Why are dark‑skinned Black women still so devalued and mistreated?

[Glittershine1]

When I was a child, I was bullied gor my skin colour a lot, for being a country girl, a good person and not behaving how a black girl should (whatever that means).

I also met famous actors from London and America but they did some bad things to me because I was black so that I felt inferior to those who were white, fairer skin, gay and men.

I've never verbally hurt anyone when I was a child unless they hurt me first.

I just don't understand why people think it's mentally okay to hurt black women both mentally and physically so that we hate ourselves to a point that we become a bitter person, turn physco/crazy, commit suicide, become anxious, hate on others or become an evil person.

If people were raised and educated better by their elders, instead of being told lies about black people, then none if these thing would happen.

I just want to be happy and to be seen as beautiful and desirable as a white and fairer skin woman.

I just want to be loved, respected and acceptable just like everybody else in this world.

I didn't ask God to be black. As a soul I ask God to be White I really did. But instead he made me black. It's not fair.

I wish the world was a better place to live on.

I just want happiness and world peace.

It's wrong for not accepting yourself as a black person, you are a human being just like everyone else, i'm white and your're black, so what? You people in the western world make a big deal out of it and spread this hate worldwide!

To me, all the people out there in the world are equal, no one is allowed to bully you!

The conception that you have about god is wrong, because god doesn't look at your color or race or gender, he looks at your soul and your actions!

It's either you're good or bad, as simple as that!

[Glittershine1]

Because we what the amount same equally, love, respect, attention and opportunities like white people.

We also want people to stop seeing us so negatively because we look we look different.

And I've always been a very good person actually!

[TonyMetal___86]

That's what matters, your rights should be like everyone else, it's a shame that you need to ask for your rights from white people because in my opinion we all have the same right or should have the same rights, there are no second class human beings, we are all the same!

[Glittershine1]

Thank you for understanding!

[TonyMetal___86]

You're welcome

I think the darker a black woman is the more I'm attracted to her.

[Glittershine1]

what makes black people they're always the only ones suffering from racism?

I grew up being picked on by black and hispanics for being Asian.

Plenty of people go through racism. Not just you.

I'm tired of people like you acting like racism is purely only a black problem and that you are special

[Glittershine1]

BECAUSE BLACK PEOPLE GET BULLIED MORE OFTEN THAN EVERY OTHER RACE FOR BEING DIFFERENT- THE CHOSEN ONES!

@glittershine1

that's definitely not true. Asians are the ones that get bullied the most but yet nobody speaks about it.

Plus, black people behave themselves soo poorly which is why they get shot and killed by police so much. Black people kill each other more than any other race.

The only thing black people know how to do is to run a pity party. Make other people feel sorry for you, like you are always the victim.

Like you all can't get ahead in life... yea... you had a black president, black politicians. And you still complaining about how you are still in a disadvantage.

Get your act together and life will straighten out.

[Glittershine1]

ACTUALLY Asians DON'T GET BULLIED MORE THAT BLACK PEOPLE AND THAT IS ALSO NOT TRUE!

YOUR ANCESTORS WEREN'T SLAVES FOR 400 YEARS, SEGREGATED FOR 60 YEARS, SILENCED FOR SPEAKING THEIR MIND, WATCHING THEIR CHILDREN GET KILLED OFF ETC.

AND WE LIVED AND WORK AMONG WHITE PEOPLE LONGER THAN YOUR RACE!

SO IF Asian PEOPLE GET DISCRIMINATED ITS BECAUSE YOU ARE FORIEGN AND REFUSE TO FIT IN AND FUNCTION WITH BLACK AND WHITE PEOPLE BECAUSE YOU HATE DIVERSITY- YOU CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS!

BARACK OBAMA IS MIX RACE BY THE WAY! SO THAT DOESN'T COUNT AS BEING PURELY BLACK FOR YOUR INFORMATION!

AND BEING BLACK CAN SOMETIMES BE AND DEPRESSING HARD! BUT YOU WOULDN'T REALISE THST BECAUSE YOU ARE TOO Asian TO KNOW OR CARE ABOUT US!

I'M British BLACK UK- CARIBBEAN AND I DON'T BEHAVE POORLY AND ARE LAWS ARE DIFFERENT WHEN IT COMES TO RACE AND DIFFERENCES IN THE UK COMPARED TO AMERICA!

BUT UNFORTUNATELY, THERE ARE SOME IGNORANT PEOPLE WHO ARE STILL STUCK IN THEIR OLD WAY IN THE UK AS WELL.

SO THERE YOU HAVE IT. YOU DONT WHERE MY SKIN TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WE SOMETIMES HAVE TO GO THROUGH!

WE ARE ALSO TIRED OF SOME YOU WHITE AND FAIRER SHOWING OFF YOUR SKIN COLOUR, JOBS, MONEY AND LIFESTYLES ON THE MEDIA TO MAKE BLACK PEOPLE LOOK AND SOUND BAD!

SO GO AND EDUCATE YOURSELF AND STI0 ACTING LIKE YOU DESERVE BETTER BLACK PEOPLE BECAUSE YOU DON'T TOU RACIST LOWER CLASS CUNT!

[Kvass]

The real problem is that Black people don't love themselves. As long as you're not a jerk, nobody excludes you. you guys just like to take everything personally.

[Glittershine1]

Because black are also human and we have feelings too.

[Glittershine1]

And words hurt.

[exitseven]

. I dont know why. Its messed up. When I was in college I met a girl who was black but she had lighter skin. She told me that her father did not let her date anyone who was darker than she was. I thought that was really messed up.

[Glittershine1]

Because her father is jealous and obviously believes that white and fairer skin men and more successful in life because of their fair appearance, therefore they can make her happy- He has a slavery mentality.

[exitseven]

Maybe, it was a long time ago but it really gave e me something to think about

[Glittershine1]

Don't worry about it.

[exitseven]

Like I say, it was a long time ago.

[strateguy632]

well when you try to incite hate. you know...

[Glittershine1]

Speak your mind please.

[Anonymous]

Have seen many ugly black girls be mean to fair skin girls. You are jealous as fuck

[Glittershine1]

IF BLACK WOMEN WERE TREATED FAIRLY AND EQUALLY AS FAIRER SKIN WOMEN WE WOULDN'T BULLY THEM OR BE JEALOUS OF OTHERS!

AND BLACK WOMEN ARE NOT UGLY! AND CONSIDERING WHITE WOMEN DON'T HAVE A SKIN COLOUR, THAT MAKES YOU GUYS THE UNATTRACTIVE ONES YO7 RACIST IGNORANT FUCK!

[Anonymous]

Self pity much?

[Glittershine1]

Clarify?
