I did a month long roofing job then work on a sail boat all summer and now skin has gotten a lot darker I mean way darker than i before i realized what had happened. I got off work looking really dirty and sketchy went in the and store stood behind a bunch of black guys and got freaked to see i was darker than some of the black guys i was in line with. I was so dark, i finally realized the weird looks i had been getting were people,thinking i was another black man in a hoodie. It made me feel weird but I look hot dark and with my shaved head i believe i could easily pass in another city as “mixed”. I find this idea attractive and am seriously thinking about permanently moving to a southern city and living as a black man.
