God help the child by Toni Morrison.

Pros: amazing writing, constant examples of colorism in every day life, shows how colorism from a parent can stay with a child growing up, the best book I've ever read

Cons: none

Warnings: there's a lot of child sexual abuse in here and brief scenes of violence between characters, so keep that in mind if you decide to give it a go please!

I'm tired of having to look for "good lighting" before I take a picture. This is me. I am not bitter, nor am I upset for being dark, I'm just proud, if you feel otherwise then you need to check yourself.

0 days since last colorist nonsense

i dead ass dont know how to convince you that thinking all girls with dark skin are ugly isnt a "preference"

please stop trying to convince me that you're a victim of colorism when you have light skin

my mom said we're not allowed to be friends because you only have half a brain cell left and think colorism is just dark skinned girls being "sad" guys "don't want to smash" :/

@ all y'all who think "we're all black to white folks" and try to dismiss colorism because of that Wrong belief

... Then why the fuck they separate us during slavery? Why were enslaved people with dark skin out in the field and enslaved people with light skin in the house?? If they really can't see different shades of black how could they do that???
