I was WONDERING why YOUNG BLACK PEOPLE in the NATION compare THEMSELVES to IMMIGRANTS.
Are we thinking of OURSELVES as ALIENS.
Are Our Children Aliens?
Or is the CURSE from OTHERS affecting our THINKING and BEING.
Maybe this might be PART of the EXPLANATION.
I might of POSTED something LIKE this before but it NEEDS some EXAMINATION AGAIN
MEXICANS and CENTRAL AMERICANS (SIGHTING: not against) at the LOW END INDUSTRIES where WE USE to OCCUPY. LIGHT SKINNED IMMIGRANTS in the UPPER END.
MIDDLE PART already CROWDED and being BROKEN UP by the UPPER and LOWER by RUTHLESS WHITE and GREATER SOCIETY with CHANTS of DIVERSITY.
What is our YOUTH going to DO?
Some REAL ACTION needing REAL SOLUTIONS.

Immigrant skin tone linked to salary
People with light complexions earn more, study finds

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Light-skinned immigrants in the United States make more money on average than those with darker complexions, and the chief reason appears to be discrimination, a researcher says.
Joni Hersch, a law and economics professor at Vanderbilt University, looked at a government survey of 2,084 legal immigrants to the United States from around the world and found that those with the lightest skin earned an average of 8% to 15% more than similar immigrants with much darker skin.

"On average, being one shade lighter has about the same effect as having an additional year of education," Hersch said.
The study also found that taller immigrants earn more than shorter ones, with an extra inch of height associated with a 1% increase in income.
Other researchers said the findings are consistent with other studies on color and point to a skin-tone prejudice that goes beyond race.
Hersch took into consideration other factors that could affect wages, such as English-language proficiency, education, occupation, race or country of origin, and found that skin tone still seemed to make a difference in earnings.
