It's hard to explain to the youth of today why skin color is such a sensitive topic, but think of it this way...

It is perfectly fine to have your personal preference, but it is important to at least understand why some have developed this preference in the first place.

Nearly 400 years of colonization has deeply impacted how we view ourselves. Colonizers drilled our supposed inferiority into our collective consciousness. There was a point in history when we were repeatedly referred to as little brown brothers, implying we were barbaric and needed civilizing.

Fast forward to today when diversity is more celebrated, but the subconscious messaging in advertising, entertainment and even well-meaning titas who comment in shock on how dark you've become, still push the narrative that it's nicer to be white.

Again, it's not an issue if you prefer lighter skin, but when someone is proudly brown, it's best to leave them alone. Do not retouch their photos or tell them they look better pale.

The historical and cultural struggle of the proud kayumanggi to declare his/her equal worth is so profoundly meaningful, it stings to be told flippantly that one looks better lighter.

This P-pop idol is more than just a pretty face. His Bisaya songs are a declaration of his pride and joy in his language and roots.

Apologies #Felip fans. I forgot Superiority. How could I forget? 😭 I added it to the list.

My fresh deep dive into Superiority yielded a bit of a surprise. 🤯This song touches on human psychology and is more intricate than it seems. Complex indeed!

@chibababy1 I have a secondary reason for writing about him. His videos need to be added onto good websites. This'll help him get found by new fans. Just my little contribution to help move the dial for him 🖤 Great artists need support.

[Pinoy Wit @pinoywit]

@chibababy1 Actually, I really have my sights on Bulan next. Haha. Best fit for a history and culture blog 😄 But I also write for other sites. More articles about him soon 🤘

[Pinoy Wit @pinoywit]

@chibababy1 Thank you ❤️ I already thought highly of his EP before, but after all of my immersive research, I'm starting to realize even more how much of a gem Complex is. He's a genius. I could go on and on, even mount a lecture on this 😂

@oliv13735 Totoo po ito. Ang saya na marami na gustong matuto mag Bisaya dahil sa kanya😊

[Pinoy Wit @pinoywit]

@Lenshapogo @felipsuperior Maraming salamat po 🙏 I am amazed at how brave Felip is promoting his roots. An artist worth supporting through and through.
