I'm lightskin, black brotha. My mom is black and so is my dad, however, they are lightskin. Both of their parents, are lightskin blacks as well except for my dad's father being brown skin.
I was never raised to think lightskin is something special or important. That's why I can't fukk with that one drop or the worshipping of lightskin. I've seen some ugly lightskin and biracial bytches get boosted for no reason by darkskin blacks, male or female.
Females will play with these bytches hair and be sidekick's to the ugliest, average looking hoes. Dudes will wife a lightskin hoe just because she is lightskin, breath be on doo doo status, and ass flat like a smashed twinkie, but these nikkas will thirst.
