colorism
I'm sorry my hair offends you
im sorry its puffy curls block your view
you made me feel ashamed when i had cornrows in while being so young but now you call them boxer braids
i never asked for my skin to be this dark but i bet you could have never guessed that in my own community i'm at the bottom of the poll because of my tint
but honestly i'm not sorry at all, you were the ones building the wall
i wasn't raised to love me but i'm learnig and i would appreciate it if you could join in

Me
