Do you guys ever get sad about the lack of positive darkskinned black women representation?

I think about this often. I feel like I’m playing a losing game when searching for positive representation with darker skinned black women. Something that I’ve noticed is that even when darkskinned black women are including in a form of media, they’re almost always given garbage writing, intentionally written to sound like idiots and annoying, intentionally sabotaging franchises because the creators know how fragile racists are. I feel like it’s all a ploy to enrage anger and vitriol towards black women. Society has gone back 30 years, and not in a good way when creativity and talent were at their peak. As much as I’d love to see a beautiful, darkskinned black female character be the protagonist or love interest , I know that racists would call it “woke” and probably have it cancelled immediately. The world hates black female characters way too much for my liking.
