I don't like to sound preachy and I'm sure you love your kids. But why have kids with someone who doesn't think enough of you to marry you? These men knock us up then go marry someone else for any number of stupid reasons. Black women get screwed over because they allow men to do so. Don't be a fool. Education has nothing to do with it. All black men are colorstruck no matter how far in school they went. Sisters have to stop this nonsense. I don’t like to sound preachy and I’m sure you love your kids.

I had two children with my ex who refused to marry me for years despite dating me and wanting me to live with him but refusing marriage. We have two children, both with light skin. We're both brown skinned people. He recently married another woman---a really masculine looking woman who is mixed. He said to me once "you're just mad at me because I got me a light skinned woman now." My mother told me to stay away from uneducated black men but I didn't listen. So I get this. Anyway...when I'm out with my children I always get the same questions--"whose kids are those?" When I tell them they're mine, most people will remark at how pretty they are, then follow it up by saying "they don't look like you," or "they're light skinned." I know the reason I'm not married is because I'm brown and it hurts me to the core because some men will not even get the chance to get to know me because I don't have light skin or green eyes or "good" hair.It's madness!

Being a black male from the south (Texas), i feel its my duty to correct this common misconception. Those broke black men dont like “thick” chicks they like “thuck” chicks, theres a big difference. Thick dosent mean you fat or over weight. It means that you have a certain shape coke bottle shape. i.e. a rotund behind, large rack (in some cases), and full/athletic thighs and a small waist with a flat stomach.

p.s. “thuck” means thick as a truck, overweight, etc

My grandfather passed for White and, thus, attained a high-paying job - one that virtually no African-American would, at the time, even DREAM of obtaining. He married my grandmother, a Brown-skinned woman, and had lighter children. His son (my father) married a Brown-skinned woman, but my sister and I came out extremely light-skinned...you just never know. BTW my sister has freckles and red hair (after inheriting my grandfather's irish genes. LOL)Peace! =] @Dom,

Your offer has the attributes of an underlying desire. It is similar to saying, "Show up completely naked at my house so that we can, in a totally platonic manner, discuss the emotional hardships you've endured."hahahaa! :) @Dorian G.,

I don't know why people go friggin nuts over dimples! I'm not expressing this due to even a hint of jealousy - I, myself have dimples (as do many of my relateives). However, when I constantly see people make a big deal regarding dimples, I just think, 'Are you serious?!' @GOODENess,

Beautiful is beautiful and fugly is fugly, NO MATTER HOW YOU CUT IT. I am a beautiful brown skinned young lady, and can attest to being passed over because I was not "light enough". However, I can also attest to the "you're pretty for a brown skinned girl" phenomena. My only response is, "Men, please grow the freak up and hug yourself". I think skin tone is overrated.

TRAVEL...it will do you good. the one drop rule is sad, but lately i had over 15 friends get married since college majority of them dark skinned women, 12 of the husbands white men and 3 hispanic. so not all white people are going for light skin women. plus whenever i visit friends in france, london, seoul or tokyo they want to stay there because dark skin women are in. especially france..i walked through the airport and looking at magazine covers would have though i was in africa, belize or panama.
