"A conscious dark-skinned kinky-hair Black person IS more sensitive to the abuses in the system than ANY other type of person."
Isn't this generalizing? A light-skinned black person that has been abused both by whites and by blacks because they don't fit in perfectly with either would seem to be clearly more abused to me than a dark-skinned black person who grows up in a dark-skinned community in a loving family, and with a good job in their community, etc.
My opinion is that we can hate the fact that their system prefers light-skinned over dark-skinned, but we should not let it divide us and turn us against each other. ONE black family, when we are united as such, we shall move the world.
Love And Peace,
Jah Melku
