Black girls & tanning?

Okay, so I'm a black chick(light to medium complected) During the winter I'm kinda pale lookin'(high yellow) So I decided to try out some tanning lotion and it came out looking really good. I looked like I had been vacationing in Hawaii, or some place.


Anyways, these girls at my job were seriously hatin' on me for that. Callin' me a 'white girl' and stuff. I just told em' to kick rocks.


I don't see what the big deal is. Yeah, I know it's not common for black girls to be using tanning products, since we have a year-round tan. But what's wrong wtih wanting to add to look sun-kissed every now %26amp; then during the winter?

Black girls %26amp; tanning?
Believe it or not, alot of black girls do it. From light to dark. I'm just brown, I like to get tans. I like to be one color all over. There are many black celebs that get tans as well. for example beyonce,oprah. People need to know, just because someone is of a certain race with darker skin doesn't mean they have limits to what they can do.

Reply:Nothing is wrong. The problem is that you should have never told them...let the wonder how you stay so lovely all year round. jealousy is a *****, don't give your secrets out.
Reply:Well, I prefer darker skinned people so I can't hate on you for wanting to be darker. Now if you wanted to be lighter, I would think you were a wanna be white girl.
