Beauty. The need of it however much refuted, is always sought. The defined conceptions make some the "other". The ones accepted almost always make it a point to declare their victory.
It also happens that the colonialist conception of "White is Beautiful" has still not died out.
And one finds solace in Nadine Gordimer's description of the White skin. They are like plain white paper she says. Like an incomplete picture. Whereas we, the "colored" ones are the complete painting. Full of hues and complete.
I hate to admit but yes I suffer from the terrible complex from having the worst skin possessed by human flesh. There is nothing I have not had on my face. Well, almost. And I am trying to grow into that phase where I just won't care. Because I have so much more than your looks.
So, I'll see you when you wash my car.
