    Remember, jealous people will never let you know that they really admire you. It's like the boy in elementary school who keeps teasing a girl only to find out years later it was because he really liked her.

    Thank you for sharing. Keep being strong. Know that you are bigger than hate. jealousy, ignorance and blindness. Positive people come in all colors,shapes and sizes. Keeping your heart open will allow them to enter your business and life.

    I have experienced much colorism because of my skin color and because I am not "stereotypical" in much of my preferences, ideologies, and lifestyle. However, the bullying and hatred I have experienced is very much invalidated by darker- skinned black folk, especially women. It is a relief to hear you speak up about this issue.

      Color is not a good the way to distinguish blackness . I can tell in a second when a white personality has “ one drop “ of black blood .
      The problem with America “ one drop “ is , it is pure grotesque example of post slavery colonialism that hangs on and on. How can a person be black white asian or whatsoever be considered only black , when any working brain knows that genetics changes occur . It is just a fact .
      I have a serious issue with colorism , because it is a bull concept when it comes to the definition of a race .
      Dark skin, light skin …anthropologists will look at bone structure , body shapes , facial features , and hair texture to properly describe race . We have so many different groups on this earth that are dark skin and not African black .

    I [liked] your video. A person like you could simply live a good life, but you cry because it hurts to be rejected by people you love. But please, see how you can help light skinned people, even men. I have African textured hair but it is light. So that has been incredibly rough since the age of three. I was Youth Pastor for seven years at a Black church. They treated me fine. That was until people came in who did not like me. It is soooo hard for Black people to stand up for someone like me when they have to challenge a Black racist.

    As a human being she should not be treated this way. However we need some racial boundaries and identity and when I see we I mean people born with 2 black parents have a completely different phenotype than biracials. . They have more European DNA...anything white or proximity to white will give them an advantage that's just the facts. I'm over this one drop rule. Biracial and multiracial need their own identity. How the hell you can be black and white pass? Never made since to me

      who told you she was biracial. My mother is lighter than her and both of her parents are brown skinned. Strangers would ask my grandmother is she was the nanny because my mother had blonde hair and blue eyes. Then they thought her husband was white until they saw my grandfather who is darker than my grandmother and looks just like my mother. Some of you sound like you’ve never been around. I expect this type of ignorance from whites people, I don’t tolerate it from grown black people.
