If you could choose, would you still be black? I personally would not, in this world that we live in. Life would be far easier if I were white or possibly Asian. If I had to be black, I'd choose to be a very light-skinned black who could pass for white. It would be far easier than having the ebony black skin that I have. |

It is. Lolo is the latest incarnation of you-know-who; a character who is placid and prim, the antithesis of igbogirl. snicker. |

In the picture posted that was supposed to be of this NY Times' star reporter, Lolo's skin didn't look ebony to me. |

So I see. Not only is "your" skin dark but it's pimply. No wonder "you" want to be somethng else. tsk-tsk, Couldn't you find a better specimen to represent who you're supposed to be, Kolola? |

If you are who you claim to be then it's sad that you have so many identity issues. You've achieved a lot more than most people with white or yellow skin. |

You may not be pimply, but the forehead of the girl in the picture is and she needs her eyebrows arched. |

If you knew my family's many accomplishments, you wouldn't think I had achieved that much at all. I haven't, compared with my cousins, my father, my uncles... |

So you believe that your ebony black skin is what's holding you back? |

Tropic, I don't think I'm seriously held back. I mean, dang, there are people of all complexions who can't even afford to eat. |

We have a saying in Yoruba: Oye mi imo akan owomo iyela
It translates as:
Fair skin is always fresher and better |

If Africans are SOOOOO proud of being Black, and the blacker the better and more AUTHENTIC, then why would they have such a saying that essentially praises the White man? |
