Hi Tyra;I'm 15 years old,and ever since I was like..9 I've been getting made fun of my skin tone,because I'm dark VERY dark.My whole life I've been getting made from,I've heard everthing om being burnted- to -darthvader. I always wished I was light-skinned cause I probably would get more attention. Like when I was in the 6th grade I got invitied to a party. I was scared to go cause I felt that I was gonna be the only dark one[and I was] but now that I read these coments I feel that DARK is BEATUIFUL!

Hey Tyra I'm Totyanna and I'm 17. feel the same as other girls when you are a darker color. I'm dark and very thin so I get called little black girl. I have a lighter sister who is loved by everybody because she is light. Also I have a family history of hatred because of Light Skinned Vs. Dark Skinned. The racial conflict really breaks my family apart. My grandma don't like me because I'm dark.
"Im black and beautiful!" That just seems like black women are trying to prove themselves they are beautiful, even though they are black, without even believing that by themselves..
hi tyra banks! well i have dark skin.and im actully really really nice person but ill be in school and out of no where they'll just make fun of me for no reason. I just let it go i dont even bother with it. But now it is really bothering me.and i hate having this dark skin.Im not ashmaed to be black its just i dont like the color of my skin.
Hey I'm Jamie and I just got a comment today. this girl I know says I can't date anyone darker than her skin color..whats so wrong with that
Tyra,why not present a show telling and explaining why whites get tans. I have always thought that the whites were trying to get as dark as any black person you see. Why is it that you Tyra and let me not forget Opra also; always put it out there that blacks want to copy, imatate, or assimulate with white america? I think, feel, and know that it is the other way around. Whites would not have rhythum, harmony, or class without the black race. I think you all want to keep your rating. Go on tyra pay your car, house notes, and charge cards off. All off the backs of black. We won't say a word we never do. O' well maybe you want to do a story looking at why whites tan year around. How many blacks have extra money to buy lightening cream, compared to the whites that spend money on tanning year around. Lets not be one side. If we are going to tell a story lets tell the entire story.
I'm 30 years of age. I'm African American, and I have dark skin. I feel that unattractiveness comes in all races and skin tones. I feel that we as African Americans are racist against one another. I feel that most black people think having lighter skin is better. People may not say this, but you can tell in their everyday conversations, having nothing to do with skin color. For instance, when a light skin person is being described they are usually referred to as red or yellow. In contrast, when people refer to someone with darker skin they call them black. Also, the tone of their voice is different when describing the 2. Lighter skin people are usually described with a peasant voice. Dark skin people are usually describled as unattractive. I'm dark and lovely. I'm not arrogant but I'm confident. People tell me that I'm pretty. I'm proud of my dark skin. It makes me stand out. It's sad to say but people expect Celie from the Color Purple prior to meeting me, but they get Black Beauty. Lastly, I will never accept the remark, that I'm pretty for a dark skin girl as a compliment. It is indeed an insult (Ugly comes in all colors and so does Pretty)!!!!
Ladies, Im 22 years old and I been thru this complex all my life. Thats why I created brownskinbeauties check us out myspace.com/brownskinbeauties and right now I am also writing a book based on the color complex that goes on in the black and international community. But i will be a collection of stories from brown and darkskin girls both positive and negative experiences dealing with skin. if interested email me @ bsbbeauties@gmail.com
My son told me you did a story some weeks ago about Vitiligo, I would like to know what product was discussed to use to cover or get rid of the skin disorder. Thanks.
I use to deal with the issue of my skin color growing up. I’m about to be 20 years old now and I have finally come into acceptance of it. Growing up it wasn’t white people who teased me. It was my own race... they say things like cookie monster are darkvaider. the worst thing that was told to me that I can remember is "when god made you he said opps I burned one"...(lol) don’t get me wrong it was kind of funny but at the same time it hurt my feelings and I never showed it which is why I hide my emotions now because of that. I would look around and wonder why my skin wasn’t the same color as all of the other kids and I would hate to walk into a room because I would feel like I was being judge because my skin was too black. as I got older I started getting complements in my skin that it was smooth are I was the really pretty to be this dark(which still kind of bothers me) and so on, so I started to embrace my skin color and no longer looked at it as why am I the only one with dark skin but I looked at it like" I am the only one with dark skin I’m unique there’s only one me and I stand out among the crowd and that made me feel good plus when you feel good about yourself you look good cause that confidence takes over and you walk with a harder stride and a higher head so I would say to any dark skin complexion person I promise you it’s a n honor to have the skin color that you have and to be as beautiful as your

hi, B-Breezy here! i am not dark skinned, but many of my friends r. there is one black guy in my class that is the blackest boy i have ever seen in my whole entire life, but he became my friend bcuz he makes me laugh. wat i am trying 2 say is to not look from the outside in people, but the beauty they have in the inside, and wat they bring 2 ta table. if you can only look at people from both ways, u have no right 2 judge them. GOD created us in his unique way. yes we are different, but beautiful. be proud of who and what you are bcuz, if u can't then who will. i am blessed 2 have people in my life that support me and make me feel good. i hope guys do too!
I am a dark skinned female and i love my skin color. It shows that we have came from out african american culture. We show and present ourselves as great people. I love being dark skinned!!!!
