This is a long @$$ thread and forgive me for not reading it all but a few parts of 1 particular quote threw me off and I have some questions.
The scary part is, I didn't even bold this quote

Firstly, there
are black women who wear their hair natural and
DO achieve long lengths with it; I'm sure you've seen many of them here; if not look around.
"
Hyperpigmentation?!?!?!?!!?"
That term in and of itself suggests that there is some perfect or happy medium of skin color that would be considered 'normal'.
Are you speaking of uneven skin tone contrast with regard to something such as vitiligo or do you mean general dark-skinnedness?
"
Hyperpigmentation".....like it's a disease or something.
I'm sorry you feel it's a curse.
However, I shouldn't assume your stance on that since I haven't read the whole thread to see if someone else asked you the same question.
Anyway, here are some very positive videos specifically showcasing some of the most beautiful, darkest dark-skinned people you'll ever see.
