The pigmentation in the skin defines how you'll be treated in society. This all derived from the hatred being implemented in the hearts of those of our past. This condescending derivative tarnishes opportunities and respect to certain ethnic groups. This is all misguided. Our external appearances shouldn't dismay our internal strives and beliefs. I became a victim to this harsh mentality and it led me to do something I never thought I was capable of doing. It's about time I set the record straight.All Rights Reserved

Safety In Numbers ( BWWM) On HOLD by _itstheRitaaa

I've been bullied since as long as I can remember. Dark skin is so this or so that. And it seemed to get worse when I gained weight. "Now not only is she dark, she's fat too!" I couldn't escape it even if I tired. I even attempted to commit suicide. Sitting in the bathtub with nothing but pills a razor and social media looking at all the people that hate you would do that. I tried to make it go away, Lord knows but he had a blessing coming for me. I just had to wait. But I knew even in my waiting it was going to be an uphill battle. Will I win the battle?

Behind every mean girl...there's a tragedy by Winchesters_united

The average human being spends every second of his day fighting against the force of nature to see another day. But I'm different. I'm not afraid of outside forces to take my life away - only myself. Approximately 10 years ago, something happened to me. Something really bad. But I'm not allowed to talk about it. As a way to release my frustration, I give hell to my body and everyone I come in contact with - especially my parents. No one knows about what happened except the ones who did it...and Him. But he didn't stay. Now, he's back and he's not talking either. I want to stop hurting, I need to stop. Make me stop.

But She's Darkskin ||Completed || BEING EDITED by VidaWrites

All the time you get complements but right after that you hear your skin color. Yeah, your skin is dark, but why should that matter. Every little statement that's made about you always has to have but she's darkskin. Ones beauty,personality, anything, shouldn't be jeopardized because of their skin color. Some people learn that the hard way, some people don't see that they're beautiful no matter what skin color they are... All events in this story is fictional. The names, people, and some places aren't real and aren't real people. This book is for enjoyment and reading purposes only. The events that take place in this story did not really happen in the place it resides, and these people do not actually exist. The book will have mistakes because I am not perfect and it will be edited sometime after the book is completed. Do not try to steal this story or make it your own thanks xoxoxo © Vida P. 2014-2015

DARKSKIN, STRONG SOUL by Leratduquarrier09

Bullying was my life-physical attacks, cruel insults, and racist jokes-just because I was born with dark skin. It became a daily reality, a lifestyle I couldn't escape, until she came into my life and showed me the way to freedom."

Follow Carolina Whittley and read her story about how she lived in a world to her, evolved around, racism, segregation, and love. Living in a period where the fight to end racism was anything she and her family seemed to think of, and the struggle to end segregation. Her life had become everything but comfortable as she worries about the safety of her family and herself as the politics of everyday threaten her existence. Life in the south before the civil rights movement, and during, African Americans constantly underwent a series of all forms of hate just because of the amount of Melanin in their skin. And her being the same amount of white as she is black brings hate from both sides. With her curious mind, and ability to think deeper about everyday things she could distract herself from the harsh real world. Until the day she caught Lewis Montgomery's eyes. Even though there are many rules in the white community on what the right way to treat people who are darker then a paper bag, not everyone follows. Lewis Montgomery will find his open minded thoughts can complicate things in the life he's always known. Will he forget everything his father told him about how to treat the Colored in the neighborhood next over, especially when he begins to become fond of one girl who's infatuated with books? ***** NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON, and EBOOK (Kindle) Discontinued on Wattpad.
