the dopest ethiopienne: how do people not understand that whitewashing is wrong?

trubr0wn:

whitewashing DESTROYS people from the INSIDE OUT

seriously

it demolishes childrens’ self esteem. it speaks a VERY clear message to young people of color.

what’s that message?

“YOU’RE UGLY

YOU’RE DIRTY

YOU’RE NOT GOOD ENOUGH

YOU’LL NEVER BE PRETTY

YOU’LL NEVER BE HANDSOME

YOU’LL NEVER BE ACCEPTED
