Does The Gay Community Stereotype Gay Black Men Based On The Skin Tone?
I really enjoyed this conversation because in the black community there is a problem with internalized racism. Some black people believe a person with lighter skin is better. For instance, some black men will date a lighter skinned woman because they want to be closer to a white image. Some gay black men do the exact same thing. I thought it was profound when the light skinned gay man in the video said he hated it when people told him they liked him just because he is light. He was insulted because he feels there is more to him than just his skin colour.
