Deja,
Been there, girl. It can be truly shocking when this happens. Epecially when the brother is dark-skinned himself. HELLO!
I once had a guy tell me that his mother would have nothing to do with his kids if they were dark-skinned. Sad....really and truly sad.
I have heard mothers tell their children to come in out of the sun because they don't want them to get too black. God forbid!
I could go on and on. Like they say, as much as things change they still stay the same. Like Darling1 says, we just have to continue to be strong and pray for the "confused" ones. We are all beautiful in God's eyes. Believe that!
