Thanks for viewing the video. Please watch both clips. I would like to stress the fact that the color complex is NOT just an African American/Black problem. White supremacy and colonialism has affected so many people. Don't believe me? Check out Hispanic, Indian, Asian, etc. communities.There is power in the words we speak. We have to stop the self destructive language! Yes, we have A LOT of work to do, but we are not alone. Love yourselves and let's love each other.

Part 1 & 2 of this film has been shown at various colleges & high schools, and there have been incredible discussions following it. It was also featured at the Hip Hop International Film Festival (New York) and the Short & Sweet film festival in Dallas. Its gritty & has some obvious flaws, but its mineand now its on youtube! Be amazed, outraged, inspired to talk candidly about the subject, and/or create something new, etc. Please tell a friend & thank you for viewing it.

darker girls that are pretty are more beautiful than any woman in the world! AND,! who in hell wanna date any woman that has four kids and can't hold an intelligent conversation. red bones are and always have been the most used girls in the black community because they feel that every man wants them because of their complextion! so they get ran through! a real woman is a real woman, FUK the skin color! US niggas need to love our selves before we try to love someone else and stop hatin our own!

@MrBigawesome1 Agreed all the most famous SUPERMODELS are dark skinned black women

I'm a light skinned woman and I never think of myself better than any other dark skinned woman for any reason. Most of my close friends are dark skin, and we've never had an issue with color of our skin. Their dark and really pretty!

I feel ashamed that this ignorance was exposed at an international film festival.

We need to know shame and embrace pride in ourselves.

that first girl (cornrolls) is too pretty to be talking like that. Sounds like a ghetto crackhead. Almost she trying to prove something with the cornrolls and ghetto talk
