierra! LOL!!!
    I amseveralshades lighter than Omarions Balck,dark mom.

    Light skinned people are pretty.Dark skinned people are pretty. Both.

    Depends really on the person.
    Whitney Houston- dark complexion used to be really pretty when she young before drugs ruined her looks and voice.

    Michelle Obama is really pretty.Smart. Pretty. Eyes.Teeth.Brows. Arms. Solid,tall body build.
    Can wear clothes for tall people and wearsleevless dresses and gowns. Pretty and pretty even before the election.

    Raven Simone (actress) and Tyra Banks(Supermodel)- Black Americans, are medium in complexion,very pretty.

    Rev Run’swife and daughters- BlackAmerican looking all the way, are very pretty.

    Juanita Jordan (mixed looking when she was younger) and Shannie O’Neal-Black Americans are cute.Wholesome looking.Natural.Regular looking.Attractive,thus pretty.

    White,Black,Asian,Mixed, Hispanic,pretty comes in differetn and depends onthe person.
    Skin color complexion has NOTHING to do with pretty.

    i missed the memo because i never knew that dude had been married. every person has a preference as far as dating. i’m light, but i have a dark skinned husband. i prefer men that are dark to blue black, but u better believe that lenny kravitz could get it-lol. there is a way to express your preference without sounding ignorant and offensive. of course, mr. boy band managed to do both.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/truthserumX/ truthserumX

    The same ignorance that some Black men have about dating white women is the exact same ignorance they have about dating light-skinned women. Being one of the lightest Black women you’ll ever see, LOL, unfortunately I come across this sh*t all the time. Some Black men approach me, without saying it directly, because I remind them of a “white woman.” Let my mouth get to running when I realize this and my words will cut ya soul to shreds cause b*tch I’m a sista! But, back to the subject, these men who “only date light skin” are just on their way to only dating outside their race. It is a form of self hate and if you notice it happens mainly with dark skinned men. You see a few light skin brothas doing this but it is ramped in darker complexion men and especially, especially in the south. Hmmmmmmmm, coincidence? I think not. Most still have that “Im a n****r and white is right” mentality. Omarion is a fool. You should date a person for who they are, looks will only get you so far. Dark, Brown, Caramel, Light baby I love them all, just be a real man!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/BreBuffalo/ BreBuffalo

    I live in the West. I am from the South.
    I mean in looks getting you no where is that it cannot get hired or fired.Credentials and job performance can. Oh ,lets hire this Black girl who is not qualified, but very light skinned over a Black darker qaulified girl…NOT!!! Lighty can’t do the job.
    You need morethan a skin color.
    Also,Omarrion and his mother are not light in color complexion at all. They are medium-dark brown color in complexion, with coarse hair, and look like the Black Americans they are and there is nothig wrong with that.
    When I hear of light color in complexion, I think of Mariah Carey, Alicia Keyes.

    Well his mom is light skinned and most guys like females who remind them of their mom but that’s one reason why I don’t care for african american guys b/c when I was coming up in school they all dated either the white girls or light skinned girl only a small percentage was with a brownskinned or darker skinned girl african american men suck.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Nightowl358/ Nightowl358

    So he dates light skinned girls only because they remind him of his mom? Does he secretly want to f*** his mom?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/BreBuffalo/ BreBuffalo

    His mom is NOT light in skin complexion. She is medium brown. She has corase hair. They have Negroid features. They do not have Caucasion or Asian features. Negroid is not a bad word.
    They both look 100% Black American.
    I am considered dark by my ethnic group and I am several shades lighter than his mom and with bi-racial features.
    Why must Black not accept their skintone,hair texture. You look like what you look like and so what.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/mzgoldy/ mzgoldy

    ok he said he’s naturally attracted to light skin women but he’s had black (hopefully that means darkskinned) girl friends

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/TakenStepsForward/ TakenStepsForward

    lol he had black gf, dumb mufu, all ur girlfriends are black, just different shades! From what i see his mom is not all that light skinned, and kyla pratt isn’t either!! Everyone has their prefence, its said that what bring majority of these darker skinned chicks down, because of things like this. I hope their not stupid enough let one person opinion matters, “Black is Beautiful” and as we know “black” comes in all shades!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/TakenStepsForward/ TakenStepsForward

    Almost every blog on her is turned into a race thing. Damn people…….. it just shows the mind frame of majority of “blacks.” Now im starting to believe the guy who says “blacks are depressed.” Some of these blogs do not have to be about a man and his cheating or dating prefrence and the script still going to get flipped. Our people need learn how to love theirselves, no matter how you look without ((((CONFIDENCE))) you’re nothing no matter if your beautiful or not!! SMDH!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Mamawalde/ Mamawalde

    Negroes find the oddest things to be upset about. I’ve said it a million times, if you don’t fit what somebody else wants, why is that their problem? It’s just like applying for a job. Just because you might not get the job doesn’t mean you’re not qualified, just that the other canidate was more qualified than you.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/iamtruelove1111/ iamtruelove1111

    Well to sum it up, Maybe his target audience and music fans should be light skinned women.

    See you people have to realize that the true person is coming out of all the famous people because of how music is going.

    TakenStepsForward- What a response. Let me guess the guy who said that was white or a blk oreo? Those people dont know blk folks well be for real. another thing, maybe that’s the topic because it’s a huge issue in the blk community. Hello, have you thought of that? Another thing this website is called blk planet, did you forget most of it would be about blk people? Did you forget that blk people still face race issues or are you an oreo who just forgot? This is reality and you might wanna turn the chanel if your not comfortable.

    Like before maybe his fans should only be the one’s he would date. I’m lighter then him but that was a stupid response when your in a business surrounded by lots of women. He just messsed up his record sells. Much love to the drk skin people cause some of yall be beautiful.

    Blk Love 100%, yeah!

Damn, it doesn’t matter the shade, black is beautiful. Where the hell is it written that you must restrict yourself to one or the other? Stop hating the skin you are in and get the fu*k over it.

Does that make me a bad person? No. Thats a preference! That type reminds of me my dad. Its called Oedipus Complex for men and Reverse Oedipal Complex for women. And his mom isn’t dark skinned so stop trying to make something out of nothing HB!

    Its called Oedipus Complex for men and Reverse Oedipal Complex for women.

    Well observed.

    Also known as the Electra complex (women)… come on guys read up on your Freud. And also think of the mysterious manner of attraction. I like all types of guy.. but particularly dark haired, hazel brown-eyed, tall… you know… does this make me racist, eye-ist, and height-ist? Hmm…. I don’t think so… All I can say is I wish Omarion would date me… xD

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ANewMeNY/ ANewMeNY

    People keep saying “oh it shouldn’t matter who he likes” and “who cares if he likes lightskinned”…ummm you people don’t realize that he’s famous and in the spotlight and will have many other young guys thinking the same way, so to a certain extent, we should care. Also, you will have many young darkskinned girls feeling insecure about themselves because they know he wouldn’t even look at them simply because they’re darksinned. He’s not just some joe schmo on the corner, he’s a celebrity and there are many other black men who think like him. So to the dark skinned women who say “who cares, i like all shades”…while you may like all shades, besta believe they don’t like your shade and ain’t thinking about you…just look around you and see who they have on their arms…

    Don’t get swayed by the bs about his mother being light skinned. Has nothing to do with it. It’s a black American thing. The only difference here is that he openly admitted it. The truth is many, many men (and women) feel that way. Most have just learned to hide theirtrue opinion because so many folks get mad. I find it hilarious when people call a guy ignorant for expressing a penchant for light skinned women and then say, “oh, not me. I like a dark skinned, chocolate sista.” lol. They don’t see that it’s just as “ignorant.” What’s the difference? It’s ALL preference.Personally, I think folks should lighten up (no pun intended). If a person likes light skin or whatever, that should be their business.The only reason people get upset is because they feel their toes stepped on. Same as if someone expresses an affinity for slim women. All the heavy sistas start banging their keyboards.lol.There’s really nothing wrong with any of it. Same as when women express a dislike for short men. Why is that right, but a guy’s dislike for fat (something they at least have the ability to change) is frowned upon? It’s just hypocrisy.
