And mind you, what annoys me more is that this is a country which is first to cry 'racism' about other countries.

Light skinned girls are always considered much prettier than us darker ones. what makes me even more upset is when they start complaining that Westerners can be racist; i always tell them we are racist within our own nationality based on the shade of our skins. I like my chocolate skin and although it was difficult at first, i've grown to accept it. <br /><br />The only time i would ever consider anything to fade my complexion is if i'm trying to get rid of a scar i have from an injury or acne<br /><br />xo StephanieStephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06205596295886059979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8446130126915697854.post-6501643316540797312011-07-19T20:37:05.279+05:302011-07-19T20:37:05.279+05:30@Natasha
