Your ‘preference’ is founded on self hate and colorism...and it shows.
If you've listened to episode one of season one, titled, Chronicles of Being Ugly, you'd know colorism was an overarching theme in the reason I thought I was ugly. In this episode, I delve into how the media perpetuates a false lens through which we view other skin tones: be it by representing various stereotypes or by bashing people based on their skin color. I also didn't fail to mention the role black people (a considerable amount of dark skin men), play in this with the projection of their self-loathing mentality. So whether you've been called a gorilla because of your beautiful black skin or whether you've been cultured to think dark bones shouldn't mix because you want a 'brighter' future, this episode is for you. Again, these thirty-five minutes of me talking to myself contain very cringeworthy memes so please brace yourself.
