I've gotten both. I've been told that I was pretty to be darkskinned, on numerous occasions. I just take the hair compliments in stride, but they tick me off, too. I guess you just get used to it. I've heard this stuff all of my life.
I'll never forget, when I was still in high school, me and my best friend were boy hunting, and this car drove by. So I said, "Was he cute?" She said, "No, he was dark-skinned." I asked her wth she meant by that and she told me that dark-skinned people just weren't as attractive as lighter skinned people. PISSED ME OFF!!! And she STILL thinks this. I just shake my head. We don't even talk about it, but I let her know that I never forgot that mess.
It is very disheartening to know that people, OUR PEOPLE, still have this sick mentality.
