I’m finna write a whole dissertation about how #LoveIslandUSA 
https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> perpetuates the hate and prejudice darkskin black women face.
In this thread I will explain.
First, Love Island picks the islanders and I’m sure they ask what is your preference and what do you like. As you can see most men will not say they prefer dark women even BLACK MEN.
But they have to let a certain amount of diversity so they include a darkskin woman to be inclusive. It is proving more harm than good because it is telling black women who don’t meet European standards that love is harder for us to find. When it’s not.
Last season, as well the fully black couples got less screen time. But if you notice none of the white men show interest in the black girls unless they are mixed. And the black men barely give the darker black women the time day because of colorism.
I would love for it to show two non ambiguos black people be matched and in love. And they know damn well they can make that happen. They should take notes from “Are you the One?” They have shown black couples and darkskin women just as much as the other cast
I meant don’t prefer dark women in my first tweet*
But here’s to another season of the darkskin women on love island getting voted off, no screen time, and being isolated the whole time.
