The Skin That We’re In…..
Lee Thomas,an anchor and entertainment reporter for the local Fox Broadcasting Company, suffers from vitiligo on national television.
I thought that I’d take the time to reflect on a matter that I find highly irritating. Mars & I were having a conversation recently about women and society in general when it comes to skin.
I find that society has given women of color a negative sense of self in regards to their complexion! This way of thinking goes back a long ways and is still existant today. This European mentality dates back even before the days of slavery.
Women of sepia complexion should automatically know that they are beautiful, regardless of what some magazine says. I asked Mars which would he prefer. He admitted that, at one time, he went through a phase of dating women that were “high yellow” followed by a phase of dating the ”mocha chocolate” skinned females. Sadly, this has been the mindset of millions of men for years and has caused women to go through drastic cosmetic changes such as makeup, eye color, hair, etc.
(i.e. Lil Kim)
Just my thoughts people..What do YOU think????
- VENUS
FYI, I admire women of ALL shapes and colors so don’t beat me up too hard y’all!! LOL
