I've read a few books on the color complex. Don't Play in the Sun by Marita Golden is the one I can relate to best. It is well written. And she went to Brazil and other countries. She painted a good picture of how blacks live there and in Cuba. The color complex is something 95% of people like to deny. It seems like dark skinned people are more likely to talk about it. It bothers me when people deny it exists. IT'S A LIE!!!! Saying the color complex doesn't exist is more offensive than saying racism doesn't exist...to me. Probably because the color complex negatively affected me more.
The way people stereotype me these days amuse me. You have to laugh. They think: afrocentric, dumb, poor, racist against whites, etc. Then when they get to know me I'm a WHITE GIRL...sometimes. I'm American. I was born here. Is that white???????
I haven't washed my hair in a month. lol. I go to the salon in 3+ weeks. I may get free maintenance next week if work isn't too busy next week. Otherwise I'm going to give myself a shampoo free mini soak. I should do that anyway...........
