Beautiful Black Woman,but I Bet that B---- Look Better Red

Over 300 years ago the light skin vs. dark skin dichotomy among African women was created. In Africa, every shade was accepted, embraced, and deemed beautiful. Upon arrival in the New World a distinction among African natives was made. Through this distinction light skin women and dark skin women were pitted against one another. The lighter skinned woman given the "privilege" to be under the watchful eye of a jealous mistress, and the sexual property of an egotistical master. While the darker skinned woman toiled in the fields day in, day out away from her children. Women as a whole light and dark have been complicit in the further perpetuation of this dichotomy.  Especially when they define their beauty solely on their skin pigmentation. Men and the media make it no better. They glorify the lighter woman and often times dont even acknowledge the darker woman outside of the usual under-handed compliment "You're pretty for a dark skin girl".....MY BLACK is BEAUTIFUL no matter how light or dark.  Every shade of black is unique and covers a set of unique features and intangible qualities.
