Answer 3

ok, sweetie, in Trinbago every body (well almost everybody) brown skinned - different shades of brown, but brown non d less.  and if you dark and smooth.....all them men going to be drooling over you.  Love your colour, love your self.  Take off the thing on your head, and probably change your eyes to ah s**y dark brown, and you good to go. and dont study the people who dont like the color of your avatar.

Nothing looks better than a big, smooth black man, yummy. lol yeah, the one who makes you look at him twice. hehehe.

Answer 4

Nah man here we luv yuh even if blue....infact we love black it on we flag, in we ground (oil) sh it people does paint demselve black for carnival

maybe a small bunch of people may have that opinion.

Answer 5

We all know how this classifying of skin color got started.  It started during slavery when the slave masters / overseers use to rape Black slave women and when their lighter skin child was born they were slaves also, but they were treated better than the dark skin slaves.  They had different categories of slaves; the house slaves (which was lighter skinned ones), the stronger dark skin slave women/men were the slave breeders, and the puny dark skin slaves were field slaves.  The lighter skinned house slaves were taught to snare and look down on the dark skinned slaves because they were said to be ugly and unattractive.  This caused a lot of animosity among light skinned / dark skinned slaves. One class thought they were better than the other.  Instead of being proud of their original color and characteristics some were brainwashed to hate themselves / feel inferior because of the very harsh treatment they got from the massa.  Some wished they were born light skinned at that time.  Sad to say but, this same slave mentality still follow some black people today.  The type of categories black people were put in during slavery, is still going on as of today.  Just open your eyes and say it loud (like the late James Brown said) I'm Black and I'm Proud!

It's not the colour of your avatar that's ugly...It's the make-up...lol

And,  in Trinidad and Tobago...and any other country...all dark skinned people are the 'bee's knees' (so to speak) Meaning...They are 'HOT'

Answer 14

I ain't go lie to yuh, no, but at some of the club and bars they discriminate. In the '80s it used to be out in the open yuh getting blank for yuh color. Now how they doing it is by pricing us out.

It expensive to go to some clubs.

It expensive to buy drinks.

It expensive to play in carnival bands.

Yes, it out dey, but if yuh have money everybody is your friend.

Answer 15

I don't think darker skinned people are considered unattractive in Trinidad and Tobago. Both of our Ms. Universe winners are beautiful, brown skinned women. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I have seen some smooth skinned dark men that have made my mouth spring water yes!

Answer 16

one of my friends was from Jamaica and she called herself dark because she said she was the dark one in her family.  It is true that she was darker than her sister, but I dont see how that would make her ugly.  she was so beautiful, and I kept telling her this. Some guys like lighter skin girls when they are dark and some girls that are light, like darker guys...I have olive skin and I like a darker shade on a guy...but I have no preference if God should pick a light or dark guy for me...I would still love him...

your avatar is very beautiful and don't let other people's opinion affect you in a negative way.  Opinions change everyday, so base yourself on who you are inside and out... something beautiful !

here you go...
