The kids get so mad when we tell them, “it was better”. 20-something Ladies and teen girls: It.WAS.Better.

... The way this reads Idk if he hates Black(or darker skinned?) women or he just doesn’t have enough sense or respect to say “Woman”. It’s both.

This is a huge problem in the Latinx community. People will swear blind they are 100% Spanish with no indigenous or African roots. It’s sad and makes so many hate themselves. I hated seeing Latinx my shade and darker wax on about pale blue/green eyed women

I don’t need no black bitch

I’ve talked about this before but I was raised by a mother who struggled with colorism (and many other things.)
