No one is saying but the majority of them are mixed and there is nothing wrong with that
You probably think the Egyptians or East African are Sub Saharan Negros.
Better yet, do you think Creole people are black? Do you guys still go by the one-drop rule? Lmao.
Nope -

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
im not sure why you're befuddled on colorism because it all stems from slavery and the access to whiteness & it's many privileges/benefits. -
Who wants to end this?
Who wants to say ? it and look the other way?
Ima need both groups to never get in contact with each other until both have found common ground.

Y'all get befuddled on every thread with the mention of race. We all need to conglomerate in peace.

Don't really need an article to tell me what I already know, but for some reason confirmation does help comfort me in knowing what I see is for real and it is documented as fact over opinion. Good stuff. Sad thing is the brainwashing we also have on the light skin issue. Hispanics and Indians and the Asians have it too. It's tooooooooooooooooooooo deep. They all preferring light skin when it comes to their women. Makes me now feel guilty for dating a light skin sister......nah. Love for dark-skinned and light skin, but that light skin over dark skin thing is out of hand

That is all.

Colorism was around before slavery
But yea your right in regards to the colorism and light skinned privedge we see today in America and many other countries, it all stems from slavery
