Sister Caramel
thank you for recognizing what the gods and goddesses made for the world to see
my skin
is chocolate
even have brown freckles on the white part of my eyes
yea, I'm so black
love it too
one of the lucky ones...told i was gorgeous from birth
even prettier with gods light shining through
my sister sister is yellowish brown like you and we love beyond the rainbow of colors
Being Black, red, brown, high yella, we've all been beaten til we black and blue
Still....I salute you for saying what is not always said
Here's my dedication to you:
don't change. folks will call you names
and try to burn away your blackness too.
Close your eyes
and imagine darkness smiling right back at you...
******the bleaching cream phenomenon is ill. The color complex is real. I made a short documentary about it that examines the manifestations in Texas rap: 'Colour Me Bad: Third Coast Hip Hop
keep up the good work, star.
