Bi-racial Women Who hate Their Other Side

@ mimi08AND FOR THE RECORD, BLACK PEOPLE ARE THE WORSE WHEN IT COMES TO BEING PREJUDICE CAUSE WE ARE THE MOST PREJUDICE PEOPLE AMONG OUR OWN RACE. LIGHT SKIN DARK SKIN ISSUE REMAINS TILL THIS DATE IN 2008! ALOT OF BLACKS STILL THINK BEING LIGHTER IS BETTER; SOME WON’T OPENLY SAY IT, AND WILL DENY IT’S EXISTENCE AND PLAY STUPID WHEN ASKED ABOUT IT.

We are our own worst enemy. I can identify with the girl who said she was 100% black (not to me by looking at her) but she did state what has happened to me over and over again. PPl do think that because you are light that you think you are cute and better than them. I have only been me and this is not a rude, arrogornat or otherwise statement from me but my experience. I was told that “I thought you would be “stuck up” or “think you were better than me”. I was judged by the color of my skin but knowing I am black and saying I am black, I am not “albio, high yellor(yes I meant to say “yellor”)percilan white like Nicole Kidman. My skin is pale white and for all the sistas with dark skin some of us light skin woman wish we were darker. My husband did or still has to explain my “being white” and them thinking he married a white woman. Yes my skin is white, when I tan to make ppl accept me more I only burn like a red headed step child. Only a man who is looking for a specific race in a mate is only going to seek out that race/skin color of a woman in his selection pool. A real man is not looking for a “trophy wife” but a mate a partner a wife. What I see that I don’t like is for a woman to judge me and think that I am stuck up without giving me the time of day. I later learned that same statement “once I got to know you I liked you”. How can my white looking skin and me telling them I am black makes me feel more self unassured than they are by looking at me as a stuck up person. I am prejudged before I even get to say one word. The color of ones skin should not have anything to do with the knowlege in their brain/mind. I have never tried to be either black or white but just be true to me. I am both and then some. Women try too hard to out do other women. Being I know this I don’t work for a woman or don’t have any co workers. I get tired of “drama”. Of course I love the SR fam. we are what we are. I am not afraid of competing, don’t get me wrong. I am too old for back stabbing. I can be the “girly girl” at work or play their game and dress in a pant suit(for a meeting) women are in a race with other women. I don’t care what one thinks, it is true , it is still a “white mans world” and even with a black President Elect going to Washington we who look black are black and claim to be black have a long way to go. Some of us can’t even get along with each other because of “jealousy, identity or I moved to the burbs and my kids go to private school and now I am being called an Uncle Tom by my own ppl”. Ppl of any color can’t even unite at a funeral. They want to know what was in “the will” for them. As I said in a different post. We are not owed anything but “death and taxes’. that is a true guarantee/promise.
To conclude my comment. black skin is beautiful and I can tan until the sun never goes down. my skin may be redneck tan for a day or a week but my skin will never be the beautiful dark color that I am seeking. Why is it easy to turn/bleach your skin light but hard to turn it black it ,your pigment will not allow it. Do so many ppl want to be light and their is a bleach cream/chemical peel but not one on the opposite spectrium of wanting to be dark. I know there is the sun, tanning beds, and things that make you orange. I want dark beautiful skin, not orange and skanky, ugly looking
