Wow. This was deep — a child thanking God in her prayers that she is light…

Yikes!

Maybe I missed it, were you raised in a black family? Interracial?

I have a friend who has a mother whose skin was much lighter than hers and she suffered from a sense of inferiority for years.

Interesting that you not only associated darker skin with being less attractive, but also with other negative attributes, such as anger and unhappiness.

Thanks for sharing.
