She was raised that way, you know white is better. My father (who was white) loved her beauty. She never loved herself bc of her race among other things. My dad died when I was 4. I wish I knew him, he adored her and she was never with another man again. Now that's deep...anyway off track.

I think it's relevant because we do live in culture where we are made to hate ourselves for not being media beautiful. Whether it be ladies of African heritage being made to feel they need to make their hair more like white lady hair, or like your mom thinking her race wasn't good enough... it's terrible! Too fat, be skinnier. Too ugly, wear this make-up. Too old, buy this cream.
