Black is beautiful & that is what I have always believed. Black don't crack, black is beauty, black is amazing. Yet, it is much easier to say it, than live it to some women.
It is a sad reality when I am reminded of the many discriminations in the community. Not just the black community but our society as a whole. Being black & beautiful is from the inside out. Why is it that many of our beautiful sisters do not feel that way?
The documentary Dark Girls goes into the depth of the skin color among women. Starting with young girls in preschool to women in the workplace. In a world of Beyonce's & Halle Berry's, I can see why the media makes it much harder for dark skin women. I can see deep inside where the hurt comes from. Constantly compared to someone with lighter skin or "good hair". It also comes from the environment the women come from & live in.
This documentary explores the deep biases and attitudes about skin color toward dark skinned women, outside of and within the black community. It is something I never thought about before, but I will defiinitely be checking out the documentary when it comes out in the fall/winter of 2011.
