In Learning To Be White by Doctor Thandeka, She says in the preface that “no one is born white”, which can also be used as no one chooses to be born their race (preface). It is one of the biggest factors that causes discrimination. It started for me at the age of four-years old. It was about a year…

that I only wanted black baby dolls. I remember wishing to be the black Barbie doll. I would throw pennies into wishing wells and make wishes on shooting stars that I would wake up as the black Barbie. It was then that I realized the difference of my white skin in comparison to my idol that had dark skin.
