I find it interesting how people always want to give meaning to meaningless things. I see nothing wrong with this picture, its a picture now if you guys want to cause yourselves unnecessary headaches be my guest, my opinion? Yall talk of equality yet ones a light skin person does something there is everything wrong with it. Gossh love your skin and get your head out of the skies, nobody cares men, well i dont. Its funny how after facing separation and racism due to our colour, WE also separate ourselves due to colour, men this is ridiculious.<br />hihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01664122892621719194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524602601769529186.post-54765987293106127232015-03-04T12:46:10.651+00:002015-03-04T12:46:10.651+00:00Think the picture is nice.
