Comment on Stating the Obvious by Crystal Coburn

@ shev. I agree my post may be a bit harsh especially since all I’ve posted are my immediate thoughts without any sort of disclaimer. That’s the trouble with these things. I can write what I’m thinking and assume people will know and understand all the thoughts around that one thought. I did not intend this thought to generalize all brown skin and dark skin people. I have friends that don’t bother me about my colour. This exact thought came out when I was thinking about a situation I was in not long before. So this is how it came out, pissed off and harsh. I was tired of “nicely” saying how irked I was about people “Stating the Obvious” so I just let it go and said it how it really was in my head.

I understand the reasons for people making their comments about skin colour, I really do, but this is not what this post was about. Sometimes you just wanna tell them to STFU! while fully knowing where it comes from. I also understand why light skin, dark skin, brown skin people view themselves and each other a certain way but again this is not my first and only reaction to my experience with it.

Hopefully I didn’t offend you as that was never my intention. Thank you for sharing your thoughts though! I’m always up for the conversation.

Peace.

wow thats a bit harsh,im dark skin and i have nothing bad to say about lighter people unless there bad people. not all brown and dark skin girls are like the ones you describes in that post. some don’t care that your light they don’t wake up everyday thinking “dam i hate light skin girls”..but maybe they care that lighter people are being made out to be better than darker girls just because there light (because of the media and black boys) … and honestly SOME light girls behave like there better too(because of the media and black boys) .little kids aren’t oblivious to whats going on around them so maybe the dark skin girls who teased you are insecure. can’t blame them if there feeling rejected by there own race ?
there two side to every story you may be feeling upset about them teasing you,but their sure as hell feeling upset too.

hey, it’s my first time coming to your blog…I like this! My job is insane right now and I wanna be mad and bad too! Can’t do that because, well, I can’t just be like a child, but there are days when I almost forget I’m grown and want to go upside somebody’s head…anyway, just letting you know, I believe I am a new follower!
