Every time I meet my family members they always say ‘oh you’ve gotten dark, do this to lighten your skin.’Why are people of our own race so against a characteristic of their own?

The only thing you can do about racism is to ignore it, dgaf mostly. Trust me, we are our best selves just the way we are <3 and I love that for us. our individuality is what makes us unique. Please do not take any of those comments/judges to heart, its all just f ed up societal brainwash. Hope this helps :)
