I question completely the idea of light skinned privilege while still loving my black skin

Acknowledgement of light skin privilege even now in 2018 is sadly lacking, just admit you have it and we can move on. Now steff is an uk artist up and coming her music is quite good I won’t take that away from her. Recently one of her old tweets from 2013 has surfaced and here is where the trouble begins.

The tweet said and I quote ‘ all you dark skinned bitches hating on light skinned bitches don’t act like if god gave you a choice you wouldn’t change your colour lool.’ Erm come again?!! Did just say oh I think she did….. Sorry to burst your bubble steff you fail to realise something which is glaringly obvious you ready for it? YOUR DUMB ASS IS BLACK TOO NUH RASSSS it’s bad enough we have to deal with racism but colourism is friendly little sister has shown no signs of going anywhere anytime soon I mean lord god.

I understand she was 22 at the time but come on at that age you know exactly what the hell you are saying but I suppose  since your brain was not fully developed (the brain matures at age 25) I guess you could be forgiven but no sorry when the person who digged up this tweet questioned you about it you promptly deleted it and then denied you ever wrote it.

Girl goodbye with the denial it wasn’t fake nor a hack you wrote it now you need to own it. Similar happened to stormzy back in November his old homophobic tweets were dug up and unlike steff he owned up to them and apologised why is it so hard for her to do the same. Colourism has its roots in colanism the lighter skinned slaves were treated some what better though still brutalised extremely while the dark skinned slaved were made to be in the field. It’s also the whole idea of pretty light skinned babies with loose curly hair comes from its all from slavery.

now if we are truly to emancipate ourselves from mental slavery ‘as Marcus Garvey famously said’ then we need to unlearn the the things that keep us from true progression as a race. We need to grow into our true selves we always quick to speak up and out against racism but yet when it’s colourism we are deadly silent. Now I’ve deleted stefflon don’s music out of my phone but I do not acknowledge people like that but I won’t write her off completely I hope she admits soon the damage ignorant and offensive tweets cause. Own up to your fuckery and there may be hope for you yet……
