PREACH, GIRL! PREACH!

lol

When we were younger, my brother was considerably lighter than me, and something like this would have hurt my feelings, I am sure of it. I always wondered if my mom liked him better because he was light skinned (after I had my son, I realized it was because he was her son, and he could have been black as soot with one arm, a limp, and one big eye on his chin, and he'd still be special to her as his mommy). If someone had come up with something real... something commercial... something organized... to highlight that difference, I think it would have been detrimental. It would have made be believe that it wasn't just in my head, and since someone made an effort to organize something special for it, it must be true.

Imagine something that could put a difference between two people with the same blood. Anyway, I think the idea is just awful.
