Sometimes when I write black women I feel like I have to be like SHES BLACK! SHES DARK SKINNED! SHE HAS BEAUTIFUL DARK EYES! SHES DARK SKINNED AND BEAUTIFUL SHES BLACK! because I know that a lot of ppl would imagine a white woman if it's not expressly stated that shes black and even if they do imagine her as black they'll default to a light skinned woman especially if she's described as beautiful or she's a romantic interest
