True but as a child you are unaware of a lot of things...that black influence was justyou have to assume pride in yourself because you are
for me as a child...and I guarantee you without it I would have 6 baby mama's and probably woulda been bangin
I guess i was born that way, i cant ever remember a time in my life where i wanted to be anything other than black. Or where i thought white people were better. If anything i was naive about racism and thought we all got along. Thanks to the internet i was able to really read about the evil of certain people. So now im def more aware. I think of all the times i brushed off the subtle racism of some people and im ashamed. Whats crazy is like the older i get the more pro black i become. Im trying to find my roots and i know its not here.

What did they do exactly
some black kids, especially dark skinned, their parents will make what they think are harmless remarks, but will fukk up a child's psyche regarding their blackness and their dark skin. my mother's father did that to her just by saying shyt like "your dark butt". and even though my mother is a bit insecure in her darkness she NEVER passed that onto me, even by accident.
both of my parents are dark, they never said shyt like that, or if they did (it woulda been my father) it didnt bother me. but i cannot recall anything. so basically, just by NOT saying shyt like that, that made me realize i was no different, and as i got older, i grew to love and appreciate my blackness. i had mostly black baby dolls and barbie dolls. my first bible was for children of color. they wouldnt say shyt like "you're dark, you shouldnt wear that color". people used to always tell me i had a beautiful complexion. it wasnt until i got older that i thought that was maybe because i was dark they felt they had to reinforce my self esteem.
not until i was older did i realize the feelings people have towards black people, and even worse towards dark skinned people. still doesnt bother me
so my parents didnt do anything to make me feel like i wish i wasnt black. and looking back, they kept me immersed in the black community in about every hobby and extracurricular activity i had. my sister is the lightest in our family, our complexions were never a topic, an issue, a reference point
