Are you trying to make me say Sorry!!!

Lately i have been hit by a load of questions and things have been popping up in my face all to do with the complexion of skin!!!

On FB ( facebook) 2 questions (insults) came flying in my direction.

1. 
   
   Men are more attracted to light skin woman..... and


2. 
   
   Light skin women think that they are nice and have big egos

I'm sorry but what the f**k is going on!!!

I remember this foolishness being around when i was a teen but i never thought these notions still existed. I totally understand the history of the 'light skin woman', but i can tell you now that i'm not favored ( well not in this country) over jobs, men or the bank manager because of the lightness of my skin.

I remember as a child my dad being ashamed of my complexion ( he is a very dark skinned man who came from a very light skinned woman!!) Whenever the sun came out he wanted me naked, beached whaled, lapping up the rays. My mum who is light skinned has got the most gorgeous broad nose eva and so would be excepted as black but with my straight nose bridge i didn't get off as lightly!! The lightness of my skin was not something that i really noticed untill others pointed it out to me. I was raised to believe that i was a black woman. ' Girl' my mum used to say "Your gonna have to work twice as hard in this life cos your black and a woman' she never once said ' Girl your light skin.. men will fall at your feet, jobs will come easy in fact just sit back, it will all come to you!!'

Why do i feel that i need to apologise for being a redder tone??

Why do i feel so angry when this s**t is brought up??

I still face rascism and rejection like everyone else. I even face confusion..

'Is she mixed?',

'Who's white your mum your your dad??'

'You know what girl for years i thought you were mixed race!!',

'Why are you locing up your hair i bet its pretty!!',

'Oh! i didn't know you had a son! Does he have green eyes??'

I repeat........... What the f**k!!!

The distressing part is that these questions or blatant displays of ignorance comes from my own black women

Talking to a lot of my friends who have a darker comlexion, ( i only have one friend who shares the same complexion as me and these same issues) they seem to have lifes where the colour is not an issue which amazes me eveytime i hear it. I know you may find this hard to believe but they have never been called a rasist name!!! I know i know baffling cos i have!!. There complexion has never been an issue, they have alot of acceptance and don't move in the circles where ignorance and bigotry is prolific. I suppose when your light skinned caucasions may feel that you are a part of them in some why and as a child can get close enough to insult...... i don't know i'm just pulling ideas out of the air!!

Listen up..... I am sure that in every race there are women and men who have big egos. Personally i do believe that the first person anyone needs to love is themselves.......or is that a LSW (light skinned woman) thing lol!!!

My granny used to say that 'there is a plaster for every sore' so im sure there are men out there who love woman from any and every race not just us LSW.

Well i for one is fed up with facing these prejudice comments from my own peeps

For those who have this negative and damaging thought process.... It' s time to fix up!!

I'm done with apologising!!!
