Video has gone viral. A must-watch. Anti-blackness and colorism is everywhere it seems. This is so sad and disgusting:

Nayara Justino thought her dreams had come true when she was selected as the Globeleza carnival queen in 2013. But some in Brazil regarded her complexion to be too dark to be an acceptable queen

She is absolutely gorgeous

Horrible. Dark skinned black women have it the hardest when it comes to colorism.

And the attacks against them come from self hating blacks most of the time.
