dark girls..

Dark Girls: Preview from Bradinn French on Vimeo.

That hit a soft spot..makes me wonder about how my relationship was with my ex. He is lighter than me and he always used to crack a joke about my skin here and there. Now it took me a while to realize that I was beautiful, unfortunately, but this clip made me wonder what what he was thinking when he would say "if this doesn't work out I'm going back to white girls" or he'll talk to other people saying "oh you gonna get darker than her."..things gotta change...

  1. Hey thanks for visiting my page!

    & thanks for posting this :) it actually inspired me to write another post. This video was made very well and I could feel it hitting a nerve, y'know? I didn't even notice the Beyonce thing!

    It really has been instilled in our minds that dark skin is a bad thing and it's sickening, it's sad, and I wish things weren't like that. Whatever happened with your ex is history - I don't care what he said about going back to white girls, etc. You've just gotta love yourself and he is not worth your time if he can't love you like he should.

    Ahh I'm getting all sentimental lol. But seriously - I like this post!
