"You cute...for a dark skinned girl"

 
(me n my old friend Kandey in 2007)


i was just now reminded of this line i used to hear too many times...

"You cute...for a dark skinned girl"

yeah?? and may i ask what the hell is that supposed to mean? cuz im dark skinned im supposed to be ugly and ashy??? why cant i just be cute? Fortunately...i dont give a damn about stuff like that anymore. i love my chocolateness! i just never understood. 

You never hear:

"You cute...for a light skinned girl..."

i guess light skinned girls are just "expected" to be cute. so if they stumble upon a busted light skinned girl...do they say..."she ugly...for a light skinned girl"? 
hmmm...

  2. I personally hate when people use that line like wtf. Dark skinned girls are beautiful...just like any other skin tone. Color doesn't matter. Beauty is beauty...smh.

  4. i think they definitely would say (to their friends): she's ugly for a light-skinned girl.

    i know white guys who would some times say (not to me--just in general): she's pretty for a black girl.

    so yeah....why can't we all just be pretty! haha
