I never even thought about this until ridiculous2000 said something very similar. When I was younger my daddy used to always tell me and my little sisters not to ever bring a dark man home.
We never really paid any attention to him about that. I'm not what I would consider light nor dark but I always thought it was wrong for him to tell us that considering I have siblings on my other side of my family who were darker.
Needless to say my little sister ended up with a cute chocolate boy
(i love him) My boyfriend is my color. And my dad has seemed to have changed his thoughts.
Now he wants anyone who is about something and treats us well.(as it should be) I'm happy he changed his train of thought before my other two little sisters get old enough to have boyfriends.
As I posted in another forum, we are all black (african american? you decide). Individually we should embrace our differences (skin color, height, weight, hair, whatever). As a group we should also embrace and be proud of the differences. They make us unique individually and collectively.
