One would think that after folks like Adam Clayton Powell, Walter White, Thurgood Marshall, W.E.B. Du Bois, Malcolm X, Elijah Muhammad, and many others too numerous to mention, had fought so hard to relieve African people of the miserable shackles of White Supremacy around the world, that we would not be judging a lighter shaded African as a cut below a darker shaded AFrican, but yet we still do...
What is interesting to me are the number of turncoat tomming Negroes who are darker-hued like Clarence Thomas and Roy Inniss can catch a serious pass because of this ridiculous color-coding system... Don't matter how hard a light-skinned brother or sister picks it and lays it down for African people, they're somehow LESS THAN to some of us who are darker, as well as Lighter... Yeah, even Light-Skinned Black folks engage in this color coding, so this is not a slam on darker hued brothers and sisters, as much as it it is a clarion for all of us to lay down this garbage, and dig ourselves... Afterall, aint none of us can SCIENTIFICALLY prove the superiority of dark-skinned Africans over light-skinned Africans, and we cannot say that darker skinned Africans are more loyal and loving than lighter skinned Africans... So what's the damned point of this except but to divide us all into self-imposed little tribes??? How much better are we, overall, than those high-yellow Black Elites who keep themselves fenced off from those of us who are darker and somewhat poorer??? Y'all, who thinks your being more highly melinated than the next brother, explain SCIENTIFICALLY, what makes you superior...
Peace!
