What Is Wrong With Being Black?? by Nobody: 6:37pm On Oct 14, 2016
Few days ago,I took I'll and I was forced to see our family doctor, on getting to the pharmacy,I saw the doctor and his daughter of about nine years old "you know how this butty kids look bigger than their age".She was excited to see me cos I gist a lot with her and thinking I am my younger sister (cos she thinks we are d same ) ,she asked me why I am now light skinned.I told her its probably because of the stress attached to my Internship program and working under the scotching sun,she was like "OK....ay".She then said the last time she saw my I was dark like her that was when it dawn on me that she couldn't different me from my younger sister cos we have the same physique but different complexion, I am a bit fair and she is dark.
The next statement that dropped out of this little girl's mouth was "She is not beautiful".I asked her why she said so,she said its because she is not light skinned and that when she grows up,she will buy cream that will make her light skinned.I was speechless...........I thought of what to say and then I told her that,being black is best because when she becomes fair, she won't be able to walk in the sun.She felt quite convinced





My Question is,how else can we convince kids that Black rocks?

Her parents should be held responsible. How can a little girl be so aware of light skin is synonymous to beauty?

you need to tell her that the colour of her skin can not stop her from becoming a suceessfull person
make her focus on how to be a successful person by building quality "inside her" and not outside

blacks have achieved just anything any white or light skinned have

show her role model:
example among the ten most successfull black women in Africa you find

Folorunsho Alakija
Famfa Oil Executive Director, Alakija is the second-richest businesswoman on the continent and reportedly the richest woman in Nigeria with an estimated net worth of $1,7 billion (R25,2 billion), according to the Forbes list of Africa’s 50 Richest People.

A formally trained fashion designer and a household name in Nigeria, Alakija landed her big break in 1993 when her company was awarded an oil prospecting licence.

She grew her business into an entity that now owns around a 60% share of Nigeria’s oil block.

Alakija was ranked 80th on the latest Forbes’ Most Powerful Women in the World list.

In 2008 she founded the Rose of Sharon Foundation that supports widows and orphans in Nigeria, and she regularly gives public talks advising women on how to best manage the work-life balance.

ITS THE CONTENT IN HER that matters most

Re: What Is Wrong With Being Black?? by Nobody: 9:24am On Oct 15, 2016
I've always loved dark skin. There is this flawless look to it that you really can't describe. I remember asking my mum years back if there was something that could darken my skin. grin Lol.

Kids these days are exposed to the discriminatory media that sells them the "perfect" beauty image. It's so annoying.

if you were here where I am right now, looking at what is happening you will know that there is something wrong with dark skin, light skin girls being favoured over dark skin. even we Africans don't like darks skin and we blame whites when they treat us wrongly for our color. ..smh

Michelle Obama... a picture is worth more than a million words. Kids only need to know who she is... they'll register it's ok to be Black ... and it's ok to have their natural hair.... two major esteem issues facing our women. @little girl.... I don't blame her. To convince her... Google some of the graphic pictures of bleaching gone wrong... or the effects of bleaching..... she'll get the message.
Re: What Is Wrong With Being Black?? by brymocool(m): 11:57am On Oct 15, 2016
The thing is that some people believe light skinned would make them look beautiful than being dark whereas they fail to know that maintaining their dark skinned makes them natural and black beauty. Black skinned is the best indeed

If thats u on ur profile, i agree u re cute but nt everyone with a choco skin tone is cute. Same goes to other skin tones.

The girl in question might just be straight up ugly nd too big, hence her feeling of insecurity
Nd typical, feeling she will get a pass if she was light
