Are Dark Skin Women Beautiful?

Recently this question was posed to me by a male. A male who classifies himself as bi-racial.

Male: Do you think Dark Skin Women Are Beautiful?

Upon hearing this question fall from his lips straight away I saw the future and knew what his response would be after giving my answer. This 60 second flash forward would begin with my response, his words of negativity and failed attempt of trying to explain his views, and me basically using a vast array of poetic vulgarities which in turn would end our friendship. So again.

Male: Do you think Dark Skinned Women are Beautiful?

Me: Hell Yes! Why do you ask?

Male: I do too. I believe Dark Skin Women are the most Beautiful women, well in my opinion Black Women Period. Black Women are amazingly beautiful. I’m just trying to understand why a lot of people don’t, more so a lot of BLACK people. I was with a co-worker and I pointed out a woman who I thought was gorgeous and I asked his opinion and the first thing he said was No! Are you crazy, she’s so Black, and he was a Black man. I just didn’t understand, so that’s why I asked you.

Hmm? Not the response I was expecting.

Me: I don’t understand it either. I’m a darker skinned woman and believe me I have had my share of criticisms from all races of people about my skin colour, but it is always shocking when a Black person criticizes the hue of your skin.

Male: That is very interesting to know and by the way I think you are very beautiful.

Me: Awe Thanks. (In the end I still ended up giving him the side eye.)

are dark skin women beautiful? Are Dark Skin Women Beautiful? ARE DARK SKIN WOMEN BEAUTIFUL? His question has lingered in my mind and it also brought back many painful memories of when I was a child. I have a younger sibling (sister) who by visual comparison is lighter in colour than me and by Black standards has “Good Hair”. Growing up she was always viewed by everyone (family members, friends, neighbour’s, society etc.) as “The Pretty One” and I the darker hued sister (well you guessed it) as “The Ugly One”. We even had a neighbour who wouldn’t allow me to play with her grandchildren because of the colour of my skin. As a child growing up in an all Black neighbourhood and with this type of negative thinking it can cause a lot of psychological damage. It wasn’t until attending University that I began to love the skin I was in. I came in contact with Natural Black Women who appreciated and loved their beauty, and who taught me to do the same.

So why is there still a negative stigma on the Darker Hued Black Woman? The answer is simple we are still being played upon by the Craftsmanship, Scheme, and Thinking of Willie Lynch. He devised a full proof method to keep us continually divided. He crafted a list, a numbered list of differences that would ensure we stayed separated instead of being unified. The Second most important idea on that list was the design to use Colour as a device to ensure envy, and those concepts are still being used in society today. To liberate ourselves and the next generations we must instill and resurrect the beliefs in our Black Men and Women that the Blackness, The Burnt Hue, The Darkness of Our Skin is The Most Powerful Weapon on this planet. This essence and substance that we carry every day is a gift and manifestation of the Creators. This Beautiful Black Skin Is Our Armour. The belief and knowing of this beauty will not only activate a force on the mental realm but one on the physical and spiritual realm as well. The negatives know this and that is why on a daily basis they try to stop Us from manifesting our destiny again. There is no one more responsible right now in 2017 for this continuance of asinine, destructive, and vulgar way of thinking than us. Yes we are responsible because so many of us continue to feed into the manipulation. Today begin by isolating and separating yourself from this controlled thought process. Look in the mirror and Love The Skin You Are In. From the darkest of hues to the lightest of hues you are beauty! To the darker hued sister or brother reading this who can’t see it or feel it right now remember,

“You are the Celestial Sea To The I Eye I, That Gives Birth To The I Eye I, Created and Manifested From The I Eye I, You Are Armour, You Are Beauty, You Are Power, You Are I Eye I.”

                    The Willie Lynch Letter

December 25, 1712

Gentlemen:

I greet you here on the bank of the James River in the year of our lord, one thousand seven hundred and twelve. First , I shall thank you, the gentlemen of the of the colony of Virginia, for bringing me here. I am here to help you solve some of your problems with slaves. Your invitation reached me in my modest plantation in the West Indies where I have experimented with some of the newest and still the oldest method for control of slaves. Ancient Rome would envy us if my program is implemented. As our boat sailed south on the James River, named for our illustrious KING JAMES, whose BIBLE we CHERISH, I saw enough to know that our problem is not unique. While Rome used cords or wood as crosses for standing human bodies along the old highways in great numbers, you are here using the tree and the rope on occasion.

I caught the whiff of a dead slave hanging from a tree a couple of miles back. You are losing valuable stock by hangings, you are having uprisings, slaves are running away, your crops are sometimes left in the fields too long for maximum profit, you suffer occasional fires, your animals are killed, Gentleman,…You know what your problems are; I do not need to elaborate. I am not here to enumerate your problems, I am here to introduce you to a method of solving them.

In my bag, I have a fool-proof method for controlling your slaves. I guarantee every one of you that if installed it will control the slaves for at least three hundred years. My method is simple, any member of your family or any OVERSEER can use it.

I have outlined a number of differences among the slaves, and I take these differences and make them bigger. I use FEAR, DISTRUST, and ENVY for control purposes. These methods have worked on my modest plantation in the West Indies, and it will work throughout the SOUTH. Take this simple little list of differences and think about them. On the top of my list is “AGE” but it is only there because it starts with an “A”; The second is”COLOR” or shade; there is INTELLIGENCE, SIZE, SEX, SIZE OF PLANTATION, ATTITUDE of owner, whether the slaves live in the valley, on a hill, east or west, north, south, have fine or coarse hair, or is tall or short. Now that you have a list of differences, I shall give you an outline of action but before that, I shall assure you that DISTRUST IS STRONGER THAN TRUST, AND ENVY IS STRONGER THAN ADULATION, RESPECT OR ADMIRATION.

The black slave, after receiving this indoctrination, shall carry on and will become self-refueling and self-generating for hundreds of years, maybe thousands.

Don’t forget you must pitch the old black VS. the young black males, and the young black male against the old black male. You must use the dark-skinned slaves VS. the light skin slaves. You must use the female VS the male, and the male VS, the female. You must always have your servants and OVERSEERS distrust all blacks, but it is necessary that your slaves trust and depend on us.

Gentlemen, these kits are your keys to control, use them. Never miss an opportunity. My plan is guaranteed, and the good thing about this plan is that if used intensely for one year the slave will remain perpetually distrustful.
