Light Skin/Dark Skin...why is it still an issue?

Ok we (the girls of Sweet Addictions TV) have made hundreds of videos and I keep wondering why every so often the issue of light skin/dark skin comes up. We did make a video in regards to a woman that had several issues about being brown skin. Ok so it's only natural to have a discussion about that. But what's up with videos that have nothing to do with skin color? The videos I am referring to are the ones about baby mommas and the one titled "It's Still An Issue". Ok let me address the videos about baby momma...we were talking about problems that arise when there are other baby mommas involved. We made several comments in regards to a woman that resembled a Silverback Gorilla. She resembled a damn Silverback...that's why we said that...not because she was black (African American)...***NEWS FLASH***We are African American too so what sense does it make to say "racial" comments??? I (Skittles) also stated that 1 of her kids (a 2-3 yr old might I add) had short ass hair....now that comment was made because the momma had put a damn relaxer and weave in her hair, therefore damaging the hair. Some people took what we said and straight turned it into a race issue...Which brings me to the video "It's Still An Issue". We had to do that video just to address the dumb ass comments that was written under the baby momma comments. They said we thought we were better than everybody else because we we were light skin. That's some of that bullshit! Then other crazy comments were written about me. Let me list them: I'm self hating because I say I'm light skin when I'm really not, I only date white guys because I want light complected kids, I want to be white because I dyed my hair blonde...and then it was I think my kids are better than everyone elses because they are biracial. Once again, that's some of that bullshit!

Now I shouldn't even have to say this, but I don't need no damn body telling me about what color I am. I'm light skin and been that way all my life lol...I may look darker in some pics and vids, but in all reality (that means in real life for the slow ppl) I am light skin. If I was brown skin, I would say that I was. I love myself too much to pretend to be someone/something that I'm not so let's get that straight. 2nd...I don't limit myself to 1 race when it comes to dating but, have only dated 1 white person in my life and that's my daughter's father. I could give a damn about skin color and definitely don't pick people just to have lighter complected children. As a matter of fact, I only have 2 kids and my son is brown skin. 3rd...I can dye my hair any damn color I please and that does not mean I want to be another race. Ya'll people need to get a damn grip. We don't dare talk about other races laying out in the sun trying to get some color or them dying their hair different colors so don't bring that shit my way! Lastly, I don't think my daughter is better than everyone else's kids because she is biracial. People need to understand that light skin people have it hard also. We are automatically judged as being stuck up (thinking we are better than everybody else)!!!!! So wtf? Hell my daughter comes home all the time complaining about people calling her "white girl".

This is a RIDICULOUS issue and wish it would all be put to rest. The fact of the matter is we (SATV) do not have a problem with ourselves. Other people have the problem and are bringing it to us!

I didn't write this to explain anything (even though that's what I just did lol) It was really to get the frustration off my chest because people's ignorance really get on my nerves!
