My boyfriend's skin is so soft and such a rich color. Oh my gosh. I love his skin. He's Somali/Egyptian, and he's so Brown and amazing. I love his skin, it literally feels like what chocolate should feel like if it were in skin form. Lol. His skin is the most amazing. Gives me chills just thinking about it.

[lilybug216]

I love India Arie, she has always been one of my idols. With her buttery smooth voice, and soulful tunes. This song amazing, and in my opinion all skin tones are beautiful. This song is beyong just being proud of being brown, it teaches society to be proud of your skin, heritage, and self. I am naturally golden beige/tan and love my color. I also love mocha, to pale, and between. I am proud to be brazilian/and other cultures that amke up me.

[MzHipHop1]

@Singaway2009 : ))))

[HipHop226]

Dont mean to sound racist but I couldnt be with any woman that wasnt a sista

[lilruc]

@HipHop226 I can. There's plenty beautiful arab, indian and spanish women our there too. That's racist no matter how you try and deny it.

[HipHop226]

@lilruc I didnt say they werent beautifal. Arab and Indian women are of color so I include them. I see beautiful white women but I wouldnt be with 1

[laffy]

@HipHop226 lol

[playace2]

@lilruc the man has a preference why is he racist 4 saying he love sista's lol

[lilruc]

@playace2 Black people and their logic, smdh.

[playace2]

@lilruc so is john mayer racist, he claimed his penis is a white supremacist coz he doesnt like black woman, so i guess its not just black logic havin preferences an all, just coz u mite lay down with anything doesnt mean every1 else will (no offence)

[MzHipHop1]

@HipHop226 Lol

[edmitch1010]

Does anybody remember India Arie at Yin Yang in Atlanta? That was the best club/live music that I've ever seen. A small place; the vibe, the performers, the house DJ-DJ Kemit and the house band were ridiculous. They had a cat Donnie who was a regular, a pure voice. I am shocked he didn't blow up. The place was almost spiritual. In my mind, Ying Yang was the Mecca of Neo-Soul.

[zaxterry]

im ready for me some good lovin now. oooooo boy my legs are shakin

[41Oldskool]

[yassinho7]

[tianatoo1]

i love how so many can take such a beautiful song, thats so sensual, and is about India.Arie being in love with her man, who is obvisiously of African descent, and turn it into a race debate. Come on son! Enjoy the sweet sounds of this soulful artist.

[dabliuem3nighty]

e lei invece, tanto splendida nel primo album(prodotto guarda caso dallo stesso indipendente che inventò Erikah Badù), quanto inascoltabile e banale in quasi tutto ciò che ha fatto dopo, peccato!

[AmiableOrchid]

*sways w/it*

[Eragarev]

Love of a skin color is just as bad as a hate for it.

[MitchellLoves420]

@Eragarev ...what? no. everyone is beautiful. peace to all.

[ps. I'm white]

[Eragarev]

@MitchellLoves420 Yes. My statement is true.

[nwhitted11]

@Eragarev To think the meaning of the song is that simple and not more complex to involve ideas of self love and an appreciation for what God gave you is sad on your part. "Brown" is interchangeable; it wouldn't matter what color of the rainbow you inserted, or even other words- "my skin', etc. It's about personal respect for self and others regardless of skin color. If you knew anything about Arie you would be aware that she in no way valuing brown skin as better.

[Eragarev]

@nwhitted11 I doubt inserting "white" in place of brown would actually matter, but that's beside the point. Okay, her song may have some hidden meaning in there somewhere. Can't disprove it, so it MUST be true, right god boy? Doesn't make my statement about loving your SKIN any less true.

[nwhitted11]

@Eragarev Actually, that is the point. You automatically used white as an example, why? B/c the social conception of race is so ingrained in our society that you approach this song through a racial lens that narrows interpretation of the song to be based on pigment. That isn't to say the argument isn't valid; I was saying that there are other options besides race. To be (tactfully) critical is one thing, but we must also be aware of the discursive practices that shape critical thinking.

[nwhitted11]

@Eragarev Oh, and that's God girl to you Sr. :)

Why so feisty? Intellectual conversation is stimulating; heaven forbid someone actually take the time to read and respond to your comment as to encourage discussion lol.

[Eragarev]

@nwhitted11 ehh. touche.

[xxLaHippieLifeIs4Mex]

@Eragarev you have a point, but it all depends on what is done with the love, this song isn't talking about the love of skin, more the appreciation for skin colour, how it can tell so much of a story about someone. she's not saying its the best colour, but that its what makes them special and distinct

[Adventurous214]

this woman is the Sugar Honey Ice Tea

[sugarnutter]

Amen to brown skin!

[MsBarefootWanderer]

And suddenly... I'm craving chocolate.

[simplysweet257]

I love this song, and I'm light skin, this song is more than about complexion, it's bout loving yourself and the skin your in.
