Ebony Taylor has always heard the phrase 'Your pretty for a dark skin girl' Why do I have to be pretty for a dark skin girl? Why can't I just be pretty. Why should my color matter? Ebony has always had friends that were mixed with something they'd get all the attention from males but when they notice her, she doesn't get 'Oh my god your gorgeous.' She gets 'She's pretty for a dark skin girl.'

ain't nothing like black berry juice.everybody got something to say about 21 yr old Imoni. "who child is! that! " "she aint gone find ah man with that dark color." But when pretty boy light bright skinned. Daniel steps her way...See what happens next!!

Love is a strange thing. They say when you're in love, what's on the outside never matters. Well then why does it seem like it only matters with me? I'm tired of having my heart crushed and rebuilding it over again just for it to be crushed again. I told myself to never love again. I've hid from love completely, but now it's found me once again, but this time I'm not going to lose. - Ruby "I Love You...Do You Love Me?" *Sequel to 'Dark skin but in love (mindless behavior love story)'*

Austin King is tired of hearing that she is pretty........ for a dark skin girl. why can't she just be pretty? Why is the color of her skin always involved?

"Put down the bleach. Your skin is not dirt that needs to be cleaned out like yesterday's shirt. You are comprised of sienna, chestnut, and warm mahogany. Dark as the night sky, constellations are tucked neatly underneath your bones. Your skin reminiscent of the hot chocolate that warms winter nights. Like rings around a tree stump, you too have history etched into your melanin. Don't let the glaring whiteness, blind you from the beauty that you are. "
