America Quote by Daniel Kaluuya

“I'm dark-skinned. When I'm around black people, I'm made to feel 'other' because I'm dark-skinned. I've had to wrestle with that, with people going, 'You're too black.' Then I come to America, and they say, 'You're not black enough.'” quote by Daniel Kaluuya — Download Open image
