Idk about you guys but seeing dark skin black girls hating on black girls isn’t affecting me *as* much. That’s what internalising behaviours/attitudes does. You begin to believe that whatever’s been said about you is true so you try to project your hurt onto others.
I’m not saying it’s right. But I understand.
Many of us black girls used to try so hard to show that we didn’t fit into the stereotypes. We’d be getting abused and we’d ‘LOOOOOOOL’ it off to make people think it wasn’t affecting us or that we were exempt from said insult.
Some of us would say ‘not all black girls are like that.. I’m not like that’ to prove ourselves to these guys. We didn’t want to feel like we weren’t good enough so we’d attempt to single ourselves out from those insults.
And at that point many of us black girls began to switch.
In some of our heads it was like ‘ok, black guys hate black girls? okay. Time to show how much I hate black girls too, maybe then they’ll think I’m different and accept me’.
Thats where it begins. The self hate tweets.

You’d see a black guy make jokes about how red lipstick is ugly on dark skin girls & how scary we look.
You then go and tweet how you’d never wear red lipstick.
Pick me’s. That’s what a lot of us were. No one wants to admit it and that’s fine.
