Do you love me?

A better question is, do you love yourself?  How do you treat yourself? Do you permit people to mistreat or abuse you because they claim they have a right to because of the color of your skin?

My poor mother died truly believing that she was entitled to be a whorish predator because of the color of her skin.

Whoa,  she is not the only.  You can buy into that slave "yalla" crap if you want to.  We had to listen to my mother brag about her color and hair every day of our lives.  I am so glad my grandfather spoke up every time she abused me about the color of my skin.

"Don't pay no attention to yo'mama dawthur …she ignut!  I always wished I wuz brown lak you."

I will not perpetuate racism or "colorism".  THERE IS ONLY ONE RACE! THE HUMAN RACE! 

We do live in a pluralistic society and we should not see color.  i can understand having a preference.  But, please do not believe a certain color makes a person better.

I don't care if a rich black man marries a white woman.  Marry who you please. But, please do not rank people by race or skin color.  Do not assume I am less intelligent or less worthy because of the color of my skin.
