From my perspective, Africans choose forwarding to RastafarI for different particular reasons. Yet, I should hope there is commonality in a quest to overstand oppression not only due to color, but also class, caste and ethnic(racism). Locksing from I man experience, tend to make others perceive the lockesed one as darker in complection or actually being described as ugly and spoiling up yourself etc. If one examines the crime in progress called Colonialism and the missionaries' use of of the bleading heart blond Jesus, in a nation where all the people are of the same dark black shade; one will invariably find that those who have come under the aforementioned colonial influence exalting any and every thing that has an affinity to the colonial master and his culture. This includes skin color. The primary problem as I sight it,
is how to wipe the image of the blond hair bleeding heart faggot from InI people's psychic.
And once we are successful in doing that, How do we maintain it?
As to your last statement, Do we address and solve the issue of colorism before uniting, or
do we address the issue of colorism while we simultaneously work on unity?
