i never thought of myself as light-skinned either but other Black folks have called me that... It took me awhile to accept it though I had to think about it. I rarely get pulled over by cops, they don't talk shyt to me or give me threatening looks, shyt I'm invisible to them. That is not the normal Black experience.i kinda agree, i'm considered light-skinned by people i know but yeah i prefer Dark-Skinned Black women, but other than that i date all shades.
it's weird people consider me light-skinned, i'm like Jay-Z's skin color and i think i'm brown-skinned
