    "Black girls of all shades and ethnicities, don't be afraid to shine. Your hair is magic and your skin is divine. "
    -A little poem my dad made for my sister and I when we struggled with our complexions. I am dark and she is light. We need to stop separating ourselves by hue. Its disgusting and what slave owners conditioned slaves to do. We are all black girls. Black girls unite.

    skin tone has been my biggest insecurity for the longest, and I'm only 13. I've alwayysss wanted to be lighter especially bc my mom is light with the clearest skin. It really got worse when I moved and a lot of the black boys at my school would tell me they only dated "foreign" and "light" girls. It took me tonssss of self pep talks and compliments to realize my skin is gorgeousss and if a boy doesn't supposedly doesn't think I'm attractive bc I'm a darker shade, there's a problem with him, not me. The black community should be embracing all of our skin tones and not shaming certain shades; took me a while to figure out. Y'all are all beautiful💛

      ​@@thecraplordsell4575 My opinion is coming from the viewpoint of a nonblack person and I stand by what I said. Maybe because I'm from the South and have witnessed a lot of racism/discrimination, but white people and a lot of other races don't care what shade of black, black people are. When it comes down to it, if you're light skinned you're black, if you're dark skinned you're black. It seems like only the black community differentiates the 2. If you ask any other race of people what race a light skinned person is, guarantee they just say black.

Stop living by that stupid one drop rule that’s completely outdated when it comes to race and ethnicity nowadays. Also, it depends on features. If they have more African features than people would assume he’s black. Most people think of dark skin as black. Light skins are not black since they appear more European looking than dark skins blacks. You’re just trying to drag us in your insecurities.

    I'm probably gonna get hate for this, but here I go.
    I live in a black/hispanic dominated area. Black people are 40% of my school and Hispanics are 45%, and I am one of the 15% of whites.
    I've been beaten to the ground several times for being white, ridiculed, and out casted. I've wanted to be a different race so many times because of that. Really, the way you're treated only depends on where you live.

      +Emma Brooke I wouldn't boil it down to just that, although where you live/come from plays a big role in how you are treated. However sensible it may seem it's not effective to project your life experiences onto all experiences. Some people are treated differently because their skin color isn' t the same as the norm. Some people are treated differently because they're disabled physically or mentally, some people are treated differently because of mental illness. And oftentimes these people are overlooked Anyone who differs from the norm within a community, society or the greater world will be treated differently. Nothing is ever that simple.

    for the last who says that no matter what skin tone of black you are, it doesn't matter because were all treated almost the same i have to say...i see what she means. For dark skinned people, they get discriminated and judged by other races. And while it might be seen that light skinned blacks are treated "better" that can be seen as a false statement too because they get judged by there skin in their own communities because they're seen as not "black enough" or "not black at all". It's a situation of skin color that has been rooted so deeply in the black community but shouldn't matter at all because were all black.

    I remember an experience I had a while back when we were still in school. I was in a group with all my female friends and male friends. We decided to play a game of smash or pass. As we were going down the line of who they would smash or pass the game got more intense. I remember we all had to say why we would smash or pass the person. When it was my turn they all said “Smash because my preference is girls who are lighter than me.“ Keep in mind Im not a lightskin girl. I am a brownskin girl who is on the lighter side. Every stays throwing me in that lightskin category. When it came to one of my friends one of the boys in our group asked “Why u gon pass ha?“ the boy responded “ Cuz she too dark for me. You pretty you just need ta lighten up oreo.“ What he said was completely uncalled for and fucked up. I told him that the comment he made was hella messed up. People always compared me and my bsf. Saying that I was lighter then her and she was darker than me, but we were both brownskin girls. From my experience your either still “too dark“ or your just fine. In my opinion its perfectly fine to have a preference, but it becomes a probably when u talk down on darker women. Especially if the women in your family are darker. And ESPECIALLY if your darkskin as well. Just know everyone’s beautiful in the skin they are in. Darkskin, Lightskin, Brownskin, White, Asian, Indian, Biracial it doesn’t matter. We are all humans at the end of the day ..!💕✨💅🏽

So yes, it DOES matter because it determines how you are treated, how much privilege you have, how the world sees you, the list goes on. Colorism and racism go hand in hand. One does not function without the other. Color has always mattered.

    I think often there is a struggle between lighter skinned black people, and darker skinned black people. Darker skinned black people have been told by white people and people outside our race that we were not beautiful, hence the resentment. Lighter skinned people have been told constantly by the media, white culture,and black culture, that they were beautiful, and that is why they sometimes seem to believe that they are better, and get picked on by darker skinned people. It's so sad that were are still dividing ourselves, the way our slave masters did, we have to rise above this, all people are beautiful and all black is beautiful.

It's as if saying Black skin is automatically ugly and white skin is automatically beautiful with some exceptions . Majority people of my country have the same thinking. It makes me so mad.

We as black people will always be seen the same by other races as soon as they see we are darker they don’t care lighter or darker so can we please stop this Lightskin vs Darkskin dullshit it’s annoying and just to remind you Lightskin people have two black parents MIXED means having one white parent I say this because most people see us as white anyways when they don’t understand what they are even saying so just because we come out lighter does not mean we aren’t black in order for other races to respect us we have to start off respecting each other cuz it seems we all have a problem with that 🙄

It was just constant criticism of my skin color. Now that I'm older I just tune it out and will only judge by someone's character. I don't care what color you are, if you treat me like shit you will get the same treatment as well. Another thing I am always asked what ethnicity I am, people ask if I'm Somoan, Black, Hawaiian, Native American, Indigenous Mexican (which I am kin to) Korean(???) and Eskimo, East Asian. Anyway I have a young son and he has shown me already that he does not judge by color either.

    It hurts my heart that anyone has been made to feel "less than" due to their skin color. Nobody is elevated by trying to tear down those around you. Women of all races/shades should be encouraging and advocating for each other's equal treatment regardless of if we are a part of that group or not. I think we can all empathize with the feeling of wanting to belong and so we should absolutely be able to find it in ourselves to advocate for the representation needed to make that sense of belonging a reality.
