Ugh, it just seems like Black men don't like Black women no more. I'm only 16 and I hear young black boys saying white girls are "prettier, smarter, and nicer", I fell hurt because most of the blakc guys want to date the gringas instead of the black girls. And a lot of the guys at my school say that I'm pretty but I'm too dark. What's wrong with us? Non-black guys never pay me any attention and they act as if all bkack women are ugly.

LOL at your question. I understand it can be demoralizing, especially at your age. It's hard when all the images of beautiful women exclude the darker toned females. Just keep your head up and brace yourself with Maya Angelou's Phenomenal Woman.
You have the power to defy these damaging stereotypes about black (in particular dark) women by carrying yourself gracefully.
Just relish your skin color. I am not ashamed to admit, I LOVE MY SKIN. Because of my genes and their interaction with the environment (e.g. the climate), I'm amazed to see my hue change from mocha/chestnut to mahogany red/burnt sienna to a slightly dull bronze BACK TO MOCHA/CHESTNUT AGAIN. No tanning bed needed.
Believe me, human beings are still slaves to conditioned societal norms. There are more black boys (and boys of different ethnicities) checking on you than you know. If not, my friend tells me that Nordic men like their chocolate, so you might want to relocate! :)

all people have the ability to have beauty.it comes from the heart not the skin.most of todays young black men are racist.it is a coquest to use a white girl if things get ugly,like child support,they can kick the white girl to the curb.a black girl will come after him nonblack guys dont pay attention because most live in homes where they are held responsable for there actions.would biracial children have a hard life because of there skin.you should know. think about it

This trend started long before you were born but has taken off in recent years.
The mixed race thing going on now is not just a black and white issue but involves hispanic and asian as well.

A gringa is a rude term for a foreign woman in Latin America, especially an American woman, which includes black women. Gringas have nothing to do with your problem. By "nicer" black guys mean that blacks girls have attitude. I've overheard black girls talk to their boyfriends in a way that I wouldn't speak to my dog, let alone someone I cared for.

Don't worry about black men; screw them if they don't like you for artificial reasons, you know you're worth (don't you?)
Right now the black guys you know belong in a field picking cotton
