Im curious, has anyone else ever been made to feel "less than" because of being darker? I've never experienced that kinda hate from other African Americans regarding skin complexion. It baffles my MIND to hear someone say shit like this. Even in my immediate family there is a mix. My father is pretty fair complected as are 2 of my siblings but there was NEVER a discussion on that kinda shit in my home. This is disgusting and disheartening
I never had it personally but witnessing how the really dark skinned kids in school would get called "African Booty scratcher", "Tar Baby" etc., shook me.
I hid from the fcking sun cause I didn't wanna experience that. I remember I was wearing shorts once and got a tan on my legs and someone screamed DAMN you got some BLACK legs.

I'm over that now and welcome the sun.
