I showed her a dark skin woman on Instagram and she said I need to have kids with a lighter woman (brown) so my kids won't be super dark.
She's older so it's just conditioning from when she was young. She didn't mean any harm lol.
My mom's father was like that the last time I saw him (second time I met him). I used to be darker than I am now. Like the kid pic I posted in here days ago. I was like a caramel/butterscotch brown. Especially because I never avoided the sun. But when he came to visit, he tore down everyone that was dark skinned (like on tv, when we were in the car and folks were walking by, Foxy Brown - who you know I've always loved). It made me feel uncomfortable because I was darker than both of my parents and him and I felt like I was borderline to what he considered "ugly". I told my mom that I never wanted to see him again and he made me feel uncomfortable and he was too negative.That was the last time I ever saw him. But he was/is from Fort Worth, TX and it's a lot of that racist/colorist shyt going on. My uncles tried to tell me how he had bad experiences with darker skinned Black people and to not take it too seriously. But tbh I kinda felt like he was shytting on me too even though I wasn't as dark as the ppl he was bashing. That visit was what caused me to never want to talk to him on the phone or want to see him again. The irony is that my mom's half sister who I mentioned about in here this morning is brown and her mother is very dark. He had a child by a dark skinned woman on my grand mother (while they were together) who is light. lol
Once again, hence my posts above...Men say one thing but will still fukk a woman despite whatever bullshyt they are spewing.
