It's one of those days...

…that I inexplicably wake up feeling down and with tears in my eyes

…that my hands are itching to text you

…on which all the memories of the good times we had come over me all at once, making me cry

…on which all the pain you caused me makes me curl up and go completely quiet

…on which I realize you’re the only one who can make the pain stop. Or make it worse

…that I can’t stop wondering if you’re also thinking of me

…that I wonder if you’ve moved on, and to whom, and will she get all the parts of you that I never did?

…that I’m angry we couldn’t work it out

…that I think back on our last conversation, where we told each other we’d always be the loves of each others’ lives

…on which my heart breaks all over again

Those lightskinned women who don’t let their sons bring dark skin women home, who teach that shit because they don’t want dark skin grandkids.

Those lightskinned women who start whole threads subliminally dissing dark skin users on here, we see you.

Those lightskinned women who don’t have any friends darker than paper bags. I see you boo.

Those dark skinned women who don’t hang with other dark skin girls because it looks “dirty” (I actually was told this one time), I see you. 

Those dark skinned women who don’t say anything when they’re unconventional dark skin sisters are being slammed.

Black women who shame the nerdy dark skin men. 

Black women who only date lightskinned/White men for light/mixed kids.

Black women who remain quiet as fuck when the subject of colorism doesn’t affect them.

Let’s talk about the Arab/Trans Indian Ocean Slave Trade because if we’re going to insist on PoC solidarity we must confront our past. Peace be with all the coloniser and enslaved Africans and their descendants.

This Lady tells us an awful story of how she was embarrassed , while buying groceries in the store by a racist woman, whose prejudice ruined a day in her and her daughter’s life. Unfortunately, this story is no surprise for black people, they face something like this too often, but there is one thing this story can teach us.

White people, with their “privilege” to be taken as the good ones can break the wall of prejudice and racism teaching others about tolerance and equality.

Oh, look, it’s my life. I’m the pale skinned one. 

So if you ever wonder why it is I get so tired of racist drivel, well… now you know.

“This Lady” is Dr. Joy DeGruy, author I’d Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome, @blackmatterus.

Give her the respect of learning her name, and looking into her groundbreaking, transformative work.
