LIGHT-SKINDED PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS IN STYLE. Y’all other folks’ shit fluctuates, you get a Morris Chestnut, you get a model every now and again, but we are running this shit.

For all my men who don’t believe me, I’ve got one word for you: BRAZIL.

What? Yeah, that’s right.

For all my women who don’t believe me, I’ve got one thing to say: DON’T TAKE YOUR MAN TO BRAZIL.

Psych.

Complexionism and elitism with a dash of racism…luvz it (sarcasm). Black people STILL got issues with this stuff in 2006. Over it.

Yo, TING punked you MARC!!!

And the reason Marc doesn’t want lighties in the neighborhood is because he can’t take the competition. Shades are relative. If his neighborhood is all dark-skinned people, he can be come the lightest one. If RWS rolls thru (no pun intended for those of you who know my name), its all over.
