This lightskin darkskin thing

This is kinda following on from the bleachers post.

This whole lightskin darkskin thing is so ridiculous I remember back in the day (when I never used to get chirpsed...yeah poor me) me and my 2 cousins 1 same complexion as me, the other is lightskin like real light, some dark breh came brushed past us to chirpse her, when she told him NO he was like 'I aint even sayin nuthin to you anywayz, the only reason I wanted to chat to you is cuz ur lightskin' I was like WOW! thats deep! and i will always remember that moment cuz I remember thinking to myself so he don't even think shes pretty he just wants her cuz shes light, so maybe thats why brehs don't like me, cuz i'm not light. It's only when I went to college and started to get more confident about myself and my look then I realized that brehs would notice me. So now I'm wondering if it really is a lightskin thing or is it cuz lightskin girls are more confident cuz they've been told they're beautiful from a young age?

Also why is it that people can't embrace their blackness why is it if you have 'good hair' you can't be 'full black' now both my mum and my dad had a crazy amount of hair so it's only natural that I'd av bare hair too, but because of this mixed in with the fact that i used to have tiny chiney eyes and then on top of that when I tan I look indian people would be confused about what colour I actually was and would then try convince me that I wasn't black. I used to be like my mums black my dads black I'm black. It's crazy cuz if I had caught the sun and came down to see my mum she would just look past me and I'd be like 'MUM!' and she'd be like I thought you was some little indian girl lol. But I found that people were more ready to accept me as a 'mixed' person than as a black girl with small eyes and long hair. It's really weird like why is it so out of the question for dark skin girls to be pretty and have all the sterotypical things that a sterotypical lightskin girl has.

So getting back to my lil story in the beginning, now when I see brehs (normally darkskin brehs) fallin over themselves to draw a lightskin girl I think to myself I wonder if he does actually fancy her or just her skin tone?
