    and I don't give a ? what ya'll say Mariah Carey is white. She looks white, she white.

    D'kay, so to everyone who no-signed. One of my great grand father was orphaned as a child, most likley due to being the product of a mixed race relationship. Should I consider myself black since I probably have a black great great great grandfather? I look about as black as Mariah Carey does.

    So, ? only like light-skinned chicks?
    LMAO, ok. Double standards ass backward mindset.

    Difference between liking them and simping them to death. Look at them old R & B videos from the 90s. Most of the love interests are light skinned women. Show love equally to pretty dark skinned women and pretty light skinned women.

    We are in America where we conditioned to like light-skin women. Some of the black males can't off of that because it's display constantly.

    kid capri or stephon curry's complexion are what is considered "yellow bones"
    This ? just call some dudes yellow bones...smmfh

    You're trying too hard.So what do it mean by callin wesley snipes blacc/dark complexion? Shut da fucc up wit your homophobic insecurities

    The point of the thread is differentiating the complexions,it said nothing about it being only women

    blah blah blah ? .
    No grown man calls no other man a redbone or yellowbone. foh!

    Wesley is a darkskinned brotha, Terrence Howard is a Lightskinned cat...thats all there is to it.

    I'm sorry but most of these picture responses are just wrong. Say what you want about the silliness of these classifications, but that notwithstanding they still do have precise meanings. People are posting pics of hispanics. That has nothing to do with redbone/yellowbone. Both of those terms refer specifically to shades of African Americans/US based mullatos.

    ? and their thirst for light skinned women.

    so black men who have a preference for any women that's not dark skinned are ? ? that's a terrible mindset to have bruh. i would hate to be a friend or family member of yours, you must judge people all day long on the dumbest ? .


    Not ? , just simps. Simps that lose any rational thought when a pretty light skinned chick comes through. Many of these "players" lose their minds and gas up even light skinned chicks that are average looking. Which is the reason why a lot of them are hard to get for the rest of the men.

    I call it conditioning, you call it preference. Leave it as that.

    I already did. I gave the example. Halle is a standard redbone, which just means she's lighter than anything that would be considered "brownskinned" and her skintone has red undertones. Mariah is a yellowbone. As the older people say "She's light, bright, and damn near white." That's really the difference. If we go back to the dumb ways of thinking from back in the day, redbones just pass the paper bag test. Yellowbones blow it away.

    There IS no difference--they're both 1 and the same no matter how you slice it (mulatto, quadroon, octaroon, ect)..........


    ...............and to quote Laurence Fishburne in "Deep Cover"--"Only a ? would answer that question".........

    case in point:

    Blu197 sez:

    Had to go on google to look up the difference....

    ". A red bone is like white to the person, some can be pale too like Tisha Campbell,Alicia Keys,Faith Evans,and Mariah Carey"

    " A yellow bone is in the light skin category but someone with light blended with a yellow like undertone or honey skin like Keyshia Cole,Beyonce,and Lauren London"

    I think this sounds legit

    this ? went to Google to answer this ? .

    You may not like chocolate ice cream, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

    The fact is both terms exist in common lexicon ignorant or not. It doesn't say anything negative about you to answer the question for what it is.

    there are different shades of redbones. But real light women don't look red to me. they look yellow. & some of them look like they are mixed with white. a redbone can be brownskin.

    Truth be told...

    Hood ngas uses these terms mo so than your average regular nga.. (say red)..If you really wanna know..Go to your nearest hood..and just post up...I bet you you'll find a ghetto chick being called "Red" and that'll give you an indication on why she's called "Red" and more so...

    We down here tend to use the term 'yellow' towards a dude per say..
    If a dudes is on the mix of this tone...he's usually be referred to ass "ole high yellow ass nga" or yella boy...

    Red is for the women...despite the skin tone...If she's yellow or red...it's all the same down here...we say "Say Red, come here" lol..I know I do

    Yellow is for the dudes per say..

    Calling somebody red can also refer to their face changing when they get mad or upset and turning red which does happen to light/yellow folks so that's why they get nicknamed Reds too.

    Didn't someone already answer this ? correctly? Red pertains to a bronze type hue while yellow is your run of the mill mulatto.
