A Girl Like Me
Color is more than skin deep for young African-American women struggling to define themselves.

I need to finish watching this. I always get interrupted. It is amazing how black people world over are still bogged down over this issue. It's about time we confronted it and moved on!
@ Kisiki, I agree with you. Children need to be surrounded by positivity so they can develop a strong identity. This is so important when navigating your way through life because you'll always hear negative things about your race, gender, country of origin, or whatever else.

I think the sad part is the negative messages little kids get. And some black people tend to be the harshest critics about this issue.
This is time where by we have to teach our kids who they come from, so that they can be able to be proud of black colour.
Some of the interwied girls put it right that, the disfavour they got from people they meet, makes them feel that white is good.
God created all people in the same way. Colour is just colour but we are the same. We are all accountable to God as the white, black, or red are...
Know that you look good in the colour you are.
