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.
My great grandmother was very dark with Hazel eyes. Her name was.....Hazel. She was Haitian. And supposedly mean as shit, if you asked her children and family members. They called herHazel, the Haitian.
They call one of H's Norwegian cousins Nusia because she is a nuisance. I don't know her real name.
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."
Well that's a damn shame because I was literally going to bail him out of jail and marry him. Not just, ya know, file for the spank bank.
There is an interesting point in this, though. I think we can agree that on a societal level, we're taught to view lighter skinned individuals as attractive (well, unless they're white, in which case a tan seems to be necessary.)
But, on an individual level, are we racist for having particular preferences? For example, that guy is too light skinned for my taste. I'm more attracted to darker skinned black men in general (that doesn't mean I can't find a lighter skinned man attractive, just that, on the whole, I find darker men more attractive.) Does that make me racist?

Here is where it gets fun. When I have asked on the all Black message boards it's no problem to say you prefer darker skin but if someone prefers lighter skin the dancing racoon GIF is thrown out. In Black men I also prefer darker skin I think because (1) When I was younger light skinned guys were so coveted it got on my nerves (2) A light skinned dude broke my heart when I was like 14, LOL!!! I haz some baggage.
I just can't believe he is from Stockton. STOCKTON??
Put this into context for me!! I live in Atlanta.
Stockton is one of many armpit like central valley locales in CA where certain things are guaranteed like gangs, drugs, and people you want to generally stay away from.
there are exceptions - i had a college bf from stockton, a dirty irishman (blue eyes, bwn hair) that had a decent amt of intelligence and the deep deep deep desire to get the hell out of stockon.

I used to work at a gas station and there was this really pretty light skinned man with green eyes that would come in every morning. I cannot tell you how many women would throw themselves at him. I've never seen anything like it.

I'm a sucker for any man with green eyes. DH case in point.
If you are going to California in search of beauty, I would not start in Stockton!
The only pretty place in Stockton is UOP, you leave that bubble and it turns into a 3rd world country. Stockton is rough, I definitely lock my doors when I stop at the first red light.

What is it w/ UOP and shitty locales .. their McGeorge SOL is in the G_H_E_T_T_O of Sacramento (Oak Park neighborhood) and from what i understand their Dental School in SF is in a less than desirable location as well.
This is the most glamorous story Stockton has ever known! I'm sure they are happy they are in news for something other than bankruptcy or murders for once! A beautiful man in prison = a step up!

The dental school is actually in a perfectly fine neighborhood, but I agree with the rest of the assessment about UOP's campus locations.
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.
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.

See?? Thanks for dropping knowledge this certainly puts things in perspective.

I don't think those locations were the ghettos they are considered now when UOP set up shop 100 years ago, or whatever.
Jeremy Meeks, the alleged gang member whose mugshot moistened a thousand panties when it hit Facebook yesterday, is also a Christian family man who walks the straight and narrow, according to his mom and sister.
Although Meeks has been charged with several felony counts of gun possession, his family says he's no longer in a gang, instead focusing on working and raising his son.
"Please help. My son was taken into custody on his way to work. He is a working man with a son. He is being stereotyped due to old tattoos," Katherine Angier wrote on a fundraiser page for Meeks's bail, which has been set at $900,000.
Meeks's sister told TMZ the reason he had a gun in his trunk was "because he used to be in a gang and needs to protect himself." She added that he's been a practicing Christian for the past 7 years.
In a local news interview from jail, Meeks casually mentioned his wife. TMZ reports they've been married 4 years and have a 3-year-old son together.
Meeks previously served a 9-year sentence for grand theft, and acquired a teardrop tattoo that he says signifies some bad decisions in his past.
In my professional opinion, his mom & sister are full of bullshit too.
ETA: Also, it is really freakin' hard to get bail set as high as $900,000. REALLY HARD. That alone tells me pretty boy was seriously up to no good and it wasn't an "Oops I forgot I still had a gun."

I really really like a good smelling well groomed man in a tailored suit. That shit makes me want to do nasty stuff.
I'm not even kidding when I say that when DH dresses up, I have a hard time controlling myself.
Carl recently bought a sport coat and the day it arrived we were texting back and forth grading it's merits on a scale of 1 to "champagne, strawberries, and a hot tub full of friends".
