If you are easily offended..........

First of all, I would like to make it clear that this is not a post bashing light-skinned people or anyone for that matter. We were all created equally, it's the things we believe that make us what we become.

Now that that's out of the way........down to business.

I can identify with this video in the sense that I do go through some of what they're talking about, but as far as me ever wanting to change my skin color, i'm happy to say that as long as I can remember i've never wanted to do that, i've never wanted to change my skin. Yea, when I was younger and didn't know any better I would get sad because some people wouldn't accept/like me and found me unattractive because of my skin color, but as I grew up and learned why some people think like that the less I gave a fuck about their opinion because to me, they're just simple minded. I actually pity them because they've been brainwashed and some of them don't even know it. Take this however the fuck you want to, but white people are some of the most ingenious and manipulative motherfuckers on this planet. I'm talking about they fucking manipulate entire races and we just sit back and let them, and when it comes to them manipulating us into thinking that the physical traits that are unique to us are ugly and unworthy those motherfuckers are running true to form............and so are we because once again we believe that shit is ok until it really starts fucking with us. Most of the white people i've met, especially living in georgia, have this attitude like they're superior to every other race especially blacks and that's the bullshit they feed to us via the media. We sit here and let them tell us that our people, OUR PEOPLE are physically unattractive unless we have different color eyes or silky straight hair, or any of the physical traits that are unique to THEIR race. I've seen black people put down the same physical features that THEY HAVE. I've seen black men and women refuse to have partners within the race THEY ARE because they feel like that race is unworthy........What kind of bullshit is that? But why do we do it? Because television, magazines, internet, tells us that we need to look more white to be considered beautiful, we are being manipulated by them and some of us don't even realize.  If this sounds like ignorance to you, ask yourself, who runs the media? what the fuck does the media say about people who are darker? what are these young men and women being taught about darker skin tones by the things they say on television and these so called "voices of the future"? "Beautiful black woman I bet that bitch look better red" Really Wayne? I'm not a racist person and i'm not hating on light-skinned people or anyone for that matter,  i'm just speaking on the shit i've noticed since I came to america. I'm being so real right now because I know yall expect me to say some shit like beauty is within you and all that morally correct bullshit but there are people that are ugly and physically unattractive to me and your skin tone has nothing to fucking do with it. There are ugly white people, black people, indian people, hispanics, asians, and so on and so forth. No entire fucking race escaped without some of the members getting beat with the ugly stick. Kierra, the other co-founder of dopeXchange is one of the most beautiful young women I know, has nothing to do with the fact that she's light-skinned. Tiny is one of the ugliest women i've ever seen, has nothing to do with the fact that she's light skinned. Naomi Campbell is one of the sorriest excuses for a human being i've ever seen, has nothing to do with the fact that she's dark-skinned, and I am one of the most beautiful people to myself and I don't condemn myself because of my dark skin tone. Those women in that video can sit there and let people fill their heads up with all this bullshit if they want to but I value myself far too much to ever let someone tell me that my silky soft dark skin isn't beautiful, bitch cuz I know it is. Honestly, I don't think shit will ever change because that mentality is so much apart of us and it is being fed to us every day, but if what I just wrote doesn't at least make you think about your place in the world as a person and who decides it, then there is nothing more I can really do for you.
