Question for my beautiful people of color

So i am reading a story for my English class called autobiography of an ex-colored man by James Weldon Johnson( yes the guy responsible for the black national anthem) and he talks about the moment he realized he was black and it got me thinking it's one thing to wake up and look at yourself and say im black but it's another thing to be consciously aware of your skin color now idk if this was posted before but i would love to hear about when was the first time you were aware of your skin color

(Also if it's in the wrong group sorry)
