Jamaicans ain't the only ones who bleach
As usual, someone tries to misconstrue; it never fails. Who said anything about bleaching?Jamaicans ain't the only ones who bleach

Matter of fact, i do remember once having an argument with my little sis who was goddamn 12 or so at the time. She black as a mothafukka, amazing complexion before puberty hit her. Our family has some issues with eczema and she would break out in blotches if she was in the sun too much over time.
I was telling her how she was lucky she had even-toned dark skin(my skin is fukking 5 different shades depending where you look) and she was arguing "im not dark skinned"Like I was cussing at her.
This went on for damn 10 minutes. Obviously i couldnt quite articulate why i found it frustrating she said that, so i dont know if anything positive came of it, but thinking back that shyt was surreal. You couldnt get much darker than she was. She definitely didnt get that from the family, so i always wondered who she was around to have her convinced it was a bad thing, unless it was 100% subliminal. White girls all over tv with long manes and fair skin and whatnot, showing a shortage of dark skinned role models for the sorts of things she was interested, even though my mom went out of her way to keep things black in the household.
That aint shyt breh. I hear my lil sis refer to herself as "my white ass" . That's unacceptable in my book and I dont even fukk with her like that . She too far gone
Ugh, the ill-worded "red/yellowbone" shyt. I have always hated those terms, as they made no sense to me. Obviously when i was young and thought of red, i thought native american, and yellow i always thought oriental
I have a middle sister that is high-yellow like Tisha Campbell who was always referred to as "sunshine".The white in her side of the family was 2 generations removed but she came out super light. I never asked her how people reacted to her outside of our home, but i did see instances of her being approached by black males on some "yellowbone" tip. Usually the absolute darkest brothas too
Our family dont put up withnonsenseSo i can only imagine the ether she dropped. People say creepy things to people they perceive as "exotic" for sure.
You know what, you have to be right on is one. It would make sense because for the most part people cant openly discuss these things, not because people wont talk about it, but because everyones perspectives are a bit skewed on it. My mom spoke openly about racism in our house (even though she would say some cringeworthy shyt about other races that made me take her opinion with a grain of salt) but colorism was not a conversation, as most of it seems subconscious rather than overt. Hard to call something out when you have been born to find it the norm.

yellowbone. My lil sis nickname within the family (aunts and uncles) was BeigeGod, this ain't nearly the same, but i caught the nickname "whiteboy" after i geeked out cause a kid brought a skateboard to school one day...i happened to be able to do a handful of tricks
It was one of the most puzzling and lowkey hurtful things because while i felt comfortable with all races, i knew who i was even as a kid, but i wondered if i was "black enough" if everyone questioned my choice of words and style of dress and what i was into.
Not Jamaicans, in general being c00ns, just that there are more c00ns there than some would like to believe. No need to deflect as no one is saying all of them.

The people i was hanging out with at the time though were hood as fukk They gave me shyt at every turn. Next thing you know, one of them guys start auditioning for school plays The other was drawing anime
Even got to do a mural for the school and a design of the senior yearbook Like damn. Call dudes lame for liking shyt then turn into artists Skateboarding was popping with black kids as hard yet back in early 2000s until Tony Hawks Pro Skater dropped. About that time brothas stopped hating so damn much and traded loitering on corners for hanging at the skateparks. And ollies are easy
