Activist Calls Kendrick Lamar a ‘Fake Conscious Coon’ For Marrying a Light-Skinned Woman

Colorism has been and continues to be a major issue in Black America. Highly influenced by the media, colorism has led to the belief that Black women whose skin complexions are brown or chocolate are inferior to Black women whose skin complexions are tan or light.
Rashida Marie Strober, a “dark skinned activist” who promotes the beauty of Black women whose skin color is dark, has taken to Facebook to express her disappointment in rapper Kendrick Lamar’s recent engagement to his childhood lover because the bride-to-be is light skinned.
Strober posted the following message on Facebook with an image of Kendrick Lamar and his fiancée:
well, well, well would you looky here! ANOTHER FAKE CONSCIOUS MUTHER FUKER EXPOSED. I will never support him nor his music with one dime of my money and encourage all dark skinned women not to either!
After commenters lambasted her for criticizing the rapper’s taste in women, she created another post about the matter:
FAKE CONSCIOUS COON ASS RAPPER KENDRICK LAMAR PART 2.
I see calling out and exposing self hating fake black men who speak about consciousness but date and marry NON DARK SKIN WOMEN brought you haters to my page. WELL SHARE THIS MUTHERFUKING POST!!! These type of fake coons are the worst of the worst. DARK SKIN is the essence of true blackness and if these fakers were really and truly conscious they would MARRY DARK SKINNED WOMEN!!! You pissed ?? GOOD!!!
Hundreds of people left comments criticizing the activist for entertaining the painful and futile discussion about skin color. One commenter named Victoria Mackey wrote: “What an idiot. there’s several tones in Melanated skin.. You seem as if you’re angry because your skin is darker. Thats self hate whether you know it or not.. She still would be considered a Nigger in a room full of white people.” Several others supported Mackey’s comment by saying it should not matter Kendrick’s finacée’s skin color because she’s still a Black woman.
One commenter named Yomet Tyler sided with Strober’s point of view: “Even though she is being offensive we all honestly know that lighter skin is prized and glorified..don’t stoop to her level trying to figure it out..jus take it as something to think about maybe.”
Is Strober right or wrong?
I truly can’t beleive that a young lady that is supposed to be conscious would make ignorant comments like that in 2015. I thought by now EVERYONE understood why some black people are light skinned & that they most definatly are black !
She must be really insecure and must off had a Huge crush on the brother !!
Hopefully she matures and begins to read the proper material that will correct Her confused dated mental.
Seriously we who know better should prey for her ;.And those who see her point in dogging out this brother for his marital choice;based on the color of her skin ; prey for yourself & we’ll do the same.
She isn’t an “activist”. She is more of an insecure troll who is recruiting more haters to join her hate army so it will temporarily boost her ego.
All she is promoting is how ugly she is on the inside so everyone else on the outside will see it. What man in his right mind would want to date this baggage-ridden insecure low self esteemed wench?
She’s chasing her own tail. Just let her run in circles as she is lost and it’s no one’s responsibility to get her out of the loop except her own.
