: You're pretty for a dark skinned girl"
If I hear that *** one more time, I am going to f'in scream. What in hell does that mean? Does that mean if you're dark skinned, you supposed to be ugly? Do people expect you to be ugly when you're a little darker than the average person?
My question for the world is when did this all start? When did they start to consider dark skinned girls as ugly?
The answer is it all started in the days of slavery. Back in the slavery days, the man divided the blacks into two parts Light *** and Dark ***. The light *** was closer to white, the only thing acceptable for the white man, so they got to work inside. While the light skinned individual worked inside of the plantation, cooking for the master, cleaning the master's dirty clothes, and teaching the owner's wife how to cook cornbread; the darker skinned slave worked outside in the field, picking cotton, hanging laundry, and helped grow the crops. The darker person was treated like nothing while the lighter one (although still Negro) was treated better and worshiped secretly by the master as she became his secret mistress, his black buck.
Then we became free...
And older people placed that same hate inside of their own family... Many of the slaves were raped by the white man therefore some of their children came out light skinned while their younger children came out dark skinned. The light skinned individual became the highlight of the family because they were the closest thing to white and that's what the man has placed inside of our head to feel like anything closest to white was right...
Look at all of our favorite food:
We prefer white bread over wheat We prefer white potatoes over sweet potatoes We prefer white pasta over colored or wheat pasta We prefer white rice over brown
See those are the ideologies that were placed in our head and what we don't realize that all 4 of those foods that I mentioned are not even good for us...
Anyway,
The light skinned individual was allowed to work in offices and things of that nature while the darker person was forced to work blue collared jobs.
Think about it...
HUN, darkskin girls are beautiful. I actually think we as a society need to start reinventing that term "dark skin". What is dark skin? How dark do you have to be, to be dark skin? Its just becoming a term people use in a derogatory way, and thats not how its supposed to be. Alot of the most beautiful women are "dark skin"
