Whats a good color for braces for me?
When I had braces, I always thought that the color blue/dark blue looked really good. It made your teeth look very white and it looks nice. During holidays I would ask if I could have alternating colors such as green and red, orange and black, etc. I would personally keep away from bright colors because they can get stained and make your teeth look dirty.
Darker colors always look nice and look clean.
Some light colors like pink, and sky blue look nice too.
My favorite color was personally purple because it was dark and girly[:
Good Luck!

Black and White Americans continue to define themselves and each other according to the “slave mentality” that existed from the time that the first African was brought here. Whites on top, Blacks on the bottom and when it became clear that there would be “mixing”, both sides had to do something to protect their own images. So we became redbones, high yellas, mulattos and mustees, hated and envied by both. Time to clean this shit up! Racism through apathy is still racism!
Ironically the advert next to your video is for a skin lightening product! If I were you I would have a few choice words with YouTube for using your channel to advertise the most unappropriated products. Your beautiful by the way
i have to cousins that are sister one is very light while the other is very darksin same mother and father ages 10 & 8 . they are both very beautiful and very confident . i think that it has to do with our family confidence. we dont really care for skin color & i agree with you ti alot of like to blame music video’s for not feeling pretty. i really dont care we shouldnt be paying attention to music videos !

@vivathedivaTV Where are you living? I wish my light skin wouldn’t have me at a disadvantage. It takes telling people I’m Greek to have them leave me alone. Yikes!
A lot of dark skinned girls think I think I’m the shit and stuff because I’m light skinned and have long hair. But it’s the total opposite.
Just because slavery ended ” SO LONG AGO” racism did not.
People should study genetics, Black history and the brainwashing of Blacks . The Black media does not include dark skinned women as romantic leads / glamorous which is what younger Black girls are looking to see.Darker skin=overweight,funny domestic to often.
We are repeating the same behavior of whites who bullied/harassed Blacks. See the book “Brainwashed”
They should understand the men (usually dark) have self-hate issues. Light skinned women do not want to be a “trophy of some self hating Black man.
Are you serious black bitches got too much self esteem
STFU, Dark-Skinnned sisters: Yall hot and yall the WHITE MAN: Both BW (light or dark) and WM Yall both hate BM!!
love this
I used to feel the same way when I was little. My mom is very light skinned and my dad is dark skinned, so my color is one of those shades in between. My sister and brother get their color from my mom. I used to hate when people find out I was related to them. I would always get “Why are you so dark?” Why aren’t you light skinned like them” Why don’t you look nothing like them” Why? Why? Why?
It doesn’t bother me anymore. God made no mistakes when making me. So you either take it or leave it

I used to feel the same way when I was little…I thought I was pretty/gorgeous because of my family and also my own thoughts. I did not start feeling bad until I started noticing “boys” it went down hill from there.
I LOVE YOU! N UR SOO RIGHT! it is sad but at the same time i dont blame ppl for tryna bleach their skin becuzz they’re tryna live up to the society’s standards….i wuddnt say its self hate becuzz if it was, im sure there wudd be a high suicide rate
I think it sad that the slave masters are in their grave yet over 100 years later their legacy still lives i can’t believe black people are doing this to themselves it’s really sad.
