Thank you so much for being candid. You never know who else you have helped simply by sharing your story. You rock! :-)

I respect you objection, and its ok to disagree. My point is, I see BOTH sides being hurt and I want BOTH sides to heal. I don’t like telling someone how the should feel. I think its unfair. She mentioned bullying. Maybe she got jumped, or teased or whatever. Again, I don’t know. But what I do see is someone hurt, and…

I will never deny the privilege that this skin has allotted me. But because lighter skin is perceived to be more palatable in society, doesn’t make the pain any less. Many blacks/African American’s search for identity. So when you grow up (cause all of this is old pain) hearing your counterpart saying “you’re not…

Im gonna need you to write a book and send me an autographed copy please and thank you!

what the...

Im going home sick now... 

She’s such an icon! I can listen to her talk all day. 

The moment when you mentioned Speigel, we became kindred spirits! I’m in tears because I have struggled with everything you mentioned; and still do. Very powerful peace Queen. 

So we just gonna act like that trap beat is country... 

What is low porosity? Me and my thick yet fine (think of a cotton ball) hair don’t get along. But I will try anything at this point. 

She didn’t sound proud of it, she just said some of the foul things she had to do to survive. Why is she a monster for her honesty? Not saying its right btw. However there’s no honor among thieves or in this case, if you’re playing in a pig pen, sometimes you can get dirty.

Yup! Great reference!
