Talking to my baby sister & you niggas that went to KZN high schools really have no idea how many insecurities you CREATED in black girls. Especially dark skins. I wish you knew how many YEARS it takes us to get over those comments you made & finally believe that we are beautiful
Do you understand the self hatred one feels to find and use ANY product like will make your skin lighter? Besides the creams, I used to buy these rocks that you crush and mix with water and scrub your face with hoping it would lighten my skin
Never mind the fact that I was A CHILD that just wanted to play sports and be normal, but I constantly was worried about how many minutes I spent in the sun because “omg I’m gonna burn”. I know girls that literally didn’t play outdoor sport because of this. That’s someone health.
& the funniest part is that as soon as you leave high school black girls are suddenly attractive to you & of course we get all excited because finally you’re giving us some attention. After we’ve convinced ourselves we like “ugly boys” bc that’s the best way to avoid rejection.
This is why I HATE people telling me I’ve “glowed up” since high school because actually I look exactly the same, you just never took the time to see past my dark skin and instead always over looked me for the nearest “yellow bone”
I don’t often rant like this on Twitter & I NEVER talk about my journey getting through this insecurity but I AM SO ANGRY that my innocent, kind, beautiful little sister has to go through it too and no matter how many times I tell her she’s gorgeous, she’ll never believe me bc...
...some STUPID FUCKING LITTLE SHIT that she likes made a joke and embarrassed her about something she cannot change. I’m so emotional rn I can’t even breath.
