I few weeks ago I was at a dinner with a good friend of mine, Lexi, celebrating a birthday. One of the conversation topics that arose was the topic of light skin vs dark skin. We had a few different perspectives and opinions that stroke up good debates and insights. With that being said, I stumbled upon one of my Youtube subscribers videos’ that happened to discuss the same topic. Well…I of course took the initiative to share the video with Lexi for the simple fact that he was a bit obtrude in his proposal of his opinions.
Here was Lexi’s response:


“I agree and disagree with this man. First, we cannot be ignorant to the fact the shade prejudice exists. It is real and it is a fact. At the same time, I agree that dark skinned women with natural hair, etc need to stop lamenting over the fact that no one wants them. At the same time the women celebrating #teamdarkskin or #teamlightskin needs to stop too. What are you proving being #teamdarkskin or #teamredbone. I hate that. I hate it with a deep burning passion!
But like the man said, it’s all about preferences. I go out with my friends who are lighter and darker than me. I’ve went out and guys have gone for my darker skinned friend. Then I go out with my lighter skinned friend and the guys seem to be going for her. Or sometimes a guy meets both me and my light skinned friend and don’t know who the hell to choose. Then I’ve had times where we both meet a guy and he starts talking to us both in a casual conversation and realizes he likes one personality over the other.
Although, I know that shadism exists I wish that women would look beyond that even if men won’t. Let’s stop subjecting ourselves to negativity. At the same time I wish I could tell girls that the light skin/dark skin debate is irrelevant because any educated man worth having you won’t care about a woman’s skin color. It’s the young and/or ignorant fueling this debate. And I agree with this man let the topic rest. Be you and be confident. Confidence is beautiful and best yet…confidence has no shade.
Stop fueling the effing ignorance! And that goes to all those supposedly self-righteous naturals, weave wearers, lighter skinned and darker toned women.”
