Not to be racist. But that would explain something that has always struck me as odd. I have heard this from black people, generally successful black men marry women who are lighter complected then them.

Well, it probably is racist?
Everything WE say and do is racist?
I have given in and just told ‘them’ to save themselves some time and put me in the
Racist, Sexist, Homophobist, or whatever ‘ist’ suits their fancy as I will get accused of it anyway.

I have also heard that about the successful Blacks.
Guess maybe they don’t want to ‘betray’ their Race by marrying a White so they do the next best thing.....
IN a couple of generations the ‘kids’ will start to lighten up etc??????

Even as ‘young’ as I am, I remember the 2nd generation Italians of my youth were more Olive skinned and had darker hair yet the grandchildren are as light complexioned as mine.
I really can’t say a lot as I had the ‘swarthy dark Irish look - DARK hair as all my family did’ but I married a Blondish Woman and one of my kids was Dark Complected and the other Blonde - the Dark complected one married a Redhead and her daughter had/has “Fiery red hair as did her eldest son -both so light skinned they would ‘burn’ under a hot lamp’”. Their third and last son took after my side of the family and was/is dark haired and dark(er) complected...in fact the two red heads refer to him (jokingly) as ‘their Mexican Brother’
.....Kids just as cruel as they ever were.
