   1. Being Dark Skinned isn’t considered a plus, positive or beautiful in America or other parts of the world.
      As a child I was called ugly, tar baby and bullied for my dark skin. It took me a long time to Love my God given complexion.
      This model is a strong brave young woman.

      1. As most definitely you should, DeBorah. People that say such awful things…..I don’t even know what to think about them. Yes, the model is strong, brave and beautiful, to boot.

      2. Thanks. Sadly those type of negative remarks go back to slavery times and colonialism.
         Unfortunately the mindset is ingrained in America, Africa and the Caribbean.

2. Crazy suggestion. This woman is drop-dead-gorgeous.

   1. I am glad she laughed in the Uber drivers face.

5. Yes, this issue stems back to days of slavery as well as our lack of black, beautiful role models in social media. You don’t see this type of beauty on magazines, commercials, etc. It hurts that this is still our reality today. Thanks for the post!!

   1. My pleasure. Sadly we have not come far regarding the colorism issue.

      1. And we may never, which is sad. But we continue the battle. 🙂

6. That Uber driver must have been blind. This young woman is glorious.

   1. True. I agree. Keep in mind that Dark Skin is not the standard of beauty in most parts of the world. Having dark skin is still a stigma in many countries.

      1. To be honest, the beauty of the face was what I noticed most. The skin colour simply highlighted that beauty.
         I assumed the Naomi Campbells of this world would have changed that stupid bias long ago. 😦

      2. As a Dark Skinned Woman I can say nothing has changed. One of my earlier posts was about a young dark Skinned girl who was mocked and belittled not only by her fellow students but also by the teacher.
         I went through the same insults during the 60s & 70s.

         This ten year old girl got the last laugh by forming a T-Shirt company called Flexing in my Complexion. She has her own YouTube channel.
         Racism, discrimination, and bigotry are ingrained in most societies. People have not changed from slavery and colonialism times.

      3. It’s a sad indictment of humanity that we can’t see to learn from our mistakes. 😦

      4. That’s the way of the world. Or as my Dad used to say, The more things change. The more they stay the same.

         July 5, 2017 at 11:18 pm

      5. Yeah, I’ve heard that one. Wise man, your Dad. 🙂

7. I love dark skin. I am actually hating (in a good way) because my black skin is a million different colors. My face is dark, legs is light, arms is two-toned. I’m a mixture of my dark Mom and light father. I laugh at times, if only I was one dark complexion. I love her complexion. This cabby needs to shut his mouth!!

   1. I like that she laughed in his face. Colorism has always been an issue but this brave courageous young lady got the last laugh!
