[Bernadette]

This is just a comment, not any sort of explanation. As an artist I've got plenty of names for skin color and spend hours studying the wondrous variations, mixing my pastels and watercolors or challenging my pencils and charcoal to express the tones, comparing people to fruits and vegetables, rocks and clouds...without judgement. If we all looked the same I'd be bored silly and where would be the challenge? I'd like to think that everyone saw things this way, but I knew even as I read the question what the real answer was. I can only hope that my simple honest expression of visual inspiration will help others to see that we are all beautiful, and that differences among us are necessary and good. Of course, I'm white and can never know the burden of judgement beyond my own control.
