Benefits of dark skin

what has always amazed me is that these racists spend their time denigrating us for the colour of our skin, then as soon as the sun comes out they are sunbathing trying to get a tan and look like us :) weird people eh :):):)

Everywhere people look down on a dark or black skin. Not only in the Phillipines. Even black people do. My granny was a great example of that. Although she had a dark skin she was still talking about dirty black ones. My father is black, my mother is white and I am born in the so called sooo tolerant country called: the Netherlands. I can tell you nobody accepts you I had a terrible childhood because of the colour of my skin. I still can remember the day I saw my dad through the eyes of white people. Quite a shock. I think it's disgusting how white people can find themselves better as black people (according to my 6 year old daughter these people are not even black but brown!), even made them believe it's better to be white. I like the colour of my skin (I look way better as all those pale people together) and i also like the colour of my husband's skin (yes he is black, and yes he is suffering too about the colour of his skin and trying to make it look less black). My kids don't care about the colour of the skin or people looking different. They don't see the difference. Yesterday my (very white) son showed a pic of his (new black) dad to a schoolmate. And he was very proud of him! And he was not asked how his dad can be black at all! Normal is what you find normal, not what others say that should be normal or acceptable.

One time I read a topic posted here of a woman who was dying to be tan, and then subsequently I came across a topic of a Filipina asking about which whitening product is the best. You see, most of us despise our skin having been made to believe that white is beautiful. But somewhere out there, other people would do anything just to have our skin.

I don't mind about having darker skin, but my skin was a bit dark after sunburn, and turn back to brighter color when the dark skin got peeled off. Oh well, we all are proud to be who we are, it doesn't matter whether your skin is white, black or yellow. We all living in harmony in this Earth right?

I like my dark skin color which they call in the vernacular as "kayumanggi" and have never been insecure about it. Filipinas try their best to have the fair complexion that Westerners have while those who have the fair color try to make their complexion dark with the use of the highly expensive tanning machines. People just never seem to be contented with what they are and how they look. Dark people look nice especially when they try to keep their skin smooth and free from blemishes and scars.

well i neutral on this topic but i would like to be like a honey or caramel color.

hi there! LOL, You'd still found some benefits from dark skin huh? well, actually that is true. It's funny when you said, you can blend into the shadow, that's cool. LOL. And you're playing airsoft too? That's a great sports. I also live here in the philippines, and i also have dark/ or maybe brown skin, And i don't mind. I don't care if i have brown skin, as long as it's healthy. About being looked down by elite class, well, those people are just stupid or something. Yes, i'm proud of my color, and i love it.

Haha yes I like the color of my skin, it gets quite dark in the summer time and lighter in the winter and I love it. It's never too dark or never too light. That's very interesting how they look down upon having a different color of skin. Haha bet it makes you kinda feel like a bit of a rebel eh? :]
