I bet if he wasn't light skinned with light eyes people wouldn't be falling all over themselves trying to bail his ass out of prison with his six felonies. Our euro centric society kills me.
I am not sure how I feel about this. I find him attractive. I am obviously not trying to bail him out of prison. But I find people of all races and skin tones attractive. I guess I am obviously not everyone, but I just sort of feel a bit of judgement for happening to find a light skinned guy attractive.

Yup because he looks like Djimon and how many women would bail him out of jail?

Ummmm our society just like societies all over the damn world are indeed Euro-centric and find those features most attractive. Shout out to slavery and colonialism worldwide. The fact of the matter is if he was dark-skinned without such European features people wouldn't be throwing their panties at this criminal trying to get him out of prison. There are people all over this thread saying he is good looking yet you feel type of way about thinking he is attractive? That is seriously your issue.

....and here we go!
aw, come on. i don't think it's an unfair comment. part of the whole infatuation with light skinned/light eyes is that it's uncommon.

i did. i still think that there's more than one explination aside from euro-centric society. i am aware that we are euro-centric but that doesn't mean that everyone who thinks he has nice eyes = not liking black features.
ETA: i am seriously not in the mood to get into this today. i'm too fucking tired. but i'll just say that i felt the same as karinothing and i'm leaving it at that.
laurenpetro No one is saying if you think he's attractive that you're wrong or bad or racist or anything. iammalcolmx is just pointing out that if he were darker with darker eyes, it probably wouldn't have been something that went viral. It's not personal.
I'm sorry you're not feeling your best today. That was me yesterday. Thankfully, I got some sleep last night.

summer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Another true story when I was in Japan I texted Summer that I was cornered by a Japanese woman and continuously asked where I was from to which she replied " Just say Africa and get it over-with!!"
Wait, whut? So, we can talk all day post after post about how magazines fool people into thinking thin blonde women are the cream of the crop, but when MalcolmX says something about the euro-centric thing, that's a problem? GTFOH.
It was more that it seemed like she was saying everyone that found him attractive felt that way vs. society in general. So laurenpetro and I took offense to that, that is all.

My grandmother had two sets of twin brothers and one set were very dark with gray-blue eyes (the last one of these twins died last year). That was scary to me as a kid.
Is it illegal to be this sexy? When police say this man was arrested on felony weapons charges, are they talking about those piercing blue eyes?
Jeremy Meeks, 30, was swept up in the Stockton, Calif. Police Department's "Operation Ceasefire" sting in response to a recent wave of gang-related robberies and shootings, has the most popular mugshot ever posted to the police department's Facebook page.
Meeks has a strong jawline, the perfect amount of stubble, and 5 felony charges for weapons and gang activity. He's being held on $900,000 bail, which some of his adoring fans would gladly pay.
"If he gets his life together he could make millions as a model. Omg," wrote a typical commenter on the police department's Facebook post, which now has 55,000 likes.
Sorry, ladies (and some dudes) of Facebook: He's married.
"I just visited my wife, and she said it like, blew up all over Facebook," Meeks told ABC News 10 from jail.
He took the interview opportunity to explain that police found a pistol in his trunk, but he's "no longer a gangster." Meeks previously spent 9 years in prison for grand theft, and he says the teardrop tattoo on his face is because "he's done some things in his past that he's not proud of."

It's this. And remember how everyone was all OMG Lupita is beautiful, how could she ever think she wasn't - well because we live in a culture that has never particularly found dark skin to be beautiful.
I'm adding the Trailer for Dark Girls in case folks don't remember the discussion we had around it.
As to FelonBae - his features are those that I would see on a model. Very typical in that respect.

Oh lord. Yeah, this guy literally did not get why asking her that question was wrong. My boss, who grew up in the deep south, mint julep cup collection and all, had to go into the history of it with him. He is a stereotypically rich, clueless, overeducated white man. His defense was, "There's a tribe in Africa with light eyes." It was the only time I felt badly for my boss.

i called into a local radio station this morning about JUST this story ..... i saw the pic and as soon as i saw that teardrop tat .. yeah next. i don't care HOW good looking you are, if you have a tat like that, NEXT !!
the dj was a db .. apparently this reformed bad boy lover (stbxh is the epitome of that guy minus the tear tat) is now TOO picky (LOL !) i don't want much - stable job, good w/ kids, hockey fan, at least a college degree, no criminal record and being able to cook is a bonus.
I think mugshot guy is highly attractive and would whip my neck around to get a better look if I saw him on the streets. The face and neck tattoos kind of ruin it for me and I sure as hell ain't bailing a sucka out of jail. So overall, not my type,
Take that face, without tattoos, give him glasses and a nerdy hobby, I would 've broken my neck trying to get his attention in college.

yeah ... like in all likelihood KILLED someone ....
I should also note here that my grandmother had 15 siblings. FIFTEEN.
nope. nopenopenopenope.
my SIL is married to a guy who is 1 of 10. i got kind of drunk at her bachelorette party and said to her (now)MIL that she must have loved being pregnant to have all those kids. she too must have been kind of drunk because she said "NOPE! I JUST LIKED MAKING THEM!"
WOWZA. This has been a NAUGHTY week at PCE and I like it. Goooood christy.
And FTR, when I initially heard this dude described on the radio this morning, I thought he'd be black, and I'd be making the same comments if he were. THAT JAWLINE PEOPLE.
Do you mean dark-skinned? Because this dude is black, he's just light complected.
I bet if he wasn't light skinned with light eyes people wouldn't be falling all over themselves trying to bail his ass out of prison with his six felonies. Our euro centric society kills me.
BUT LUPITA THOUGH.
Stop your judgement of people who find those with Light-skin and light eyes attractive. Like you I am SURE you must force your H to wear the darkest spray tanner you can find. I personally make mine wear Brown contacts so I don't have to look at his Blue eyes.

Yes, from the description I heard, I was expecting a dark skinned black man. A hot one.
And no, when I first looked, I did not think he looked black. Looking more closely, sure, yes I see it. Clearly a significant mix of ethnicity in this man though. A damn good mix.

In my professional opinion, he is full of bullshit.
