Little light skinned girl
Little Light skinned Girl
Just because I'm a black doesn't mean I love fried chicken (but I do)
Just because I'm black doesn't mean I know every new dance move
Just because I'm black doesn't mean I'm loud and ghetto
Just because I'm black doesn't mean my father is in jail or not present in my life
Just because I'm black doesn't mean my ma is a Crackhead
Just because I'm black doesn't mean I don't care about my education
Just because I'm black doesn't mean I rely on government assistance
Just because I'm light skin doesn't mean I'm any less "black"
Just because I'm light skin doesn't mean I'm mixed
Just because I'm light skin does not mean I'm more attractive than a dark-skinned person
Just because I am very opinionated doesn't make me an angry black women
Just because I talk "properly" doesn't mean I'm white
Just because I have hair does not mean it is a weave or wig
Just because I am a female does not mean I can't do the same things as male
Just because I care about women's rights doesn't mean I am a crazy feminist
Just because it's 2019 means that no one should be judged based on their
beliefs, the color of
their skin, their sexual orientation or their gender!
