That’s just his daddy styleOne of the funniest things in this thread is Hubert posting pics from the gym, in a thread that has nothing to do with fitness. Yet in the fitness thread he calls those who post pics/vids "egomaniacs".
Obviously it does. Nobody's even saying colorism doesn't exist. What people are saying is, if every time something a person doesn't agree with is brought up and immediately it's defined as colorism or racism as a way to dismiss what the other person is saying or invalidating their opinion, people will naturally start to push back and see these people are "pulling a card" when they can't attack your point and would rather attack your character. We can all acknowledge as black people that clearly everything is not fair, but what are you doing about it? What plans are in place?
It all makes sense nowOne of the funniest things in this thread is Hubert posting pics from the gym, in a thread that has nothing to do with fitness. Yet in the fitness thread he calls those who post pics/vids "egomaniacs".
Which is why skin bleaching is a thing in many of these former colonized areas. Some people are brainwashed into thinking that light skin =better. Look at the history of Haiti (while it was under French control) for example. Went back home for a few weeks and when I returned this chick told me I came back too dark and I should have stayed out of the sun. Keep in mind she's also black and a darker skin tone than me. Needless to say we don't deal anymore.
In regard to Samuels, I've noticed that his supporters, fans have not touched upon his predilection for married women. His supporters on here have also ignored that he is indeed a Black christian male, just like the other guy, of whom come from a belief system that holds women as second class citizens.
Since women are not here on this site in abundance, representing themselves, it is unfair to suggest how they feel about such an opportunist as Samuels. But I can say this for certain, since this is indeed NikeTalk, we know how how many of these supposed men really feel about women in general.
White supremacy is indeed the issue, but the approach that Samuels takes only enhances the power of white male supremacy. His take upon what is needed in order to improve, comes from the white christian bootstrap narrative, that is incredibly problematic.
This is what they do not want you know. They DO NOT want women on here. For Hill to be a Black woman at that? These little racist and sexist pricks on here weren't having it.
Is the OG thread available? Can any current members give their account of what happened with Ms. Hill while she was on NT? This is interesting.
FWIW:
Went to Hampton University.
On the Yard talking in a group (half male / half female).
One of the young ladies sees a darker skinned brother walk past and makes a comment.
Her friend says: "I like my men light, bright, and close to white."
This is an HBCU.
An HBCU that at one time engaged in "paper bag tests"... and later less obvious but much more dubious methods of prejudice / discrimination that continue to this day.
Colorism is defined as:
"prejudice or discrimination against individuals with a dark skin tone, typically among people of the same ethnic or racial group."
While I agree that young lady had every right to like what she liked, I in turn have every right to dislike her based on what she said.
A letter from 1928:
As my parents would say: "I don't want anyone who doesn't want me."

The discussion should then turn to her getting what she wants, on her own. It should never go to, "Well, you are fat, and that is why you do not deserve a high value man."
Yeah, I think she left cause she kept starting multiple threads about herself and cats said she was seeking attention or something like that. But pretty certain that was the case with a few of the famous people that came on NT.

Yeah, idk if I've experience colorism indirectly b/c I'm like a safe brown, but I've directly seen colorist jokes/insults chucked at light skin and dark counterparts for as long as can remember. Especially in serious arguments when personal insults get thrown. Mad uncomfortable tbh. One end is usually more prone to blatantly viewing the other skin type as bad thing in my personal experience though. I get where it comes, but it doesn't make it right.
Some of the things people back home have said to my lighter sister, I was in shock when she revealed one day.
As I remember it this is pretty much what happenedYeah, I think she left cause she kept starting multiple threads about herself and cats said she was seeking attention or something like that. But pretty certain that was the case with a few of the famous people that came on NT.
Y'all ran Khrysti Hill off NT?
I have zero idea who she is but she should come back and let me motorboat em.
As I remember it this is pretty much what happened
Joined, made a thread about herself saying hi to everyone
No one believed her so they made her show proof
And then she never STOPPED making threads about herself
There was some sneakers and thighs thread she made where she posted herself in team jordans or something
****** did not care
khrystihill
only has 20 posts over the course of a < 1 month. Two were new threads "Legs & Sneakers" (Vol 1. and 2) and the other were replies to her threads and a few others. Interesting.
Nt'ers are always asking from proof of something. Even those who who never show proof of themselves, but they want proof of everything. There are some people here that feel that they can call upon other NT'ers, to do dirty work for them as well. Help nt fam out....
But that's another story.....
the irony here!
