[CW043]

@MultiCoexist You know History proves that in situations of having to make a cultural dceision to live as a black person or oppress blacks... bi-ethnic people most often and more than likely choose the side of thier non-black parent...

[pinfold1000]

bullshit my mom is fair and my dad is dark as hell my mother family could all pass for white or Mexican but call themselves black. this is just left over brainwashing of Americas sick colonial past where if you were light enough to pass for white you got a seat at masters table just to abuse your own blood. little clicks like jack and Jill were designed to prevent black community and identity so white men could exploit us further the Devil is a liar! I claim all my people my blood is yours.

[1KillaSkrilla1]

@pinfold1000 What is the Jack & Jill organization? ..

[pinfold1000]

jack and jill was formed by The 1 % of elite blacks to start a dating pool just for there children to keep their money trying to replicate the cast system like the Kellogg or the cokes or the Hilton families trying to start black old money families.

[CW043]

@pinfold1000 RESPECT for your post!

When will we see the realities of divison.

[GardiniaBloom]

What people need to realize is that there is no such thing as race. Race is a white supremacists invention. A huge problem in the so-called African American community is that they define themselves by color/race not by culture or heritage. I challenge any one to look at other cultures and see where they define themselves by their race. They don't.

[wolof2000]

colorism is a serious problem among American blacks it wears erodes our racial self image, there are far too many African Americans who are affected by color bias in a negative way.It is one thing to just watch films like The Blue Vein Society and another to watch it and decide what steps you can take to help end this ongoing problem among us. If we could bring back the 1st generation of Africans that landed in America I know they would be sad, because colorism didn't exist among them.

[zion3631]

Yes, what the Europeans did to Blacks (Israelites) as a people was a disgrace!, but what is even MORE hateful is what we a blacks do to each other. As a light-skinned black (Israelite), I have been called everything, but a child of God. Our brown & black sisters have made me feel like I made & created myself & chose this fair skin color. I have been prejudged as a stuck-up "think she all that" you not black enough (what does that even mean?) man stealing woman and that's before I even say HI.

[CW043]

@zion3631 you should feel pity for the hostile person. Thier anger speaks more to how they see themselves then how they see you. It also confirms that they have completly bought into the idea of white being superior. when in FACT iy is the just the oppisite. Blacks who think less of themselves and others because they are plentiful with melinan are in fact super ignorant and completely TRICKED!

Melinan is an priceless gift from the Most High... and the more you have the better.

[BassBwoy3]

Oh man! I'm Bermudian too!! I'm black (dark brown complexion) but I recently was slightly jealous of another light skinned guy who worked in my office cuz everyone liked him.

[CW043]

@asurething24 What do you mean Black American sperm... You put black Americans in a room with our Brothers and you will NOT know the difference...

We are AFRICANS!

[nileprods]

Thanks for your feedback, people. As a fair-skinned, African American from Los Angeles, I've had to endure racist remarks by my own people such as being called "white girl," saying I have white people's hair, I'm always asked what am I mixed with? And when I say I'm just "black" they try to tell me I can't be ALL black. Who is ALL black in America anyway. & frankly, does it really matter? That's why I want to shoot a feature doc on this subject so we can get over colorism issues.

[1Meeshe011]

@nileprods Def check out my blog meeshe011.blogspot.com

[GardiniaBloom]

@nileprods Hello. Congrats on your documentary!

[CW043]

@nileprods There are Many all black Americans... I will NEVER understand how the originals dominant gene has come to believe they are some how retaining the weaker gene charateristics of some caucaisian from hundreds of years ago...

not to mention not all Blacks were slaves and not all Caucasian slave owners raped and produced with thier slaves.

[Nightberrii]

@nileprods you always feel the need to put that african "american" part in it instead of just african!

[QDMinistries]

it really should not matter really what color you are? watch my video as i break it down for you... video entitled Light Skin Dark Skin issues in the Church.

I hope this video will enlighten you somewhat..

[RoyMustang289]

I was also at church one time, and this White lady came up to me and asks, "Excuse me... what are you mixed with?" I told her my mother was half Black and she tells me, "Oh, no wonder. Your hair is so beautiful and so is your skin! I'm sorry that that may sound weird, it's that my sister is marrying a Black man and I was just wondering what their baby would come out looking like." This documentary is very interesting.

[RoyMustang289]

"mixed". They'd always touch my curly hair and tell me what they'd do if they had hair like that, or how "pretty" my lips were. My mother always had the same thing happening with her. She's always fought with Black girls because they didn't accept her because she was "light" or looked "mixed" therefore couldn't be like them. I went into a wig store with a Black friend of mine and the lady tells me, "Oooo what I would do for your hair, boy! Let me make a wig outta that!" Awkward.

[RoyMustang289]

I think it goes beyond skin color. I think Black Americans are more fascinated by facial features and things like hair before skin color. For example, in Cuba there are people called "Moros", which their skin is dark, but they have completely white facial features and hair. I am Hispanic: My mother is Afro-Cuban and Mexican, and my dad is Spanish descended Dominican. I get confused for just about everything. But when I talk to Black people, they'd look at my admiringly and ask me if I was

[MrEwnet]

Part 1

First I want to make it clear that none of us has a right to determine our birth. We didn’t choose to be white, black, Asian or something else however miscegenation/race mixing is the worst thing that happen to black people.

[MrEwnet]

Part 2

The creation of mulattos or biracial people complicated the struggle of black people for equality and justice! Why? because white people didn’t want to accept black people so they started mingling their blood with black people and created a new offspring like Beyonce, Obama, W.E.B Dubois to name a few.

[MrEwnet]

Part 3

These Mulatos or biracial people are categorized as a black people but unfortunately they don’t exhibit the true physical appearance of black people and because of this near white appearance they receive better treatment from white dominated society.

[MrEwnet]

Part 4

Because white people are economically dominant they made everything whites a standard. For instance a blond hair that looks like a dog hair or a horse hair, narrow face with small narrow nose, white skin etc becomes the standard. So most of the time people have to exhibit these physical appearances or near these physical appearances to be accepted socially and advance economically specially in the entertainment industry.

[MrEwnet]

Part 5

Individuals that maintain their pure black physical appearance are discriminated against not only by white people but also by mullatos or biracial people as well. Brain washed black people with white heads are the worst prejudice, particularly those that are ghettoish and gangster looking once

[CW043]

@MrEwnet Yes they are and history proves this to be the truth.

[Thedarksecret1]

The first female in this video is white. I don't care if she has black ancestry.

[Imanpan]

@Thedarksecret1 why are you here?

[Thedarksecret1]

@Imanpan Because this is a free country (i.e. United States) and I can be. What's your point exactly?

[NeverContactMe]

@Thedarksecret1 White enough, my friend.

[NeverContactMe]

@Thedarksecret1 I do agree. Remember, people, it's not just skin color.

[DominicanoOR]

@Thedarksecret1 ignant.

[Thedarksecret1]

@DominicanoOR You must be black!!

[DominicanoOR]

@Thedarksecret1 and with blue eyes and blond hair plus her skintone. blackness in this country has been understood by us to more or less mean that one is a descendant in any line or degree from the kidnapped africans. i am proud to be white chocolate.

[Thedarksecret1]

@DominicanoOR You're not white chocolate. You're just white.

[DominicanoOR]

@Thedarksecret1 oh...ok...thanx dude

[Thedarksecret1]

@DominicanoOR My pleasure.

[chitown080977]

[TheBsheep]

@chitown080977 u need to smoke a blunt wit me.....

[GTSouljah187]

@chitown080977 LMAOOOO your soo mad ignorant that I feel sorry for you . You can say nigger this and nigger that but at the end of the day my penis is still larger than yours :)

[MaxamillianArturo]

@GTSouljah187 And at the end of the day your intellect will be much smaller, and the white man will still be running things and giving you your daily bread. Your welcome boy...

[CW043]

@GTSouljah187 says "LMAOOOO your soo mad ignorant that I feel sorry for you."

Thank you, I had some other choice words for this individual... but you said it all and made me laugh as well...

[MultiCoexist]

I know many light skinned, mixed raced blacks who grew up in black neighborhoods and got beat up by darker skinned blacks. Many of the other ethnic groups such as Latins and Asians who lived in the same neighborhood got along better with the darker skinned blacks. They were actually better accepted and liked by dark skinned blacks.

I think it is safer for really fair skinned or "Passe Blanc" looking people to live in their own neighborhoods.

[AllthingsSweet22]

@MultiCoexist thank you.

[Kinksgalore]

Great video!
