@ the bold -- not if you're Black and you're proud of being Black. I know if I were one of the darkest of the darks, I'd not only welcome midnight but would also welcome the food reference for that shade -- burnt and crispy -- considering Black people talk food, hence the caramel, chocolate and other food references we use. I'd wear that sh!t on a teeshirt.

No way would I be sitting up on the internet crying dark tears all over the place because of the complexion I came out to be.

So if they're burdened by their complexion, that's on them and only them. *shrugs*
That said, the only colourism that I acknowledge is the (1) whites systematic white colourism that was started shortly after slavery ended, for the sole purpose of using it as a way of control on us. It wasn't about looks and likes, but about control since the slaves having been set free, they no longer could use race to control them the way they did during slavery. And (2) the Black colourism that was started shortly after that one around 1900 where they set anyone lighter than a paper bag is ls, putting all of the complexions that didn't make it in before that bag lock, in the same boat, that boat being you're not ls'd.
All that *someone called me a name* because I'm dark bµllsh!t that social media folks whine about in the name of colourism, I do not acknowledge because kids, then as they become adults, tease and name call, even bully in their commission of teasing and name calling. If you were the fat kid, the skinny kid, the short kid, the tall kid, the kid with very, very short hair, the kid who wore glasses, the kid who wore old clothes, the kid who was bucktooth, knockneed, the list goes on and on. Folks tease and get teased whatever there is about you that stands out -- they do it on here constantly, always calling Black folks ugly so no, I don't put or acknowledge any ism on that.
Bye girl. You're just another gas lighter.
