Dark Girls: Preview

This preview here has been circulating really heavy today. I thought I'd share it on my blog as well in case some of you missed it. We must move past this ignorance. I see men who are not only of color but who are also dark that disrespect and treat our dark skinned women so bad. It is pitiful and it really doesn't help. It hurts and tears down our people even more. Take a look at this video and feel free to comment.
