The color of skin

No,no i am not talking about racism.I am only talking of "the melanin-content" that so dyes your epidermis either glorifying it into the much desired "blond-n-blue" or the banished "black-n-kink" or simply the "brown-n-dirty".

The latter is the one i have come across most in relation to my own race.I am not a traveller so cannot speak for all nations of the world,neither for all colorings.But what i can say for sure is that The Superficial cannot be ignored.Beauty might not be skin deep but the nano-seconds the human brain takes to make first impressions hardly leaves room for much else.So what is it that makes the fairer more desirable than the darker?? I believe it couldn't just be the color alone!!

Over the course of history,the fairer pure bloods enjoyed advantages over their eclipsed cousins & the economic differences might have contributed to the upkeep,general appearance & grooming.But in this day & age when the blood lines have mitigated & "Keeping up with the Joneses" is every body's mantra .why not we care to keep up the appearances.

Money uplifts the materialistic but just maybe it still eludes the physical.

If you look deeper,the color of the skin isn't d defining factor but the color of your Whites is!! Taming your mane is..the crisp line of your trousers is...& god forbid if your sensors are not attuned to your own BO...yikes...!!!

And while the fairer cousin being blessed with a pale complexion & manageable hair can always pull off the tousled-fresh-outta bed look , the blacks,browns & the monochromes have to walk the extra mile.While the not-so-waxed arms of a darker race might earn looks which scream "Unkempt" ,the fairer one might just get away with a wax-virgin bush courtesy the blond hair.

So well the world is an unfair place & all of us don't have it easy.But the last thing we can do is to adopt a I'm-comfortable-in-my-skin stance. Or to adopt i-can-carry-off-that dingy attire attitude or I give a damn if my socks don't match or my shoe is splitting at the seam.

Believe it or not ,the impressions are racial & the award of being Sloppy goes to our very own brethren,alas!!So here on i vow, never to be identified with people who even if Brown don't bother to see the lop-sided disconnection of pleated work trousers & sports shoes ,who refuse to get the "my-birthday-present" hair cut ,who most of all are foreign to steam ironing.Why not after being the above-average IQ & an enviably college-educated race ,we not bother about that extra nip & tuck.For that's all that's needed to invite appreciative glances & be judged for more den just our brains & dexterity......Happy makeovers!!
