Kodak Black does not prefer dark skinned Black women

Recently the rapper Kodak Black went on Instagram Live and spoke of how he does not date black woman, and once those words left his mouth, the trolls began to rebel.

The topic came up when he started speaking of female celebrities that he would or wouldn't date. Most of the women were either white or mixed, then once actress KeKe Palmer came up Black said, "Keke Palmer she straight, I'll bag her, but I don't really like black girls like that,sort kinda".

It's kind of odd that the rapper with the word "black" in his name does not like black girls. Now when I saw this I did not take offense but many other people did.

I feel that people become so sensitive and double standard when something of the black descent is brought up. For example its ok for me to say "that white girl," but once a white girl says "that black girl," our heads start to turn. It's ok for me to say "I don't like white boys," but once a white girl says "I don't like black boys," its offensive.

Personally, I do not see anything wrong with Kodak Black's statement. I do think he is insecure with his color, because he glorified lighter women, but did not accept the black women. He didn't bash black women or say anything negative about black women, but merely stated his preference.

Personally, I do not like white men, am I racist because of it... no? That's my preference. Later, Black corrected himself, saying that he loves black women, just not dark skinned black women. Which goes hand in hand with his insecurities.

Kodak black explains that he doesn't like his own skin complexion, so he chooses women that are lighter than him. His reason was that darker skin women are to tough and "gutta" is the term he uses, while lighter skin are more sensitive "and can be broken down easier,"

Now that stereotype has been around for a while, that dark skin, are more tough and cold hearted, while light skin are more soft and sensitive. I don't agree that your skin color effects your emotions, because there are dake skin sensitive people and tough light skin people. But it does seem like dark skin people have had it worst being teased and made fun of, and society seems to accept light skin rather than dark, so that could have made them more tough.

To wrap this up, I don't have an issue with Black's initial statement stating his preference, but I do not agree with his secondary explanations, those statements dug his hole deeper.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
