Just when you think blacks have come so far we always think of dumb ass ways to take millions of steps backward. Light Skinned vs. Dark skinned come on people get smart. We should be embracing ourselves and loving one another....Kenya your the SHIT girl I love to see my fellow sistas loving themselves light and dark bcuz these days its rare. Black women are notorious for having low self esteem and Im glad to see that there are some of us that wake up and are proud of wat we see.Peace N Luv

@afrolatinadamien lol well that would be great if everyone sees it the way you do, but a lot of ppl dont unfortunately, therefore making this a historical issue among african descendents in the united states

The stereotype out there is that black women are loud/obnixious and hard to get along with. I've met quite a few black women that meet that stereotype. Maybe if they were a bit more demure and have a feminine mindset they would be more accepted. Like queen Latifa is cute cause her personality is.

i like your message, the whole light vs dark also applies to other nationalities too, Im puerto rican and have been told by cousins that I wasnt part of the family bc i wasnt as dark as her. Your message is universal, and beauty isnt defined by one thing, thanx
