To deny yourself is to deny your parents, your grandparents, because that's who made you this way.

I honestly think African Americans are the only people who talk about different tones of darker skin.
asians and hispanics definitely do

Are you for realz

I think black people don't really care cause we come in 90 shades

Just the weak ones are bothered

not at all.  :dead:

colorism runs deep in other communities; latinas, italians, asians, indians etc;

eurocentrism and the elusive "beauty standard" is pretty much to blame for all this.

Let me rephrase that.

I think African Americans are the only ones who talk about THEIR different skin tones.
And the same for other races. If that makes sense.

ehh...not really tho.

and even if we do, you can't deny that there are certain luxuries blacks with a lighter tone are awarded over the charcoal gorls.
just look at the Empire cast :usuresis:

White supremicy has worked it's way into all kind of cultures, though. And a lot of people talk about specific shades being previewed as better.  I used to work with some Indian ladies, and they were having a conversation about how you should drink a lot of milk while you are pregnant.  I asked why and they said people believed it would make your baby lighter skinned.  I just thought to myself I had no idea they were effected by this mess just like black people.

Yeah I think African Americans are actually some of the tamer groups when it comes to the light skin/dark skin mess
Atleast we acknowledge it's wrong.

The girls in Asia will tell you you're an ugly soot darkie and then advertise some skin lightening cream to you.
