Reply To: Skin color and comfort levels

#34534

I am a very dark-complected black woman. I have always felt that the shade of my skin affected black people a whole lot more than any other race. I’m an attractive woman and so have had many black men say stupid things to me, like, ‘You’re pretty for a such a dark girl.’ For me, that’s the easiest way for a man to get a blow-off. I hate it. I wonder if being light is an automatic equal to being pretty to some black men. I hope that my son will not have this problem, and I try to make sure he knows that skin color is a poor sign of character and intelligence. I am very comfortable with people of all shades, but I do feel that a lot of black people are not.
