Today's lesson, Racism. If you see something written here that you’ve said or done, use it as an opportunity. Take it as a wake up call and make the decision to grow, change and be conscious of your own privilege. Remember, I am not a speaker for the entirety of a people.

(The term “brownin’” refers to someone who has used a chemical to lighten or brown their skin.)

“brownin” can simply mean someone who is light skinned. I never knew it to mean that they have bleached it

‘brownin’ actually refers to someone with natural light skin, not chemically altered.
