: MediaTakeOut.com received the following report from one of our faithful readers. We can't certify that it's 100% accurate - but we can say that Omarion MYSTERIOUSLY deleted his Twitter account yesterday.
Here's what she said:
I'm so upset with this loop alien head lame a*s Omarion on his twitter a fan asked why he only spoke to models and light skin women and he says "oh because my mom is light skin." Are you f*cking kiddin me.Well said Ma!!!So I have to bleach my skin for you to notice me on twitter but I bet you notice me when I buy your damn next album which is a negative.
I loved omarion sinse 2001, I was behind every step of the way of his solo career and now he's picking favorite fans cause they're light skin.
When will these damn n*ggas see more then skin f*cking deep. Nigg*s get money and forget about the beautiful chocolate smooth skin mamas.
Well OMARION f*ck you let's see who buys your cd now.
The color issue needs to cease. It is getting trite and aggravating. There is ALWAYS going to be igorant folks who are color stuck and it is just pitiful. Ugly comes in all skin tones and races, so does beauty. Not only that, but if you are Black, you are still Black, regardless of skintone,hair texture or eyecolor.
All black women read up:
"When will these *** n*ggas see more then skin f*cking deep. Nigg*s get money and forget about the beautiful chocolate smooth skin mamas.
Well OMARION f*ck you let's see who buys your cd now."
I agree. These celebs can feel how they want. It's their life. Just like, I don't have to buy products by black male singers, rappers, actors, etc. It's my choice. Support all black people to receive support. AND his mom is brown skinned.
ninja please!!! First of all im light skinned and I would go celibate b4 I let this balljuggler anywhere near me, fruitcake as* nikkah!! 2nd, ummm yo mama aint exactly light skinned dumb ***!! Any1, man or woman, who makes a statement like this got alot of soul searching to do. Find out wut u dont like about yoself b4 u go trying 2 date ANYbody punk!
HOT *** HO HERE WE GO AGAIN..WHAT A LAME AZZ REASON FOR HIS IGNORANCE..LOOKING LIKE A BROKE ***. WHY BLACK MEN, CERTAIN BLACK MEN, MAKE THIS STUPID AZZ, OUTDATED, CLAIM IS BEYOND ME. THIS NUKKA HAS THE AUDACITY TO BE OPENLY PREFERENTIAL WHICH MEANS HE HAS NO PROBLEM EXCLUDING HIS FANS WHO DON'T FIT THE SO-CALLED LIGHT SKINNED MODE THAT HE LIKES? I SAY THIS, ALL THE PRETTY CHOCOLATE SISTERS AND THE LIGHT SKIN ONES WHO HAVE THE INTELLIGENCE TO REALIZE THAT THIS ISN'T A POSITIVE FOR THEM, SHOULD NOT SPEND A GREEN DOLLAR FOR THIS IDIOTS LIFESTYLE..NUKKA WEARING HIS HAIR LIKE A BROKE BEE GEE
It's his preference, just versed wrong. There are men look for women that have physical characteristics like their mother. Most of my cousins are married to 'red' brick houses, no lie. I visually prefer men who resemble the most handsome guy to me, my grandad: tall, chocolate and dressed to impress. Yet I don't discriminate against my lighter hued brothers.
If this true, good for him, I wasnt expectin much more intelligence, he is not even considerin all the dark skinned ppl buyin his *** music. Those kids need to go to school because it seems that there is a big lack of knowlegde and it's a *** shame. Before being light skinned, you gotta have a black blood anyway, light skinned or dark, you are still considered as a black. A shame that even in our community there is a war of skins, SMH...
I bet the girl or guy whatever always defendin light skins here will make an appearance spreadin the ignorance once again. SMH
If that is his preference, then fine. MOST of us have preferences but if he belittles and dismisses dark skin tones, while elevating light skinned ones, then he has ISSUES and it is just sad. I NEVER comprehend how people can hate or demean certain skintones. I have a thing for dark skinned men, but I will still date any guy regardless of skin tone. White, Red,Yellow,Blue,Brown, Black. It is whatever. I won't limit my chance on love or even a date, for a trivial matter such as skintone.
Why are we so color struck????? Doesnt' matter how light or dark you are you still BLACK. Funny mofo's got casted out of Africa for being light, or had light eyes. They looked at it as a form of leporacy, or you had the devil in you. Ahhhhh ancient times..........We as black ppl. come in 16 shades as well as fine silky hair to curly coarse hair. Still black......
Why is it that black men don't date black women? Why do we have to be light skinned? Dark skin is beautiful! I never bought a album but if they not into us then I won't support they music I refuse to feel inferior because I was not born with light skin I am 100% black and proud my hair is nappy until I perm it and I look good if one man don't want it someone better does! *** Omarion! And *** these negros that think like him!
Well that's his preference....
We have so much self hate within our own race of black ppl and black latino ppl as well that it's sickening to me!
All that smack about light skin chics are hotter, sexier blah blah blah is BS cause Im not a light skin chic and Im a bad *** female and whoever thinks otherwise in the minority w./ their opinion & have a right to it but it phases me @ ZERO %
**if you notice though, light skin ppl usually are attracted to darker skin ppl and vice versa.... it could just be opposites attarct**
oh well. whatcha expect? most black men prefer any color woman but a black one. and if she is black she's gotta be light and or exotic looking. thats what theyre seein in videos while growin up. its a fantasy that they want. im so very surprised that i still get any type of attention from black men at all....seriously. cuz im black and i luv it:D
Thats just like women That say only date Tall men, You like what you like. You don't have to explain why you like it.
Why is everyone upset, thats that mans choice. This fan acts like she was next on his list. He was never going to date her.
And for the Woman up that said Black men are weak and you only deal with white men. You have it backwards. It takes a strong black woemn to find that strong black man. Birds of a feather flock together, So if you attract weak black men then you are a weak black women.
Black is Black, No matter the shade. That's how white people see us.
P.S. HIS MOMMA DON'T LOOK LIGHT-SKINNED TO ME!!!!
AND I PEEPED HOW HE TRIED TO SAY THA OPPOSITE OF YUNG BERG, SINCE YUNG BERG'S MOMMA IS DARK-SKINNED...THOUGHT HE'D BE MORE ACCEPTED FOR HIS ANSWER BY SAYIN HIS MOMMA IS LIGHT-SKINNED......BUT THIS MOFOE WOULD BE THA FIRST ONE TO SAY THEY BLACK IF HE WERE ASKED...HOW YOU GONNA BE BLACK AND DISCRIMINATE AGAINST YO OWN PEOPLE....BLACK PEOPLE IS THA ONLY RACE THAT DOES THAT....I'VE NEVER HEARD A LATINO SAY THAT HE ONLY LIKE LIGHT-SKINNED LATINA'S, CUZ THEY JUST LIKE BLACK FOLKS COME IN DIFFERENT COLORS....BUT THIS IS WHAT YOU DID TO US "AMERICA"!!
Why is everyone giving him *** about this. It's a preference not a prejudice. I'm not a mulit-millionaire but I prefer light skinned men...light skinned men with light eyes to be exact. That's why they make cadillacs and Jettas cause veryone's taste is different. I think that darker skinned women are super sensitive to color issues because for so long we were told black isn't beautiful. That doesn't mean this man is prejudice. Most people date people that remi nd them of their parents. I date men who seem to act like my dad but I wouldn't date someone as dark as my dad. My Mom is really light
AS AN ENTERTAINER HE WAS VERY STUPID TO MAKE THAT COMMENT,IF AND WHEN HE DOES ANYTHING RELEVENT AGAIN HE WILL FEEL THE COLD SHOULDER FROM THOSE PREVIOUS FANS THAT ARE DARK SKINNED.WETHER HIS PREFERRENCE OR SELF HATE THATS HIS CHOICE, BUT HE SHOULD HAVE KEPT THAT TO HIMSELF.OMARION YOU CAN'T SAY EVERYTHING YOU FEEL OUT LOUD SOME THINGS ARE BETTER LEFT UNSAID.
any sister who says something stupid like "Black men R weak" is a poor example of a Black woman.
this is the exact reason Y we as a race R divided 2 this day, I'd like 2 take this time & quote Laurence Fishburne in a scene from one of his finest movies....
W[SPAM]KE UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP!!!!!!!!!!!
SMGDH @ My People
Well first off, how do you know it was his OFFICIAL Twitter page? If it just disappeared it may have been a fake.
And there are alot of guys who pick girls that remind them of their moms in a sense.
And personally, my preference is caramel and cinnamon tones, but i have dated both lighter and darker. Its just preference. When its real and substantial it becomes about whats inside. Alot of people end up with someone totally different than what they expected to b with anyways.
How can you blame him??? he got banged by Chris Stokes..lol
All the little B2K and Immature boys are weirdo's, Chris was tapping that a$$..
You see he dressed the boys like girls and dressed the girls like boys (Dame 4, Gyrl)..
Someone should send O the memo that he and his mother are both considered Dark Skinned..
teenz you are pretty as hell. dont lie and say you dont get any attention cause i can see you do :)
hey miss good. you saw what i asked that thing last *** right? LOL
@ topic. its his choice to like who he likes. BUT he is an entertainer and he should have kept that to himself. he didnt say darkier skinned women were ugly. he just said he preferd lighter skinned women. remember when he dated kyla pratt? she wasnt light either.
first and foremost it isn't just bruthas doing this. This problem is a male and female issue.
Secondly, I am a social activist and despise such foolishness but for some reason I don't see it as he is trying to dis our chocolate sistas. I think that most men subconsciously go for sistas whom favor their mothers whether dark or light skinned.
if he brought his mother into the equation then this brutha is on that level. Now publicly spouting that out his preference of someone who fit his mothers tone, brings his tact of voicing how he feels under fire.
***!!!! Don't everybody have a right to have a personal preference? I like tall women, so does that mean *** women are going to give me hell? It was a sort of lame response by O, and the skin color issue is a sensitive one. But ***!!!! Get over it!!! If you see him only with like skin women, then you already know what his preference is, so why ask? Plus, is there really a "good" answer to that question?
LOL! if it's true than shame on him. It's ok to have a preference but i see that is always the excuse for some dudes to cover up their self-hate. I could really care less anyways since i've never had issues getting men of any race. I've come to the conclusion that many black men will always think that lighter/white is better only because to them thats more beautiful. Just do you!
@crystal
You are one of the few people on here making sense.
For 1: This is totally FAKE OMARION STILL HAS HIS TWITTER PAGE
2. Even if he does like light skinned women it's his preference
3. Black women have been sayin the same thing with light skinned men
4. IT'S A FAKE and we have NO PROOF HE EVEN WROTE THAT.
5. ANYONE WHO BELIEVES ALL THE READ ON MTO NEEDS THEIR HEAD EXAMINED
well everybody had a preference but some ppl tak it to far some people wont even date u if ur dark skinned and u can be pretty but it dont matter b/c youre not light enough... well @ least he came out with it if u look in the hiphop industry and the reggaeton industry all u see is light skinned women in the videos and movies because thats considered 2 be more prettier but it *** matter the skin color if that person makes u happy then do u but omarion is so dumb his mom isnt even light skinned lol but that just shows u how ignorant some of these black ppl can be
I am so sick of this light skinned-darked skinned ***. I am light skinned and married to a beautiful, hardworking, intelligent, successful dark skinned man. Iam more attracted to darker men. People don't understand the science behind that, opposites usually attract. You will usual be attracted to your unalike. You are drawn to their energy. I have dark skinned sisters, neices and nephews. I am sick of "America" making them think something is wrong with that. In reality, dark skinned people were raped less than light skinned people. They are more pure, more original. I love all my black people
Whatever happened to people's individual tastes and preferences. now i personally think that all Black women are beautiful in their own little way but we have to get over this light/dark mess, are women's egos that big that it could be bruised by an effeminized male. from this females comments I didn't get he hates darker skin women.
So what if thats what he likes...we all got prefrences i just feel sad for the lil chick that gt her feelings hurt.these lil bubble gum artist have die hard fans who support them to the death.they need to b concious of tha things they do *** say.i hate bow wow but he shows luv to alll his fans.that much is true.
LOL! yesimbetter i just dont see the big whoop. if it is real, he didnt diss any darker skinned women. its like what soap_box said. some people want others that resemble their mother. no biggie. if he only light skinned women just because of the skin tone then THAT is a problem. i do agree that there is a problem with tones in our coummity, BUT i dont think we should jump on him just cause of that one statement. ive heard women PLENTY of times say they only date tall me, or light skinned men or chocolate brothers. no problem there.
wow no he didn't just non-chalantly just blurt that out...dang O u gon loose the lil bit of sales that u do have with this one...*** the dark-skinned women will NEVER forget that u said this...smh...that wzn't too cool...dang ppl just don't know when to *** THE EFF UP *** KEEP THAT TO URSELF...we all got effed up tht's but keep that ish to urself if u know ur gonna offend ppl
mscrystalclear Flag post Shilee latinos do it. darker skinned dominicans go through that too. so do people from panama. --------------- expose yourself......
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Do you mean the color-struck thing??? If so, I didn't know that.
If Omarion said this it makes him a simple, self-centered idiot. Not because he has a preference to date women with light-skin, but because he is allowing his personal preference to impact how he treats others. You can speak and be polite to people you do not have a personal interest in.
As an entertainer he should know this. 95% of an entertainer’s success is how they connect and appeal to their fans. How they behave in private is their business. Now he has about 80% of his fan base mad at him. Way to go O!
Aw hell, here we go AGAIN with this light skin/dark skin mess! When will it ever end?!?!?!
Anyways, his mom is more of a light brown to me, which is a pretty skin tone, as well as all shades of black! I'm not gonna get mad at him and call him names, because that's his preference. He's not the only man to prefer light skinned women, so what?? There's also still a bunch of men out here who still likes brown to darker skinned women...I hope no one took offense to this story!
I'm sick of da light skin dark skin ***. Its getting old and pointless 2 talk about its mighty *** funny when a dark female says they dont date a dark dude its cool but when da tables turn these black *** broads raise all amounts of hell. I firmly believe a good number of dark women have low self esteem. Omarion wit his pillow biting *** is entitled 2 his prefrence. Its not on him 2 make all dark women feel good about themselves. Its called self-esteem 4 a reason. In closing i would like 2 say all u sensitive *** dark-butts need 2 lighten up.(no pun intended)
@StrongVirgo
I feel you on that Strong Family Vibe, Becuase I come from one. Your choice of who you date should not matter to me. As long as your happy. I will agree that there are a *** of Good Black men around. I have a beautiful Queen That I treat as such. She is as strong as I am, and when you find that There's nothing better.
More Strong Black Families in 2009
Its a shame people are not aware of our history and slavery. They hated us for our UNIQUE features... fast forward to present day... we are still hating ourselves...mannnnn i bet slave masters didnt know they would do a double whammy on us like. Man blk people quit being so ignorant...and even if you feel that way.Like the golden rule say... if you cant say anything nice.. dont say anything at all. I bet when some white folks see how ignorant some of us black folks are.. i bet they say... man... those are so ignorant..n*ggas. SMMFH
Tika90 yeah! you didnt know that?! alot of domi girls that are darker skinned get played off and "not as pretty" as the lighter skinned ones! some of them arent even considerd hispanic. the same thing with people from panama. you could have lived their your WHOLE life and ONLY speak spanish and other lantios will STILL say that panamians arent hispanic. its crazy *** heck. some of my fam goes through it all the time.
Who cares ?????
For real, most black men if not all think like him anyway.... SO PLEASE DONT ACT AS IF YOU WERE ALL SHOCKED OR OUTRAGED BY THAT!!!!
I dont get how his mom is beautiful and his brother and him are s[SPAM]ooooooooo UGLY
Anyway, everybody has a preference and my preference is NO LAME ***, IGNORANT, PREJUDICED IDIOT
ONCE AGAIN I ENTER THE WORLD OF PERFECT MTO WEB HEADS........PLEASE GIVE ME A *** BREAK!!!!!!!! YALL MOFS'S ON HERE BELIEVE EVERYTHING YALL READ AND HEAR LIKE NAIVE *** KIDS OR SOMETHING,IS ANYBODY ON THIS SITE ACTUALLY AN ADULT,THEN AGAIN I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT BECAUSE MY 13 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER HAS MORE SINCE THAN MOST OF YALL ON HERE!!!!!

QUIT CAUSING THIS UNNESSARY RUCKUS!!!! ut the reproaches against Chris Brown.
Oh I forgot, eventhough his preference is for light skinned women, it's still silly of him not to talk to or acknowledge dark skinned women!! Whoa...but hey, that's him! I don't consider him to be any loss to me!
She also had a GOOD point about not buying his cds, and whether he would notice her then!..lol
WHO *** CARES HE LIKES BOW WOW LOL....HE'S LIGHT SKINNED...
FOR EXAMPLE:IF MEAGAN GOOD (WHO IS BROWN-CHOCOLATE SKINNED) CAME UP TO HIM AND ASK HIM OUT ON A DATE...HE WOULDNT GO OUT WIT HER..CUZ SHE'S DARK SKINNED??.............
IM STARTING TO THINK HAVING A PREFRENCE IS STUPID..PPL NEED TO DATE OUT OF ONE SKIN TONE...I USED TO BE LIKE THAT BUT I FINALLY REALIZED THAT ALL SKIN TONES ARE BEAUTIFUL..

First and foremost..who ever gave a *** what Omarion's *** azz thinks of med-dark skinned women. He looks like he is one of the boyz.....and some of these comments are straight ignorant.
What a bunch of self hating dumb azzez. Lastly, anybody who hates on dark skinned PEOPLE (NOT JUST WOMEN) are stupid for the simple fact that our ancestors were prob way more darker than the darkest person you can conjure up in America. We are mixed and with these hateful comments, you might as claim to be whyte or do like Tiger woods and make up a race you self hating imbeciles.
Girl get over it everybody has their preference. And you would be a dummy to bleach your skin to get a mans attention. *** you act like you plan on dating him or something. If he don’t like you then he just doesn’t like you period. Stop crying over ish you can't control. Usually dark skinned black Americans like light skinned black Americans and vise versa. I love my dark skinned brothers and that’s my preference! If he said he only dated fat girls would you be writing MTO? I think not be happy that he likes black woman period and that he actually took the time out to write you back. There are plenty of black men who loves the chocolate sistas so why you making a fuss over this one? I guess I should write mto to complain about all the black celebrities who don’t like fat woman?
MTO is successful again!!!
THIS IS A FAKE TWITTER PAGE.
FAKE TWITTER! FAKE TWITTER! FAKE TWITTER! FAKE TWITTER!
MTO posted this story without actually doing research. Wow MTO Im surprised no one has sued u guys for defamation of character.
Using this dude as a catalyst for a subject you know will incite alot of negativity, and generate a *** of comments for you. SMH
Irresponsible journalism!!!
I was actually having a great morning until I came on this site...MTO i'm so tired of all this racial posts... I really want to see more positive things on this site... Since not being on MTO for about a week I'M REALLY starting to love people for who the are...I love every F.U.C.***.I.***.G skin color... I'm a light skin black woman but seriously mto ***' mto readers who give a f.u.c.*** about what this dude think...Truth is dark skin women r 1 of most beautiful women on EARTH...MY MOM is dark skin ***' she's gorgeous...
i didn't know omarion liked women?........mmmmm.......omarion just hate what he sees in the mirror....I think alot of black men do. I mean you hear them say they want kids with good hair and then some like omarion....he is *** and ugly and you know what *** men always have to prove themselves. Black people hate themselves thats why alot of other races hate black folks!
@Misintense
Here we go again!This thread is going to attract some colorstruck fools on this thread badmouthing darkskinned women.Its stupid,white people will always consider us black regardless of our skin color.
--------------------
I CAN TELL YOU THAT WHITE PEOPLE PREFER LIGHT SKINNED BLACKS FOR SURE
They will always prefer the black person with less-prominent black features and curlier hair, which is natural since as human beings , we like what looks the most like us
We live in a white man world , that is how things are
First – That is HIS LOST to judge a person for the color of their skin. You can’t get more stereotypic than that there. Second, dark skin women should think of it as their GAIN, to have one less immature fool to deal with. That’s the same *** mentality that our oppressors have used against us and have tricked us into using it against one another. A lot of us don’t like our own people. Omarion, some views are better left to yourself while you are in the business of making money off of the very same people you are talking about. However, in private, if you are attracted to light skin girls – that’s your prerogative. To me, it’s like men who like big “B’s” or small “B’s” , some men who like medium size women, etc. etc. etc. Everyone has a preference in who they are attracted too, sexually, etc. But I’ve seen BEAUTIFUL dark skin women and men, so I rather judge a person by the way they treat me. We are all in the black race. Remember MLK – judge a person by the content of their character, not the color of their skin.
Ok, so what is the problem??? If that is his preference then that is his preference. Duh! And the posts says he dates...DATES light skinned women. Didnt' say anything about talking to or appreciating fans, all fans. What makes this delusional girl think that just because she isn't light-skinned that that is the reason Omarion will not date her. I strongly think that even if she was light-skinned there would be a great..GREAT chance that she would make into the car to date O. Leave him alone. People are too into these "stars" and think they can tell them who and when they can date. YOU CAN'T!
LMAO @ ChocolateDelight!!! I was about to say the same thing.
I don't know what's more hilarious: the fact that he is so lame, unimportant and desperate for some rebound attention after his break-up with Bow Wow that he is trying to generate controversy to get it, or the fact that he thinks his mom is light-skinned. LOL!!!!! White people got Black people hating themselves so much that we are so obsessed with NOT being too dark, so obsessed that nowadays if you're Eddie Murphy's complexion, you're lighter than Wesley Snipes, so you're light-skinned. When will we grow?
HOW YALL GONNA JUMP ON THE MAN IF HE ONLY LIKES LIGHT WOMAN OR NOT. MIGHT BE A LIE.
MTO LIES . CASE CLOSED ------- "Light Skin Girls are hoes where i am from, the men just pass them around and make them BABY MAMAS, then they make their baby mamas fight over them."
UHH OK. SMH. THAT SOUNDS ABOUT AS DUMB AS THE TITLE OF THIS POST
Yes, personality is most important. But, isin't physical attraction also? Don't you atually have to be attracted to the person in order to be physical with them??? Since when is it wrong to have a preference people?? If he's more attracted to a light-skinned woman, why hate? find a man who like your shade and keepm it moving; it ain't that deep...
CHOCOLATE DELIGHTS WELL SAID I CANT EVEN DO ONE OF MY FAMOUS COMMENTS ON THIS ONE CAUSE YOU DONE TOOK CHARGE...
THANK YOU!!!
BUT I WILL SAY BROTHERS SERIOUSLY THIS LIGHT SKINNED/DARK SKINNED MESS SERIOUSLY NEED TO STOP DO YOUR HISTORY 150 YEARS AFTER THE END OF SLAVERY THE SLAVE MASSA'S AND OVERSEER'S ARE STILL LAUGHING AT US FROM THERE GRAVES AND THIS IS WHAT WE'VE COME TOO....
For those who are saying that they do not believe he said it, check out their videos any chocolate women - no! Any dark women - no!
His comments do not surprise but it does make me mad when Chocolate Women support these FOOLs - WTFU My Beautiful Black Queens!
If you are not featured in their videos Fug em! Pleaeeeeez stop lining their pockets.
Let him favour who he wants.....
Preach Miss Strong Virgo! I feel you Shilee.
mscrystalclear
no, i knew he was *** cuz when u watch his videos everybody taller then him lol but no yung berg said that he dont like dark butts, and to him dark butts are anyone who is darker then him. then he went on to say some real stupid ***, but later on he said that he jus said that cuz the girls he was talkin 2 @ the radio station, kept dissin him and callin him light bright, so he jus attacked her back, from which i dont believe period!
@ MochaDLight, I was agreeing with what you were saying but then your post kinda confused me. You said
"Usually dark skinned black Americans like light skinned black Americans and vise versa."
And then right after that, you said
"I love my dark skinned brothers and that’s my preference!"
You loving dark skinned brothers isn't opposites attracting and it would make sense since you're dark skinned, so I got a bit confsed. What you mean?
“i dont understand how his prefence in women has to do with you buying his CD? how stupid are you ppl? lol youre not gonna buy his CD bc he wouldnt date you?”
Like I said before, his preference in who he chooses to date is his personal choice and business. However, if Omarion expects to be successful in moving CD units, he must cater to the fantasies of his fan base - the majority who are dark-skin women. He does not have to go as far as to date them but he has to publically conduct himself in a way that will appeal to this group in order to be successful especially since his musical talents are expendable (he’s not a Stevie Wonder). This is not about black women whining about not feeling validated by society or their lack of self-esteem. It is about strategic marketing if the fan base is turned off, they are going to shop elsewhere.
Who is the LOSER woman who sent this in? She needs to realize how pathetic and insecure and petty this makes her look!! SO WHAT if he has a preference for lighter skinned women? He has the right to have whatever preference he wants! Anyone who gets mad at him for this is insecure. Some people prefer to date dark skinned people. Some prefer to date light skinned people. If someone doesn't like you, then just move on and find someone who does!! This whole argument is stupid!
I think all of you who say, so what he has a preference, should log in to Yahoo, go to sports, hit the tennis section and read some of the blogs written about Serena Williams. It will disgust you to read how some people view one of the greatest female atheletes of all time, based on her color and size of her body. As far as Omarion goes..., I've never brought one of his CD's and at this rate probably never will - NEXT!
@StrongVirgo is that Beyonce??? ---- @Lissa That's true...they do say some terrible things about her...and people with brown complexions all together...
but at some point you just have to recognize that these ppl are stupid and not even waste your time getting upset anymore...because as much ppl talk ish about Serena...those whites love her ***...literally...and its not about being accepted by them...its just you recognize the hypocrisy at this point...
Half of them(not all) are sorry azz deadbeats anyway so who cares what they like. Omarion couldn't buy a hot black chick so he does right not to like them. They wouldn't want him anyway. Light skinned black men or men who have mostly light families go crazy for pretty round brown. Men who look at black skin all day go nuts for light skin. Megan and Gabrielle look better than a whoooooolllle lot of light skin women. Diddyis prettier than Craig Mack. Carmelo is prettier than Common. My dad left my light skin mom for a dark skinned lady. Next...
dang i didnt kno ppl were still livin in the slave days......i hear dat alot tho.....black guuys only likin light skinned girls and latinos.....beauty can come in all colors....its a shame we've been taught to hate our own color....smh.....i love my beautiful brown skin regardless and while i have a soft spot for chocolate guys.....a cute face is a cute face no matter what color it is....wen will ppl realize tthat??
This was some racist stuff,and lani3000 keep your opinions to urself especially when they are not up lifting to the black community as a whole.
I personally dont think that light-skinned looks better then dark-skinned or vice versa.i think it depends on the person and beauty is in the eye of the beholder.o its all bout what the person look perceives as beauty.
Bottomline i think all races can be beautiful.At all ages,sizes and both genders.
@ PRESICE3
I totally agree. There are several women that state they prefer dark skin men and it's fine. However when a man says he prefers light skin women, he's self hating, why is that? Omarion, didn't disrespect, demean, or downgrade dark skin black women like yung berg did. Omarion stated his preference, Yung Berg was extremely ignorant; there's a vast difference between the two. No, his mom isn't that light, but maybe that's what he considers light and if it is, so be it.
Why is anyone upset? So he has a preference. I have a lightskinned friend that prefers dark women. I also have a dark skinned friend that like them light. This story is a non-story.
BTW omarion's comment is valid. Lots of people date someone that remind them of their mom or dad whatever the case may be.
I know many women that wont date a light skinned guy because they prefer dark skinned guys.
MTO lighten up...LOL
I'm a dark skin man,I'm like Diddy's complexion.
What I'm truly only attracted to are brown skin women.Dark brown and medium brown mostly,I'll do a lil light brown if she was cool.
But no yellows or reds.I tried that when I was a lil younger,not for me.I need them brown butts.
My future wife MissDaniBaby2 is dark skin and thats 1 beautiful dark woman I wont mind losing half of all of my sh!t to.
But I'm out for now,I'mma holla.
@shilee...I agree wit you 1st of all but I think it is his preference, tha thing that I disagree wit is, why would he risk loosin more fans just to state that?? He still have some lil fans, most of them young dark-skinned, white,& latin girls & to suggest to them that they aren't even his type, that can make them feel inferior to the girl that is his type cuz they yung, they the ones buyin his music...I feel that u as an entertainer owe it 2 yo fans 2 make them all feel special since they spend their money on u & made u!!! when asked that he should've said som arbitrary S!@T, like "SMARTS"!!
Also, in the regard of him dating light skin women because his mom is light (in his eyes) and people finding fault with that; When a black man decides to date a non-black woman; don't we always counter that argument with "But your mom, is black"? So he's dating a woman in resemblance with his mother, which is something we argue about other black men not doing. Is it a problem becuse she's light??? Just asking, not trying to start no s/h/i/t...lol...just trying to understand this dynamic.

There are several women that state they prefer dark skin men and it's fine. However when a man says he prefers light skin women, he's self hating, why is that? ------------------------ Well said. These people are full of sh*t. Everyone has preferences. Light, dark, thick, thin, etc. And there is nothing with having a preference. These people are just letting their own insecurities out when they attack someone in that scenario.
I am not the least bit upset by this nonsense. Okay so he's ignorant and needs to grow up and he's letting the whole world know it, that's his problem not mine. I could care less about what he thinks about dark skinned women because I'm know I'm a beautiful dark skinned woman inside and out. Ok moving on!

some ppl are talkin bout the yung berg incident and comparin it to this. well i know that some ppl said "well its yung bergs preference" it wasn't about the preference. he was talkin mad *** bout dark skin women. i didn't see anything that omarion said bad about dark skin women, so why are some even comparin it to that and why are some of yall mad?
What's the big deal? He stated a preference without demeaning the other. I prefer Latino men. Some of us here prefer the same *** (you know who you are). Should we all be crucified? Why is this always such a huge deal for some women on this site? Find your own man.
Hey good_downsouth! It's been awhile.
No one is addressing the issue that black men have a serious mental issue about color, it's almost like an innate thing; Like they were born with it, but if black women don't educate their boys at an early age about all shades of BLACK are OK, this thinking just creeps in; Reality is black men think DARK SKIN only looks good on them (men); women who have boys, address the issue with your child as soon as they are able to talk; breed a different generation, it's about time! Rear young men that value the worth of a black woman from the darkest to the lightest
This is nothing new..look at his videos. I've never been a fan of him or the rest of the young "black" stars coming up. They have an obvious bias against people that look as if they have african ancestry. Its REALLY sad too..look at all the songs.."I wanna light skin chick with long hair" is all you hear in black music. I've been DONE with the black community for quite some time now lol
***!!!
people goin so hard on this post!!
where cares if he likes light woman?
its just a matter of taste!!!
he didnt say i hate dark hoes.... so whats the problem???
usually when your a regular dude light skin woman diss you the most!!
...so when a guy gets famous he can then pull the light skinned chicas....
so its sorta like you know your successful if you can get a light skinned bltch
..........
When will brothas learn stating your preference for light skin is not socially acceptable. Now had it been reversed, and he said he only dated dark skin women, the dynamics would have been different.
SOLUTION: keep your preferences to yourself!!!! People will figure it out when they see you dating only certain types of women. No need to verbally put it in stone.
@SexyBiFemGirl
Ha! You're a *** so your opinion isn't valid. Confused azz peasant. Dark skinned women are mad because somebody's has drilled into ppl's brains that somehow the lighter your skin is the more beautiful you are.
@kikibaby
Wat's your point in revealing that? You just mad neither white nor black men are checking for your loony azz. I'll keep you in my prayers though.
ZUITHA Flag post They all done lost thier *** mind, Nothing wrong with having a preference, but DON'T DIS US CHOCOLATE SWEET CARMEL WOMEN, LIGHT, DARK, MEDIUM, TOASTED, ALMOND WE ARE ALL BEAUTIFUL! mEN WHO PREFER LIGHT SKIN WOMEN ONLY HAVE A COMPLEX PROBLEM, BUT I AIN'T MAD, THAT'S SOMETHING THEY GOTTA GET THROUGH! ================================ are you begging?
IT's sad that it's mostly black women subjected to this type of division. That's why the friendships between black women are so strained and most dont' even like each other. Black men have done this and continue to divide them. Brothas, you must stop and keep your mouth *** on slave mentality issues. Just do you.
WELL IF IT'S TRUE, THAT'S UNFORTUNATE. I'M NOT SURPRISED BECAUSE SOMETIMES WE ARE RACIST AGAINST EACH OTHER. I AM BLACK AND PR AND ALTHOUGH MY SKIN IS VERY LIGHT AND I HAVE LONG CURLY HAIR I WAS TOLD BY A FRIEND THAT I WASN'T BLACK :O. NATURALLY I THOUGHT SHE WAS KIDDING AND COME TO FIND OUT SHE WAS DEAD SERIOUS. SHE SAID "A GUY WOULD DATE U OVER ME IN A HOT SECOND" (MEANWHILE SHE WAS ONLY 2 SHADES DARKER THEN ME). I DON'T SPEAK SPANISH SO DOES THAT MEAN I'M NOT PUERTO RICAN??
TheTRUTH555 Flag post These artists need to take a "lesson 101 on HOW NOT TO DESTROY YOUR CAREER". I'm surprised how dumb these guys are to not have the common sense to keep certain things to themselves. ========================================
Because they do not value their fanbase. They don't care if a dark skin woman buys their music or not.
OOh I hate when people say it's a preference, it's only a preference if you have dated all types, but how can color be a preference anyway? it's not a choice? it's not like choosing chocolate ice cream over vanilla; you can't change it; it's not a flavor to choose from; BLACKS are what they are, people with a variation of color in their race due to their heritage; accept it or leave it! if a black man wants to date light skin black women, he should step out of the race and date only white or non-black; Light skin women should be appreciated for who she is not what her complexion is!!
News Flash to Omarion--yo mama aint light skinned boo. & even if she was--what do that got to do w/ anything? what you tryna do, date yo mama? & for the record when has Omarion ever dated a light skinned BLACK WOMAN or black woman of any shade--or hell a WOMAN! all i ever see this n*gga doin is gettin all hugged up on other n*ggas. i been thought he was *** all day so this whole story is ***.
PREFERING TO DATE LIGHT OVER DARK OR DARK OVER LIGHT *** BE A PREFERENCE, YOU CAN'T CHANGE YOUR COLOR OR RACE; WHITE MEN SAYING THEY PREFER BLONDS OVER BRUNETTES OR REDHEADS,IS IS OK! PEOPLE CAN CHANGE HAIR COLOR, BUT SOCIETY HAS ASSOCIATED HAIR COLOR WITH PERSONALITY, SO WHITE MEN BUY INTO THAT! SO THEY THINK BLONDS HAVE MORE FUN AND RED HEADS ARE FEISTY AND SO ON...so they can say "I prefer"; BUT BLACKS CAN'T CHANGE THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN! black men associated dark skin with ugliness,their mama should have taught them better; WOMEN should not allow black men to divide them so much!
Dimples2 What else can he mean?? about he didnt mean it like that i saw exactly what he wrote on his twitter page there aint no justifyin it. he prefers like skin girls beacuse his momma's like what kind of BS.. he's wack.. carrers dead trying to get bak in there cus he got signed to young money, waste of space.
@prissy3 all skins are not the same even if you remove the pigment! even with vitiligo (loss of pigmentation) black peoples skin by far is superior, (yeah I said it) the sun loves the black skin in moderation of course if you live in North America, cause Africans and Caribbean people have the sun year round and they look fantastic even at 85, non black skin do not fair the same
GTFOH....some of ya'll chicks kill me...ya be the same chick SWEATIN this cat cuz he's lightskin with "good hair" then ya wanna get mad when he don't want you cuz you too dark. Its the same cycle of self hatred that your participate in...just the other end of it.
Then ya'll want to get all Afro-centric and grow some dreads and get an Africa medallion. But ya'll be all about lightskin/white niccas until they diss ya'll..lol....

@ prissy3, I wrote a paper on the young woman that did the study. The slavery mentality will never leave the Black community. I witness this stuff daily. Most African Americans prefer lighter skin because of the psychological wounds that they have never dealth with. See they have been healed from the "skintone scars" but not delivered. So they sub consciously cater to the lighter skin and the long "good" hair persons. If you are attractive you simly are regardless of your tone. Will we ever wake-up????
itz ok for a blkwomen to prefer whitemen itz ok for a blkwomen to sell her puzzy to only whitemen itz ok for a blkwomen to prefer tall brothaz itz ok for a blkwomen to not date broke brothaz itz ok for a blackwomen to prefer liteskinned brothaz but when we have a preference itz a dam crime all tramp trash azz sellout blk *** can eat a dicc wit *** in it ya *** azzz biatch..
If this is true its really sad. I would not discriminate on somebody based on the shade of his blackness if he is nice and has his *** in order that's what matters. Although he is young and seems to be very immature, I will try to cut him some slack. He will learn after his career is over and he goes broke that some things are more important.

MissDaniBaby2, Stop caring what them white pedophiles think.
You should only care what ya brothas think.And this brotha thinks its time you and I made love.
I wanna make love to you while listenin to the TLC-Creep instrumentals on my Ipod.
After that I wanna go out get a bucket of wings and some biscuits,then lay up beside you and watch old episodes of Martin.
Something I've realized is this. Black women cause more divise concerning skin color than black men do. Black women love to blame black men for it. But how many black women in here are saying "his mom isn't that light anyways"?
That sounds more unintelligent and divisive than what Omarion said.
I read a thread the other day where they were talking about Lauren London and Lil Wayne. And there were SO many black women debating whether or not Lauren was a redbone. WHO CARES???????
If a woman is beautiful, she's beautiful.
juslisenlx for whoever this dumb *** is, he didn't delete his twitter. he changed his username. @1Omarion dumb *** --------------- twitter.com/ijuslisen --------- I twitter too, but i don't follow Omarion. But if he changed his user name, that essential deletes the other account , right? Correct me if i'm wrong. @ topic... guys , he can date whomever he pleases and unfortunately men have preferences based on skin tone that varies from light to caramel to darker hues. However,Choosing a mate , friend, or fan solely based on skin tone, would make him equally as racist as any white kkk card carrying member, because in essence the premise behind it all is the same. Ignorance and race, based on skin color.
People who have this complex are so shallow and so 1954 and not happy within. Everytime I step out with my lighter skinned friends I get all the play because of how I look, carry myself, and have good convo. My friends have to over over do it to compensate for the qualities they lack when skin tone has failed. See, the shallow people can't see pass color to see a person for who they truly are, hence they miss out. This is another example of those "Jim Crow" behaviors that made its way out and continued to be passed down generationally causing oppressive thinking among us.
BLACK PEOPLE ASSOCIATE DARK SKIN WITH STRENGTH, AND INTELLIGENCE. THIS IS WHERE OUR ROOTS AND CULTURE COME FROM. ON THE OTHER HAND BLACK PEOPLE ASSOCIATE LIGHT SKIN BLACKS WITH THE OPPOSITE. BEING IN CLOSE RELATIONS TO WHITES...HAVING NO CULTURE, HAVING NO KNOWLEDGE OF THERE ROOTS. THEREFORE BLACK MEN THINK THAT LIGHT SKIN WOMEN ARE EASY AIR HEADS. ALTHOUGH THEY CAN BE SNOBBY AT TIMES, PLAYING HARD TO GET, BUT....THERE'RE EASY.
Whatever your preference is-is your preference...but when black men and women diss their own women that is another thing. I don't know what it is about some black men and some black women too...that when they reach fame and receive their fortune they forget where they come from. Black men and women of all shades are beautiful...but it is this bullsh*t white supremacy that makes us think that so called white is better than so called black or they try and pit dark skin against light skin...and it's looks as if those fu*kers are winning with some of us...when will the brainwashing end?????

CRAZY!
WOW, and I don't say that for the story, I say that bcuz of the comments displaying the reactions to this story. I've been quiet for awhile but have been observing since the whole Young Berg and Dark Skin women thing. Look, its ignorant all the way around! I date light, dark, brown skin women, I don have a preference when it comes to complexion or tone as long as they are of my same ethnic background but the hypocrisy and double standard is crazy in my opinion! Me being a light skinned brother, I hate to hear the phrase from our women, "I prefer dark skin men"
@Ransomed! You are so right! I've dated someone who mentioned me being darker when he's 10 times darker then I am, have the lips of a 100 year old chimp and messed up teeth! His ex girlfriend looked like a MAN, but she was light skinned! She was a Troll with no ***, ghetto as hell, but she was light skinned! After he delt with me, he started realizing that darker skinned women were beautiful as well! Yes I was darker then all of the women that he's dealt with, however I was the prettiest! I've posted a real pic of me to prove my Beauty!!
Well if its his preference than its his preference. I am a dark skinned woman in her 30's and apparently this same logic on complexion runs rampant. Its too bad because he could really miss out on a good woman who is of a darker hue but if his munchkin behind doesnt like it let them lighter sistas take him on. I crack up at these celebrities making dumb statements and they been out of the spotlight for years..LOL
