New Documentary Exposes Issues Of Color In African American Community
June 3, 2011
I remember someone said, you stayed in the oven too long.
Those are just one of the several comments made by women in a new documentary by actor Bill Duke, called Dark Girls, due to come out this fall. It explores the idea that dark-skinned black women are treated differently compared to light-skinned black women. One girl explains how she felt when she overheard her mother bragging to someone about how she looks.
Shes got great cheekbones, shes got great lips and she then adds, can you imagine if she had any lightness in her skin. Shed be gorgeous.
