In response...

First and Foremost,

Perhaps ones personal experiences would determine their opinion. I respect that.However that doesn't solve the current issue. Shad ism exists because of the Western influence on society. Unfortunately the sense of being as "white" as possible has been drilled in our culture sense the days of slavery...I know that the same problem still exists.... latinos(preferring lighter hispanics) ,asians(the double eye-lid surgery), and even within the Caucasian community(slender nose augmentations),Jews changing last names and etc.......

The bottom line is this.
The change starts within our own race
realizing that BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL!!.

I LOVE MY CULTURE,RACE,AND HISTORY...DONT EVER MISTAKE THAT.....I'm proud for all of my achievements and the strength that was passed down to me from my ancestors.

There is nothing wrong with white people seeing just black...(in response to who ever asked if I felt that it was problematic.)


The problem that I was addressing was that they don't see complexion.They see race.It doesn't matter how light or dark you are, we are all African American.

I just wish we would just see that for ourselves and stop focusing on light eyes,color pigments and "good hair"(whatever that is )instead we should judge each other based on intellect.character.and ultimately our achievements.

TY.Stay Classy.
