<p>Dark skinned black women have long been the target of harsh remarks about the color of their skin. Colorism is a very real issue within the black community, and JT opened up about a loved one of hers who hid their bias in the form of a joke about her complexion.</p>
<p>In a few tweets, <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/quality-control-music-ceo-pierre-pee-thomas-says-new-city-girls-album-is-coming-in-90-days/">JT</a> remembers a person in her life who would joke about her skin color and insult her beauty by calling her &#8220;black and crunchy&#8221;. She gets candid and says that the comments did cause her to have insecurity issues, but not anymore!</p>
<p>&#8220;I can&#8217;t believe someone I laid with and thought was my friend before anything sat round b**ches and called me black and crunchy,&#8221; she tweeted. &#8220;When he say that to me I be thinking be joking but he really feel that way wow!</p>

<p>JT continues saying that she has gotten over being insecure about the way that she looks, and is confident in her beauty and her pretty dark skin.</p>
<p>&#8220;I had insecurity issues for a minute but I know I&#8217;m that b**ch now! I know I&#8217;m pretty dark and all.&#8221;</p>
<p>Some of JT&#8217;s fans came to her defense, sending her words of encouragement and reminding her that the criticism she gets doesn&#8217;t matter as long as she loves herself.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s so sad that females of brown complexion and darker really get criticized about their complexion. It&#8217;s sooo toxic,&#8221; one fan tweeted. &#8220;Notmalize all shades of brown being BEAUTIFUL. Expose all the colorist. It&#8217;s even more toxic when its somebody you know.&#8221;</p>
<p>Personally, we feel JT is beautiful and she is out here KILLIN IT! What do y&#8217;all think, Roomies?</p>
