    I agree... I was adressing the fact that, alot of ppl wanna pin colorism on the black community, as if we started it, we were taught it.
    Still, it ain't no excuse that we engage in it, in 2015 as well.

    You mean people's approval of others reflects how closely those people look like them? You don't say.

    Yea

    So this is all about familiarity

    We naturally assume people who look different than us are not as smart and/or criminal

    Our enviorment, the media plays no role in exacerbating these fears, shaping our views of others

    It's just the ways things have always been, right?

    I'm being sarcastic by the way

    Doesn't quite explain why even blks have been shown to have a subconscious bias against darker skinned blks

    Or, to a lesser extent, why subjects recall a blk person with whom they shared a positive experience with being lighter than what they actually were

    get the sand out of your ? , I have no issue with mixed people it's their parents that deserve a kick AND for every famous mixed person you named there are many more mixed people who don't give a ? about black people or even consider themselves black so kindly ? off with your fallacies.

    most black slaves owners were mulatoes.

    the point is that lambasting someone for being mixed race is ridiculous b/c all the people on that list have black in them and most of them have done great things for black people in America. It's more a response to zombie than it is to this thread in general.

    .
    I see where u coming from, n agree, yet Race mixing can cause confusion.

    also, Last i checked..black ppl are the primary group of ppl that, accept ppl of mix race as theyre own.
    ? ,white ppl created the one drop rule..

    For the people who keep talking about how bad race mixing is, even if you have a point what you need to do is to talk about the main cause of race mixing: black women.

    That is all.

    I NEVER implied that.

    I simply said we don't need to create more mixed race people I.e no more Al B Sure ? . NOW lets be ? real MOST black people are so ? light because of race mixture. There are tribes in africa that are light skinned but they are the minority, so where did all these red bones come from???? race mixing.

    it's a practice we need to minimize as much as possible because the long term effects of it will not be good for the majority of black folks

    You kinda implied it by saying light brite al b sure ? ... I assumed you meant all light skin people's.... But if you didn't OK

    I don't think you have the clout to determine the genealogy of "all these redbones" around the globe

    I'm light skin and don't have a white ancestor as far back as my family can trace...that we know of

    whate creates problems is that a MULATO aka METISSE aka mixed is neither white or black. when you mix red and blue you got green and you call it green. if you tell me that a mix individual has a white culture or a black one i can agree

    as far as the light skin vs dark skin black idiocy you already know my opinion about it

    that the thing ive never understood. a white car is different from a black one . a beige car is not a black one. a yellow car is not a black one.
    surprisingly when it comes to race. either you are white or black. Fat Joe can say he has a Black culture yet he is not black . Yin lives a black culture yet he is not black. that is the same with Drake and Obama imo.

    they are the bridges to race. they are the symbol of ANTI RACISM not RACE COMPETITION.

    Discussions like this are designed to zap your energy. It is only somewhat valid because there is more of them in America. Other than that, don't invest. it doesn't matter what they think, the main thing that matters is what u know...and how you move in that.
