"I've witnessed crazy discrimination in the African American community, even between family members, regarding complexion, good hair/bad hair. Brutal."
Colorism - never been taught to see the beauty in yourself because of being darker. Growing up I was always been told I was pretty BUT dark. Most of my negative experiences dating outside my race came form blacks not whites. Thirty years ago, it was usual for the female to be black , still most couples I know its the other way around. Being a black woman it's the assumption I am a prostitute or a whore. While in Jamaica I have had my fair share of offers.
