Agreed......however, this isn't about white anything.
According to the callers to the radio show about this subject, this is strictly a black thing. Again, according to the callers I heard, it dates back to the brighter / farrier skin slaves getting to work in the big house while darker skin slaves tolled away in the fields.
In the 80's, it was often referred to as good hair vs. bad hair.
More recently, according to one black caller, a good deal of all this is attributed to, Drake......who is pretty, whines as he sings and overall is considered soft.
If you twitter, search out the following hashtag: #LightskinVsDarkskin
You will find tweets and
video from black individuals using this slang / term a great deal......just not sports related.
Why am I even asking???
It was a topic that I wasn't aware about and really surprised when it discussed on sports radio. I'm just curious if this is more a East Coast / West Coast thing or just something practiced by a few???
