in Light, Bright and Damned Near White on TVOne on Jack and Jill Politics
Light skin people with curly hair feel discriminated against.


Get the hell out of here.



Do you really think if Obama was even light brown he would have a chance at the presidency. Was PBS Pinchback brown? Blanche Bruce? Edward Brooke? Thurgood Marshall? Rosa Parks? Douglas Wilder? David Dinkins? Adam Clayton Powell? Patricia Roberts Harris? WEB DuBois?



And that's just the political arena.



Let's not inject beauty standards and mating practices into the mix.



I wonder why dark skinned black women are the least likely group to be married.



Face it if you are a dark skinned black woman like myself you start out the gate with 4 strikes (nappy headed, dark, black, female) against you. Five if you are overweight.



Don't come in my face talkin' about the pain you feel. You don't know pain.
