AW FUCK NO! I am going to raise MY daughter to know and embrace the fact that her kinky hair and skin is BEAUTIFUL. This is sooo sad. Screw all this skin bleaching cream, the ignorant name-calling among our race, and the whole bullshit notion of not wanting to marry a "dark skinned" man. My boyfriend is fine as hell and blacker than my damn shoe and I cannot wait to marry him and have beautiful black babies with him someday. WAKE UP BLACK AMERICA!

For years I was bullied for being mayan, and felt sad about it, I wished to be white-ish like my mother, today as a grown up I feel proud about my heritage, thank you for reminding me this fact. Love from México

Now that is something that you don't hear very often. I am curious...why the desire to be black?

[edavismookie25]

That is because you were taught to hate yourself..which is sad. Racism and discrimination have a psychological effect.

I'm a white girl from Australia, and my whole life since I was a little I wanted to be black, I hated being white. When I was little most of my friends were Indigineous Australians and I wanted so badly to be Indiginous, as I got older I decided I wanted to be African, but I've never wanted to be white, there's nothin wrong with being white, but I always thought black girls were prettier. When I was little I was always told black babies were cuter then white ones. I still wish I was African

This is really messed up. There was this really really black girl in my law class in high school, I think she was one of the prettiest people I've ever met.

Black girls is better than white girls in bed too. My heart beats crazier for a black girl. While girl don't satisfy me az much. Some do. But black wins 75% more of the times

I'm 1/2 European and 1/2 Maori from New Zealand. So I considered myself 1/2 black. I'd date an African girl. All y'all girls in this clip is phat if you know what I'm saying. I mean all y'allz is hot. What I'm saying black or while or in between all good to me. So screw all those people who hate black girls

I was adopted when I was just two days old. I have no clue who my parents were, let alone things like what nationalist I have or where I am from. Yet I don't suffer from feeling if " not knowing who I am." Your genetic history is much less important than more people think it is. Oh and by the way, one of the only things I know about my birth parents is that my father was African American. I got my hair, lips, and nose from him. :)
