All skin if we want to believe it or not are different shades. Just because i am a shade darker than yours, does that make me worse. Please someone tell me I don't quite understand. Today, as I worked on my assignments for school, I see two high school boys walk by. The only reason why I looked their way was after hearing these words ,before their laughter, "I don't date black girls." Please be aware that discrimination is still out there.
