No Pity Parties Please: A Dark Girl’s Manifesto
I am a dark skinned woman. I am not a victim. I am not unfortunate. I am not pretty for a dark skinned girl. I am not ugly because I am dark. I am brown and beautiful. I was made by my creator with love, and in the spirit of diversity. I pray for people who self-hate and I pray for those who are ignorant and inane enough to believe that complexion determines what is attractive.
I cringed when I watched the trailer for Dark Girls because of the self-loathing and the pain that these women are still dealing with as a result of lingering post-colonial psychology. No one should hate them selves that much, especially because of someone else. It’s not just in the Black community that we deal with this type of self-hate, brown people all over the world struggle with this problem⎯this ridiculous White worship that negates our creator’s plans.

There isn’t one standard of beauty. Logically, that concept should be simple but it’s not so uncomplicated because people insist on being stubbornly blind to the fact. Mankind has such a strong desire to label everything because of our personal insecurities, that even if we were all the same complexion and had the same type of hair we’d then most likely be divided by height, size, eye color and so on.
Dark Girls is culturally relevant to everyone because African people throughout the Diaspora (including Latinos), and Asians too, need to have these uncomfortable conversations and face the ugly truth so that we can hopefully correct the problem. However, I’m also tired of this rhetoric because we’ve been dealing with this issue for centuries but with no real progress. So…
