blackwomenconfessions:

C: Can we talk about how feminism is more easily digested if it’s coming from conventionally attractive, light skinned/racially ambiguous women? The rest of us are “bitter, nappy headed bitches.” I can never really talk about colorism in any capacity without lighter skinned folks feeling a way and preaching that “we’re all black” shit. Yes, we are all black. But your “black” and my “black” are treated very differently because of your perceived proximity to whiteness and my obvious distance from it.
