For saying I’m light skinned
So I commented under a tweet about lightskin representing darkskin but it doesn’t really matter.
I said I was lightskin and everyone was angry bc I’m “darkskin” I will say I edit my pictures like any other woman who is pale and add saturation. But here is my problem
They said I was brown, I reiterated by saying all black people are brown and I’m just a lighter shade of such color. It started ww3 . I got backlash for going to a window to show my true skin color which in turn made it seem like I tried to lighten my self but I wasn’t, I thought when determining skin the sun was the best natural light tool…
Now I’m not biracial light but a caramel golden light which to meant I was lighter than an average black person there for making me light skinned. Someone continued to point out my hyperpigmentation on my finger which any person of color can have.
I just don’t believe in there being a “brown skin” if we are literally all different shade of brown and the. Comes in lighter v darker shade…
So am I the asshole for considering my self on the lighter side. Picture in comments.
