Light Skinned

Sat, 06/23/2018 - 20:02 -- niq-niq

Yes, the color of my skin is a few shades lighter than the typical "black girl"

No, I do not consider myself  'lightskin'

Contrary to what half of the population believes the color of my skin is not an explination for my behavior

Yes, I ignore messages and take some time to reply

No, its not because my skin is less pigmented 

Yes, I like to pamper myself and look presentable

No, I do not feel superior to the people with more melanin in their skin

I am not a color or a shade

I am a girl with a personality that people do not accept

Yes, I look like a different race

No, I do not appreciate being judged by my skin color
