Ladies, I just have to say my piece. I agree with a lot of you. Being dark myself, I do hate the you are a pretty black girl, or you are pretty for a dark-skinned girl lines. I get it like everyday. Mmm, mm, mm...and the hair, oh my. My hair was also not that long, just a couple inches past my shoulders as well,but everyone wanted to know if it was real, and I have also had people tug and feel in my hair. Even now, chin length and layered, I still get those is it real remarks. I also get the Indian in my family remarks, although I do, I tell people no for reactions. Hey, can't I just be a pretty girl who takes care of her hair? Sheesh,
But what does bother me is that my close friend, although not as close as before, tells me all the time not have kids by a dark-skinned man, because she'd be sorry for my kids. What? How rude. My mom is also very light, but we look just alike, like she spit me out, and people are always asking me how I had gotten so dark. Does it matter? I'm still me. My dad was dark, duh. Genes, stupid! Sorry, y'all. I had to vent.
