Blacks and the "racist" ideology of saying Lighter skinned blacks do suffer racism.

You do have some retarded whites who do this, but its mostly a black thing more than anything.

Its when you have blacks, particularly darker skinned blacks who call you a racist, if you dare say lighter skinned blacks do suffer not only racism from whites, but are mistreated by darker skinned blacks.

Its the same way that you are perceived as self hating or racist for dare saying you are not just black but biracial too.

When a person says they are biracial, they know the world won't see them that way, but its part of their identity, in the same sense being black/african american is to others.

With lighter skinned blacks, they feel that they should not have to keep quiet about the racism they themselves receive for being black. Why should it only be a dark skinned black only thing when it comes to racism?

We all know that society wants division among different races...but what does that say within a race when its divided simply by skin tone due to perceived misconceptions?

All minority races have this light vs. dark issue...so its kind of easy to figure out who created the problem. Yet many who are for unifying the race have said it time and time again, it doesn't matter who started the problem, the problem is that we are still letting it happen ourselves.

That is true. As important as history is, dwelling on what happened will not fix the problem as we speak. History is important to help with the future, but its no good when you dwell on what can never be changed.
