Why Melanin don't "POP SEVERELY" in real life




It's 12:41 am and my eyes are heavy but scrolling through Instagram makes me want to write about the obvious .. 
Why is our shade a TREND ? 
Why is it that my melanin only "pops" online when in real life WE both know that it will be overlooked ? 
#blackgirlmagic was created to allow black girls to feel beautiful and like they matter 
But why only use it for a hashtag when there's nothing else behind it ? 
All in the name of social media.
Cause the girl you complimented online about her shade, you just made fun of in real life.
The hypocrisy is a shame .
In the back of our minds we know that it's really the "lightskins" that get all the attention right ? 

My melanin is not a trend. 
Be genuine with compliments. 
Uplift in person just as how you "uplift" on social media. 
Or don't say anything at all.
