Skin Deep: Imagines/ Request Book For Black Women 21+ (Complete)

Ted Talks (6)

Y'all know what time it is.

Let's talk about some things!

1: Men that like women, wouldn't feel the need to play with their emotions, or find pleasure in using them for sex, then ghosting them. It's giving dl vibes, and I feel as if they look at women as competition.

(As a woman who genuinely likes other women, I can't see myself hurting the person I'm pursuing. Whether we start officially dating or not, I don't expect anything out of them, and that includes sex, and I'm for damn sure mot gonna lead them on, and make them think I want something serious, just so I can sleep with her, then ghost her. These men genuinely hate women, because they see them as competition, but are afraid to live in their truth and be open in their sexuality.)

2: Wattpad writers that write about black women being disrespected by the main mafia character, yet they end up together, gives off major Stockholm syndrome vibes, and shouldn't be glorified.

(It's usually the characters who have no character development, and are major stalkers and are emotionally, mentally, and sometimes physically abusive to the black women. I just absolutely hate it, and it's hard to find books without that same concept.)

3: I've talked about this before on my discussion board a while back, but I wanna bring it up again. I don't like how a majority of the books on Wattpad that has a black woman as a main character, but she looks racially ambiguous, and the best friend is a gorgeous dark skin girl. They always write the best friend as a hater, or she's toxic. Maybe I'm looking into it too much but it's giving anti black vibes.

4: Women who don't consider themselves feminists, give off major pick me vibes. Like how could you not want more for women in general, and you're ok with not being treated equally by men.

A lot of people don't understand what being a feminist is. It's literally just wanting equality for women, and wanted to be treated with respect and humility.

5: This is something I saw from a book a little over a year ago, but y'all know I absolutely love black women, that come in every shade. But in this one particular book, the main character, which was a black woman, was extremely light skinned. Her face claim was absolutely beautiful, but some of the things the writer put in made me not want to read anymore.

They wrote out things that glorified the woman having a lighter skin complexion, and loose curly hair, calling her a light skinned queen, saying how she's soft and feminine, and it just gave me colorist vibes.

I know a lot of people think darker skinned women are masculine, loud and obnoxious, and they always get compared to men or even animals, and the book really made me uncomfortable.

I truly wanna know if I'm looking into it too much, or would anyone else feel uncomfortable reading something like that?

Let me know what y'all think. All opinions are welcomed.
