KeKe Palmer Wanted To Be Light Skin!!!

 The 20-year-old actress — who plays the role of Chilli in VH1′s upcoming TLC biopic — has revealed she was uncomfortable in her beautiful brown skin, during her early childhood years.
“It wasn’t until I was 13 that I really learned to appreciate my skin color.” ~KeKe Palmer
When considering her Illinois hometown — consisting of a predominately Black population — being a young Black girl in the 90′s, she wasn’t the only young girl feeling that insecurity. Know why? Because lighter skin were generally the only ones who were cast.

 She told Hollywood Confidential:
“When I was like 5 years old I used to pray to have light skin because I would always hear how pretty that little light skin girl was, or I would hear I was pretty ‘to be dark skinned.’ It wasn’t until I was 13 that I really learned to appreciate my skin color and know that I was beautiful. We need to stop separating ourselves by how dark or how light we are. I have been the same complexion all my life and if you think otherwise don’t follow me.”
