Black And White...

Hello Everyone!!!

I am Aysha.

I am dark and am very sad about it(not proud of it).

So people who are sad about your skin color and those who wish to be white skinned can read this post. I wish, my post will make some of you to rethink your view about skin color.

Does skin color matters in this 21st century??
                                
                                      -Those who say No,I can prove that you are wrong.
                                      -Those who answer Yes, I'm sure that you would have gone through or witnessed any of the following incident.



#1 DURING PREGNANCY

DAUGHTER: Mom, Can I eat grapes???
MOM: Why are you asking dear??
DAUGHTER: No Mom, I'm afraid that my child's complexion may get dark..:-(
MOM: Yes Dear,Better avoid grapes. Take saffron, your child will be as white as milk...


#IS BABY WHITE SKINNED?
My friend once had a call from her cousin. Her cousin told her that his wife has given birth to a baby... My friend's first question was,"IS THE BABY WHITE SKINNED?"....

 #This incident was told by my colleague.Her neighbor gave birth to a very beautiful daughter.(Beautiful daughter means fair skinned).Her husband is not fair, he is dark skinned. My friend's grandma told her,"Thank God! The baby didn't get the skin color of her father". My friend asked her why is she so keen about skin color.Her grandma replied,"Fairness is very important for a girl. No one could deny it.".


#This was also told by my colleague. When she was a child, her mother would never allow her to play with the poor kids, But she used to play with them. One day her mother called her and scared by telling,"If you are going to continue playing with them, their dark skin color will come to you and you will also become dark."


                            

                                         


#There are lots of photo editing apps which are created just to make people look fairer. 

#Whenever I switch on the TV, I always see advertisements for fairness creams,. Is it really necessary? Why can't we remain dark? Why do we want to change into white skinned girl? These ads make us feel inferior. They tell us that it is very important to be fair.

#Even in movies, white skinned girls are praised whereas dark skinned girls are either humiliated or not even debuted. Being fair is one of the main criteria to become an actress.

#The worst of all is during marriage. When parents start looking for alliance, their first condition is,"The girl must be fair. She must be slim. She must be beautiful.".

                                

To the dark people out there, don't ever feel inferior.To the white people who think dark skin as a curse, you are not insulting us, you are insulting The Almighty God as he was the one who created us.

The bitter truth is, In our country India, we,the dark skinned people, face lot of discrimination and insults... But our Indians are very busy talking about Racism in other countries!!!

"As you grow older, you'll see white men cheat black men 
every day of your life, but let me tell you something and 
don't you forget it - whenever a white man 
does that to a black man, 
no matter who he is, how rich he is, or how fine a family 
he comes from, he is trash."

-Harper Lee, author of To Kill a Mockingbird

"Until the philosophy which holds one race superior and 
another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and 
abandoned everything is war"

-Bob Marley
