This is a good movie, i cant compare because im lightskin. But now in our generation black well DARK girls are really pretty nd gets lots of attention. I hated the fact they wantedto be lighter be yourself nd show what god made you.
This documentary made me feel proud to be of my race. My color. I felt their pain and misery through their stories. Even though im not dark skinned i am a darker shade of brown. Golden. My mother told me to embrace my color because its unique. Its 1 in a million. Im like no other. So young black women need to be more confident because God made you in his image not man’s.
Dark Girls was very compelling. It really makes you think, not just about racism from the outside, but racism within your own race.
