Things that inspire me.

I’m so tired of colorism in the Black Community

Light-skinned people seriously need to learn, bit by bit, day by day, to check their fucking privilege and decolonize their minds. And if ya’ll are ever caught being stuck up and flaunting your privilege, you deserve to be called on it. Evolve or die. No questions asked. No if’s, and’s or but’s about it.

Medium-toned people need to stop pulling this “I hate darks and lights equally” bullshit, because y’all have a fucking problem as well, being brown but not light or dark. Stop sitting on the fence in the discussion of colorism amongst our people. You are a part of this. And you can either evolve or die. No if’s, and’s or but’s about it.

Dark-skinned people, having no privilge in this arena, we need to learn to love ourselves more and more, but not make the mistake of turning our self-love into hatred of light-skinned people, and be called on our hatred if need be. Evolve or die. No questions asked. No if’s, and’s or but’s about it.

I care not for the color of your skin. If you’re Black, you’re Black. Being Black is an ethnocultural identity, not a Litmus Test for how dark or light your skin is. That being said, I like men of all shades. I like ‘em light-bright-damn-near white, yellow, redbone, blue-black, vaseline brown, high brown, tar-black, butterscotch, caramel—ALL OF IT. A dick is a dick. And as long as this dick belongs to a Man of Color, I’m gon’ wrap my lips around it.

I like this post.
