def genuine
but i just dont think ppl are generally ready to hear "im mixed/light skin and here's my struggle

" stories yet
without side eyeing them or laughing
or even thinking someone is bringing up the topic just to be cute and elevate themselves in some way.
unfortunately
people gotta get out of the mindset of thinking only of the privilege that comes with having a certain aesthetic in the states
but to be fair, i can imagine that's hard to do when thandie is specifically crying about her privileges.
"omg took ur men and it broke my heart!"
"got so many movie roles and success, i cried for so many nights about it!

"

i can totally understand why people have a hard time digesting it. the thought process generally is - what is there to cry about?
but she's def genuine and deserves to be heard. i sense a real struggle.
