In Jamaica most everyone is black, i.e. have dark toned skin.
As contradictory as it may sound, the Jamaican people generally don't love their color. They prefer to be of a lighter complexion.
Consequently why there is a song about "browning" by renown Reggae Artist Buju Banton. However there was a rebellion by the darker toned skin women and Buju Banton made another song about :black women"
Talk about lack of exposure.
Growing up I did not know that all :shh was the same. I thought the lighter your skin the lighter the color of you shhh would be.
Despite the Junirr Reid song, that we are all one blood, and maybe the insides were different I thought.
You can't imagine my surprise when I found out that all shhh is the same color.
What erroneous views did you have as a child, jot it below.
