This is a letter to dark skin girls.

 Israel.Ysrayl, a Jim Crow restroom sign.
Just to put this issue in an absolute perspective.

I'm writing this after seeing a back and forth debate on Tumblr about black girls and colorism. Dark girls expressed their experiences, light girls expressed their experiences, and both experiences were weighed and measured and categorized. Some people put one problem over another while others put both problems on the same level.

I'm writing this because I believe my experiences have given me a pretty clear view of this issue.

I'll begin this, as always, with a disclaimer.

This is the consensus to "the black girl thing".

To my very huge and dramatic surprise, no one said anything.
But the large number of views on This is about the "black girl" thing., however, was a surprise.

This is about the "black girl" thing.

Twitter keeps it real, but that doesn't mean people don't tweet some dumb ish. I've written enough about the discrimination against black girls, but hopefully this vlog will wrap up my arguments...for some time anyway. Listen to this crap, then hit me up with your comments. There will be no progress until we start talking...and there will be no end to my whining until there's progress. Hahaaaa! But really though.

This is,

MAB
