As a darkish black man I had the pressure of wanting to be lighter when growing up, partly cos of the predominantly white area I grew up in. Also my friends of colour were mixed race/biracial and they admit to me they had issues cos of the rejection from their white side. I suffered emotional abuse. Since the age of 16ish I started to be confident and since becoming a christian and asking Yahweh Himself about racism and getting His 100% acceptance, I know black is beautiful. I feel for the dark skinned women like Kelly, I have seen some stunners in my time and I love them. I feel the pain of those overlooked as I can identify with it. I think men (especially black men) who prefer lighter skinned women have been conditioned so, probably with strong links to slavery and colonialism and a lot of media pressure. God has no favourites which means He finds you as beautiful as your white, or hispanic or whatever counterparts. If the world doesn't see it, they're blind, but I see it and I love it. Stay strong sisters and encourage women to feel valued for their inner and external beauty.

I am 5'11 which is fairly tall for a girl, I have deep chocolate colored skin, I have thick thighs, a plump ass, very long legs, big boobs, long eyelashes, and silky long hair. There are inperfections on me such as the stretch marks on my belly from having kids, a few scars here and there, cellulite on my butt, thighs, and stomach, and a lil flab. There are a number of things that I could dwell on and be unhappy about. But you know what, I am first of all stunning, I have a great personality, a beautiful smile, long pretty hair and eyelashes, and unique features. Some would consider me too tall for a girl, some would consider me super model height. Some men prefer lighter skinned girls, but I can honestly say, I have gotten many compliments on my chocolate skin color. At the end of the day my goal is to be as small as I can by keeping my weight down, as sexy as I can be by dressing super cute and chic and wearing things that compliment my long legs, curves, fits neat, and represents me. I keep my fingernails and toenails neat, polished, and mani/pedi cured. And, I wear make up and Mac Lipglass, LOL, not cause I wanna appear fake, but I like to even my skin tone on my face and enhance my beauty. Believe it or not feeling beautiful, being tasteful (if you know what that is), and being yourself confidently is what makes you look better than the next girl, light skinned or dark!

It hurts me so bad to hear that a woman does not know her true beauty! Thats what makes our race so beautiful. We are all so different n variety of skin color. I am a dark skinned young lady. I attend college, and every since I went to elementary, I was the darkest one in my classroom. I still am. I was teased, bullied, hurt, because I was to dark for someone to get to know me. Those same girls that teased me, and said I was to dark, they are the same peolpe who needs make up every time they walk out the house or buy hair to keep from seeing thier true self. I show myself as a beautiful black girl, no make up, or anything. I do not dress myself of anything that will make me feel fake. God made me as part of an image of him. And that to me is true beauty!

Black is beautiful. Our skin is so smooth. Light skin black ppl are beautiful also but Dark skin ppl need to realize that being lighter won't make you any more beautiful. Black is Beautiful. Big up to Tina Knowles to give Kelly that confidence. Jamaica in the building. Yup that’s wat I’m taking about. Black is beautiful. Our skin is so smooth.

I will admit not "all " dark girls are ridiculed but many damn sure are! I am a dark black female and my life has been hard. Many people "claim" I am very pretty but I have yet to feel it. Imagine everyday feeling isolated, ignored, rejected, passed over for promotion, not getting invited to parties, always feeling like the 3rd wheel when you go out with "lighter" friends, etc. That is how my life has been and it has gotten worse as Ive gotten older oddly. I am very nice, well spoken to the point ppl say i act "white", I'm always well dressed and etc and it all seems to no avail. It hurts extremely bad when you keep experiencing the same thing over & over & over & over & over and especially within the black community! Its easier said than done to accept yourself in the midst of blatant hatred.
