Since when did beauty become synonomous with light skin? I know plenty of unnatractive women that happen to be light (in and out of the industry). I also know ebony-skinned women that happen to be gorgeous. Most dark women are gorgeous. Most of them have FLAWLESS skin. Most of them have OUTSANDING features (there bone structure is sick!). They DON'T NEED alot of MAKE-UP. They are NATURAL beauties. There are alot of very pretty light-skinned women in this world;but most of them can't hold a candle to my chocolate Queens. I'm sorry. Some people may get upset with me for saying this but light skin is over-rated. I can say this,since I have semi-light skin (I'm not high-yellow though,I'm a golden brown). I know that none of us can help what skin we are born in,but this color war that we've been waging since the dawn of time is really getting old. God adorned women with beauty;and that beaty consist of things more important than the color of her skin. Try looking into her eyes. Try noticing her smile. Listen to the way she laughs. The way she walks. Try telling her how beautiful she is because of who she is,not what she looks like. Just because we live in a shallow world doesn't mean we have to be shallow. Don't let this jacked up industry define what's beautiful. They get it wrong ALOT. We are all fearfully and wonderfully made. TO ALL MY LIGHT-SKINNED SISTERS. I know I was a little hard on you. Please know that I love you all too. I just think it's important to tell deep-brown women how stunning they are. They've been given the short end of the stick for a very long time. Even you would have to agree.
