Beauty standards must change

I'm fed up with beauty standards around the world being based on White supremacy. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "I have a dream that one day my four little children will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. I have a dream today."

The nursery rhyme conveying the message of colorism is: "If you're black, stay back. If you're brown, stick around. If you're yellow, you're mellow. If you're white, you're all right." This message should be avoided, as it promotes racism and colorism.
