im half black and half white, so as a result, i am light skin. i have black friends and some tell me they wish they were light like me. i dont even like being this light. i like the sun cuz it gives me a tan. i prefer to be brown skin. its beautiful to me. there's nothing wrong with light, but why be light if you're brown or black. i look in the mirror everyday and wonder why i cant be darker. when i was younger, my brown skinned friends tells all of us not to put on baby oil before going in the sun because it would darken our skins. i didnt know how true that was, but i started doing that everyday and i still do it up to this point. i dred the winter because its hard to get sun.
i still wonder what's so good about light skin. im not criticizing light skin. its nice too, but in my opinion, i prefer the tanner and brown look. why do some black women want to be light. its not that great. ppl like me have to worry more about skin cancer. i wish i didnt have to worry about that.
