Why would I lie? I do round trips there. The only deadbeat Somali niggas you have in your life seem to like light-skins, but that doesn't mean shit. Darker chicks are loved more than light skins cause they have more prominent features. Colorism in America or whatever shithole Western country you reside is not similar to the one in Somalia/NFD. For the bleaching, I blame colonialism. Black people aren't the only ones to bleach their black beauty. Southeast Asia and other parts of the world suffer from the euro-centric beauty standard. Look, the beauty standard for Somali chicks prior to the white mans invasion was: Dark-skin. I'm gonna assume you're dark-skinned and ima tell you to that black is beautiful. But to put down other black men for the validation of white men is cringe.
