As you might have seen on Facebook, and twitter there is a party taking place and the theme is:
"teamlightskin vs.teamdarkskin"
Can you believe this. The party is set for January 21 and is supposed to have a big turn out.
This bother me because its seem like as a race we have been having this fight for years. I don't understand why we continue to fight over something some of us had no control over and that is pointless. What ever skin color, we all go through the same thing and have similar problems. We need to come together and stop growing apart over something like skin color. Are ancestors already had to fight a fight over this and it got better from there because we weren"t fighting each other, we were fight our oppressors.
This topic reminds me of a few things that I have seen:
School Daze. College students fighting each becasue of there shade of black. The women even argued over the better hair type:
Something else that this makes me think of is the movie Imitation of Life. It's about this girl who is as white at snow but her biological mother is black. She doesn't want to except that she is black, so she lies and pretends to be white and shames her mother. It is a good movie and comes in a black and white version as well as a colored version. Both are very good and are a must see.
All in all I think any shade of black is beautiful, it's not about our color but how we represent ourselves in our color. Do you have a problem with your skin color or do you love your shade?
