I think most people say things like that because dark skin is an issue for them. If an AA friend of mine saw my baby for the first time (I'm AA) and said "oh, she's not that dark" I would know exactly what she meant...dark skin is looked down upon by her. Whether it's coming from an AA person or CC, it reflects the persons thoughts about dark skin. But do they mean harm? No or they wouldn't say it. It's just ignorance...and perhaps preference for lighter skin...?
