GROWING UP AS A DARK SKINNED BLACK GIRL, IM NOT GOING TO DENY IT, I DID CRAVE TO BE OF A LIGHTER COMPLEXION.
ALL THROUGHOUT HISTORY BLACK PEOPLE OF LIGHTER COMPLEXION AND SOFTER HAIR WERE TREATED BETTER I AM NOT SAYING THAT BEING OF LIGHTER COMPLEXION IS WRONG.
BUT I AM SAYING THAT THERE SHOULD NOT BE A HIERARCHY IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY BECAUSE WE ALL COME IN DIFFERENT TONES AND DIFFERENT SIZES, mHAIR TYPES AND DIFFERENT EYE COLOURS BUT THATS MAKES WHATS US UNIQUE AND BEAUTIFUL.
