People are so immature and so cruel. I just want you to realize that there is nothing wrong with your skin color. It is NOT ugly. In the slightest. In our culture white skin is constantly being praised. Not because it is better. But because in history black people were oppressed. So as a result. When you call one thing beautiful, by default you are automatically calling its opposite ugly. Does that mean it's true? HELL NO! Here. I'll prove it to you!

Now I know the media doesn't always SHOW you black beauty. I know when you turn on the music videos all of the women in the videos are light skinned... When you watch TV programs you don't see black people as often... And when you do they are light skinned... But honey. That's what the media wants you to think... They want you to think that there aren't beautiful people with dark skin. But. They're lying to you. And let me tell you something. I don't care how dark you are or how light you are. When someone is beautiful. It's undeniable. You can never deny beauty! So don't you worry about what they are saying about your skin color. The same thing happened to me! And you want to know what? As soon as I graduated... Those same people making fun of me... Were trying to ask me out! You're stronger than this. I promise you. You're stronger than this. You're beautiful. Your color is rich. Don't ever let anyone make you be ashamed of it. All of those models and actors and actresses I showed you. THEY WENT THROUGH IT TOO. And they kept telling themselves that they are beautiful. They are strong. They can make it. And they proved to the world... I know you can too. And If you want to lighten your skin. That's up to you. No one will look down on you. But I need you to KNOW that dark skin. IS beautiful. I can't wait to have a beautiful dark skinned son and daughter. I dream about it everyday. I dream about making sure that the media doesn't cloud their views. I dream about making sure that stupid kids at school don't cloud their views. Because black is so beautiful.
