If someone isn't checking for you, move on. There a lot of color struck people but most are ignorant and wouldn't interest me anyway.
Most of my brothers are color struck and that's because they grew up with messages that lighter skin, and straighter hair was better. Teach your children to embrace and value their beauty and culture from a young age, monitor what messages they take in from the media, friends or family. Be the example you want to see.
We need to come together from a place of love and respect and not attack each other. That only causes more animosity and rifts between black men and women. Some black guys abandon black women, some black women give black men a hard time. We are not each other's enemies. We are on the same side.
Instead of attacking, how about we focus on solving problems.
here is the thing, its bigger than self esteem and image, the world will treat you better automactically if you are a lighter shade, my last two employers went out their way to hire and retain white people.... in Atlanta, a black woman was told she couldn't get promoted until she grew her hair long, image matters to them sop it must matter to us
ive been with mostly women darker than me but i could never have a kid with them, why would I want a kid to go thru what i had to go thru, even as a caramel brother
