This new New Documentary called ‘Dark Girls’. The programme Looks at how Black Women Struggle with their Skin Tone. Throughout the programme are several interviews where women share heart breaking and disturbing stories of how they hate the skin they are in.
This just shows how vulnerable and unknowledgeable women are about what real beauty is! It
makes me want to shake some confidence into these women.
One of the women whilst being interviewed says.. “I used to wish I could wake up one day
lighter. Or wash my face and think that it would change. I thought it was dirt and I tried to clean
it off, but it wouldn’t come off.”Another woman said, “It was so damaging. It made us feel like we
weren’t wanted. That we were less than.” In a really surprising snippet, a teacher asks a young girl
to look at a spectrum of girls from very light to very dark, and pick out which girl was, “smart and
pretty” and which one was, “dumb and ugly.” The child confesses she thinks the light girl is smart
and pretty “because she’s white,” and the dark girl is dumb and ugly, “because she’s black.”
-THIS IS HORRENDOUS!
