Obinna,

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and story. Never apologize for that. I am grateful you read my words.

As you mentioned(and I agree), colorism is far reaching. The prison bae definitely got an easy ride ,and he was cruel to his white gf! It’s crazy how many passes men like him get.

Its almost like cognitive dissonance in Black men because they see how they are targeted for their black skin, but treat the women who look like them like trash.

I tried to come up with Black women in general, like Tyra or Normani who are beautiful, especially Normani. They are not Madea or Rasputia types.

But no matter what it is Obinna, stay encouraged. If you have to tell yourself a million times a day that you are exotic and made with a purpose, then you do that.

Thanks for reading!
