"I may be on “light” or “brown” side of the spectrum to some people, but I am ALWAYS here to defend dark-skinned black women. So don’t you fucking dare tell me “why do you care, you’re not even dark. You should be happy we ain’t talking bout you”. Dark-skinned women have been getting shit on and dehumanized literally for centuries and it’s still as rampant in present day society, go on twitter for fucking Christ’s sake and see what people think about dark-skinned black women. Colorism exists in every aspect of society, all throughout the world in PoC countries, especially in my own fucking family. Although we don’t share the EXACT same struggles as black women, you are still my sisters and I’ll gladly fight any colorist self hating coon or racist fucker that says you aren’t beautiful enough or unworthy. Fuck them and rise."
