Does this only apply to one race and one way? Seems very narrow mindedShe’s saying that black men who are romantically involved with anyone who isn’t a “dark skinned black woman” is some sort of traitor to their race and are only doing so because they have been pushed into it by society.
Because god forbid a black man finding a white woman, or Asian woman or mixed race woman attractive.
She’s got a massive chip on her shoulder regarding mixed race relationships. I remember her going Beserk last year saying that white women weren’t allowed to say they found Stormzy is 72 years old attractive.....

She's got a massive chip in her shoulder because all of the black guys weren't fawning over her when she was a teen, she said this in the past. According to her it was because they went for lighter skinned black women,but just maybe it was because she was an attention seeking moron?
I just had a look at the source that CB was quoting and she sounds like an absolute whack. Her and CB could co host a talk show together - her doing her online tarot readings
and CB doing tiktoks - neither of them bringing anything to the table.
As a POC myself I get the sentiment, light skin is always considered beautiful and the thing to aspire to, BUT to say that black men will only find healing in committing to only taking dark skinned black women exclusively as friends, partners, baby mothers etc is not only reductive, but incredibly insulting too. Where is personal autonomy? Are dark skinned black women there for the purpose of healing black men's racial complexes? I can do better than that, thank you.
I wonder how her friend Kelechi (who is with a white guy) would view this? Or maybe it doesn't apply to women, only men?

Agree with this completely, something I’ve seen a lot of with (white mainstream girl boss) feminism is weaponising it to fulfil agendas and resentments and often it does the full loop and ends up misogynistic and nearly always classist and racist tbh.She's got a massive chip in her shoulder because all of the black guys weren't fawning over her when she was a teen, she said this in the past.

Speaking of girl boss feminism wasn’t CB mourning the loss of her free wing membership? I don’t like champagne socialist as an insult as I’ve grown into a very MC adulthood loool, but come the duck on you cannot be trying to build a platform for the marginalised like you claim, all whilst dancing for ur dinner / being the token pauper with free membership to play with the rich girls at the wing. Success for any of us isn’t partaking in the systems that disadvantage and exclude us by design, it’s dismantling them so no one else has to jump the hoops we did. She doesn’t care about the latter she just wants to post ugly yellow brick new build pics and the same shelf with 3 handbags on it.
I think she’s quite thick tbh and has the potential to cause a lot of damage, sadly for her she’s so inconsequential that’s it’ll only be damaging to her #brand in the end.
I reckon she’ll go full Katie Hopkins tbh she quite evidently will do anything for money. KH managed to shag a married man in a field on camera so I imagine CB being a madam will be forgettable as long as she’s a willing mouth piece of the right wing media they’ll take anything. Wright stuff here we come
Lurker here but I think she's alluding to the fact that a lot of black UK 'influencers' and musicians were recently (in the past couple days) exposed with resurfaced tweets which either dehumanised or were derogatory towards black women. In particular dark skinned black women. A large number of those tweets were made by black dark skinned men (whose mother's, aunts, sisters probably are similar, if not the same, in terms of skin tone to the very group of women they were insulting due to skin tone!) . Therefore raises a lot of discourse within the black community regarding the precedence of colorism and self hate.
Who are we talking about? I'm out of the loop.
Exactly this. Which is why CB said at the beginning that the post was for black people only because she was referring to colourism and the treatment of dark skinned women by their own community. Many have been made to feel 'less than' and that is well known within the community. I haven't read the essay that she referred to, I don't necessarily agree with how she put it, but I understand the context.
100% agree and understand the context, the posts in her stories make no sense tho and read more like a pitch for TV work than anything of value.
I actually get that, it is real. But I totally disagree with what Leona Nichole Black said (who CB quoted). I think it is very problematic on a number of accounts. 1) Who gets to define how dark skinned (DS) a black woman is? 2) To say that a black man is only truly healed by mixing exclusively with DS black women makes it the woman's problem to solve 3) It creates more barriers and divisions amongst the black community whilst supposedly trying to overcome this issue. 4) By default this means that dark skinned women can only be romantically or platonicly involved with black men. Surely they should have a choice?
Exactly my thoughts. I agree that it’s so disrespectful and unfair that some black men are so vocal about finding ‘light skinned/lighties’ more sexual attractive but it’s Also completely unfair to a) tarnish all black men with this way of thinking and b) all the things you’ve just said above!
Her therapist must really work for that coin. Christ!
CB make no sense a lot of times but that's what she believes makes her superior. Have you ever listened to a knowitall and thinking 'what the duck did you just say!'. No one really calls her out for fear of looking stupid. When they don't understand they just put that down to not being as smart as her. The ones that do call her out get blocked or attacked. She could never have rational discussion and acknowledge she is chatting rubbish
I need to read it. To be honest, I just didn't have the energy for it tonight.
Oh CB.. I just had a peek .. cannot stand this women 'this is for black women only' even that got my back up!!!!
she is aggressive, and she has a massive chip on her shoulder!!
All those posters 'thank you for your words'
I don't think many or her followers realise she was a pimp and exploited women for cash - how about she uses her 'platform' to raise awareness about that????

I really can’t believe she is on billboards at bus stops either right now promoting Sainsbury’s. I wonder if Mike Cope the CEO and other senior management truly know that they have an ex pimp promoting their brand? She was a pimp and nobody knows what that role really entailed? Did she exploit people? Were all the girls working for her of legal age? Was she paying taxes on the money she was making from other women having sex?Oh CB..

I don’t know how all of this has been overlooked and I really hope that people put these questions to Sainsbury’s and any other organisation that endorse her.

I have to ask why she is connecting the knife crime death of a young black man to an incident of horrific domestic violence. They seem to me very different issues, although both of course horrendous tragedies. Those poor children were murdered by their own Father, who was also BAME I believe. Wonder if she will start talking about honour based violence or coercive control. but maybe that wouldn’t fit with her narrative.
I thought the same thing, I don‘t see the link. I assumed that I had missed something.
I’ve just been to Sainsbury’s and the giant poster with her on it has finally gone. Phew!
Wait what has honour based violence got to do with that story?
It doesn’t, necessarily. Lots of men murder their children as a form of domestic violence. But honour based violence predominantly if not exclusively affects BAME people, I’ve just noticed she only really talks about issues affecting BAME individuals when someone non-BAME can be blamed for it.
Long ass caption today. I only managed to read the first couple of lines before I realised she was talking about manifesting money again.
remember guys, it’s your own fault if you’re poor. Wish harder!
