I’m Not Alien, I’m Just Dark skin..
“I Knew This Girl That Was So Dark, She Was
Dark than You, Kamilah”
I never
really paid attention to my skin complexion until I was in the 8th
grade and my dean asked me “Kamilah, are you comfortable with your skin color.”
I never really paid attention to race either, I just knew that I was Kamilah
and I liked rock music watching MTV and dancing like I have no rhythm what so
ever (I still don’t but who cares). Point is it wasn’t until I go older that my
skin complexion or even the fact that I am a black female became the topic of
discussion.
Lately
I’ve been getting a lot of... Chat about me being dark skinned which has been
bugging me.
Why should my skin
complexion separate me from other people?
And its not really just me, a lot of males in
New York City find light skinned females very attractive and they even take it
a step further and have #TeamLightskin vs. #TeamDarkskin and that makes females
insecure (I don’t care what you say it does make you insecure) by asking
whether they are brown skin or dark skin. & a female will be damned if you
dare to utter the word “your dark skin” to her. She will insist that shes brown
skin. Whatever happened to the days where we were all happy that were black? It’s
so hard to find people who haven’t been brain washed with the idea that if your
dark skin you’re not accepted, & if your light skin you’re better then
everyone that’s not your complexion
Wake UPPPPPPPPPP!
Stop the ignorance
We
are all black we are all brothers and sisters and we shouldn’t be divided by
skin complexion, we should be united under the idea that we are all black and
our ancestors are from Africa (yes idc what you said if your Black YOUR ANCESTORS CAME FROM AFRICA!!!)
