still catching up with the mess in this thread.

I just think if more of us dark skinned people would simply embrace and celebrate our skin it would remove some of the stigma that comes with saying "dark skin". It's a shame how its damn near considered an insult, to the point where people will do anything to remove themselves far from the vicinity of the term.
It's no reason this thread should be 51 fucking pages.

But I get it. Some things are more easily said than done, especially dealing with mess that has been PLANTED in our heads for generations.
