i came across this post a guy did last night on another blog where he stated,
now i’m not new to this phenomenon, but can i ask WTF is up with this #teamlightskinned #teamdarkskinned? don’t blacks deal with enough prejudice and racism in the world? now you’re gonna make a sub-category of racism in our own culture?!
i couldn't agree more with him. i've recently logged on a little more to twitter and i see it a lot. #teamlightskinned, #teamdarkskinned. and its not even about loving your skin tone its about going against one another which in my mind, makes no sense. and i really see this with the females which is actually no surprise at all but i really hate that its come to this. one does not have to be better than the other..Spike Lee directed a film School Daze in '88 which was more about people in a fraternity and sorority going back and forth with each other, but when it came to the two sorority’s portrayed, at one point they went IN on opposing sorority about their skin color and hair. which sounds a lot like today and we're 23 years later. i just would really like to see women of color #teamunited or just #teamblackgirlsrock as in all shades.

Competing with one another over skin color only sets us back and only accepts the Eurocentric standards as beautiful.
