        It has always been interesting to me why white people wish to be darker but discriminate darker skin and why darker people want to be lighter. A mind provoking read.

            Your words peel back layers, revealing truth beneath the surface. A powerful reminder that authenticity lives within, beyond any facade.

            Forsooth. Black Like Me proves that, the alleged attempt to see another angle what most of us forget is rather crucial. We can only offer empathy until we too have experienced whatever, seems to me. Gorgeous in tantalizingly eloquent brevity. Rendered beautifully with superb imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you very much for sharing.

                They will be breathing, whether their personality and character are real is a different question
