I am so tired of this crap. There is only one race. You want to be a part of it, or you want to argue semantics. They answered this on fricking NOVA. Most scientist believe that people came from the actual societal cradle: Africa. If your name isn't Kandinsky you don't get to comment on color theory. Shut up. You're an ignorant she beast. Blood and water. We all got blood and we all need water, so shut up and solve a damn problem. Race doesn't exist. It's a pretense. There is Have and Have Not.
If you people think racism was only created by the white man you should hear what asians say about everyone,seriously you need to get out and experience the world and see that opressing others is what humans do best. I bet very few of you blk Americans give a shit about any of the Arabs your gov has killed for oil?
Slavery is still happening.. EVALUATE YOUR MIND!! the chain is somewhat invisible beleive me.. its the WORSE THINKING YOU ARE FREE - CAUSE YOU DON'T SEE THE JAIL BARS BUT YOU ARE ACTUALLY BEING IMPROSONED SUBCONSCIOUSLY
To me the only race that matters is the human race. I think that people need to learn from the past, and they need to live in this day now and focus on our commonalities as humans, rather than continue focusing on the differences.
As a species, we are all beautiful, we are all human.
@collectorofcrap Your comment has not a thing to do with this video. This video focuses on the Black community. Learn to listen. White folks have nothing to do with this damn video. Take that BS somewhere else.
you need to stop talking about slavery like you were a slave..ok honestly i feal like alot of black people have a chip on there shoulder aout slavery..im white,i never owned slaves and your black and you never were a slave!so how are you still mad about it..your keeping racism going!there is such thing as reverse racism towards whites.black people need to wake up and realize that they are the ones that are being racist most of the time!!why even bring it up ever,your obsessed with being racist!!
Some people have this idea that slavery ended at the end of the Civil War. It did not. I see people in the black community being socially and economically held down, and I don't think slavery ended. It only really started to end with the civil rights movement, but we have a long way to go. If equal rights are not available to ALL of us, then none of us are really free. How can we be, if it's so easy for any one group to be targeted for hate and discrimination? Slavery is over? Really??
It is time to start moving past the issue and start living in harmony and peace. To bring up the past only serves to bring up negativity. Everyone must evolve and put the past behind them and look towards a bright future no matter what the color of their skin. Ignorance is only a lack of understanding and being educated properly will overcome this. Hatred and prejudice do not exist naturally, they must be learned. Fortunately, most things that can be learned, can also be un-learned. Start today!
Im sorry sis you are gravely mistaken. Not all slaves were treated bad thats just not logical at all there were slaves that played the game of power with their masters to get treated better. And the females in the house got fucked that would make the master have an emotional attachment with them which will also get them treated better. Now the masters half breed kids also got treated better its their own kids. Equality does not exist understand this to obtain power or work in the field nigga
@AtlantaSistah While I respect what you were saying and even appreciate you taking the time to say it, I have to disagree with the "Slaves were slaves" point. There was a hierarchy of slaves and that is somewhat what this whole condition stems from. Lighter skinned slaves, often house Negros were treated better, and that is what made light skin more desirable. The concept of light as beauty also came into play from this situation.
There is more to like about yourself than your outter appearance anyway,people who assume that you have low self esteem just because you don't approve of your looks don't understand that. They think that your value lies outside. I feel that I am a cool person but I don't like the way that I look.I don't feel like I'm inferior to anyone at all though
Amazingly close minded. Who CARES about your skin color. Who cares. It does'nt matter. Wether your black or white. Grow up. Listen to some michael jackson. We are all humans. HUMANS. On ONE EARTH. Get it. Rascisim will continue as long as you keep segregating YOURSELF.
Im 16 yrs old, and i am medium shade of brown. Every where i moved to my friends always said how they have good hair, or wished that they have and lighter skin. I had to learn love my skin color and i take pride in it and i even wear my hair kinky.I love what black history accomplished and im thankful for being part of it. We should be taking pride in our skin color and not putting other skin color down.If you tell a person you dislike their skin color than you must have a problem with your own
I think modern media is no better than the KKK. Our women take off their clothes used as commodities and understand there is a recipe for hate that rappers used. That recipe includes promoting hate, murder, and disrespecting of women and chasing riches. Whatever happened to pride it seems we have lost it.
I really liked your video, you have a good head on your shoulders and don't let anyone here on Youtube or anywhere else get to you with their negative bashing shit, wow. And I think your'e pretty! Peace!
I don't think light skin/dark skin is as much of an issue with men because it's more about a man's status, prestige, etc. than his appearance. Seems like its an issue, with women because of regardless of race, women are more likely to be judged by what is considered beautiful.
Very well said. :] I'm Caucasian and i'm 16, and I can't stand when people treat others differently for their Skin tone or race. I mean come on, Just grow up? Like, it's not whats on the outside, it's whats on the inside. Thinking about it, the world would be boring if we all looked similar. A skin tone, is a skin tone, just like a slave is a slave, it doesn't change who you are personality wise. Fuck the hierarchy, everyone should be treated equally.
People are beautiful regardsless of skin colour. However, I met some black women who want to marry someone with lighter skin because they want their children to be fair. I find this very strange. Thanks for sharing this video with youtube.
my cousins girlfriends skin color is very white but she has african american hair. so one day at a party my cousin said his girlfriend spoke Italian and people were like isnt she black? and he said um no shes whiter than all of you. and my grandmother said listen its not about the skin color its about the hair and features.
YOU ARE 100% right !!!!!!!!!!! At the end of the day we all BLACK !! It's high time ignorant people stopped thinking some slaves were better than others. A slave is a slave and light skin people are also black.. PERIOD !!
Your so right , im dutch but it can make me so angry seeing people are judging just on the outside . Speak as you wanna speak , and be who you wanne be , you cant change the outside but thats no even necesary.. A human beeing is a human beeing , god made us in diffrent colours just to see who REALY LOVES NO MATTER WHAT and who judge without knowing a thing.. keep up the good work.
Im brown skinned I love my black ppl men & women no homo on the woman part I jus wanna see all my black ppl together happy and lovin 1 anotha lets make peace not war please black ppl
@AtlantaSistah How can you feel that stuff when you weren't born back then? Or in what way you feel like it affects blacks today? I know like "the main effect" of slavery in today's African American society, but I'd like to hear from you first cause it seems like most black people are way off on this one.
they saw and WWII only lasted 6 years imagine 300!!! and you still dodging white people; whites still raping, an using you and putting you in jail or lynching you up until 40 years ago? That means great-grandma, grandma, mom and dad have been passing those ideas down and their baggage because they never dealt with it. Do white people think critically or is this also part of white privilege? C'mon people. the black problem is everyone's problem. Let us stop being so judgmental
@AtlantaSistah some of the so called ramifications u talk bout is jus made up by u lot becoz of ur bitterness of wot the white mannn did to uu. its ur fault if u still have a slave mentality. if u blame the white man nw then it jus shows hw mentaly weak u ppl are.
@Ratbeeitch All I have to say to that comment is that we are all slaves in America and it never ended for us BLACK PEOPLE...... Please wake up and do your homework look around you.... What do you own? Or shall I say what do you think you own..... White people are in the same boat we're in.... and this argument over Dark & Light is nothing compared to what's really going on, that's why it is so easy to get over on us, because we as a people will fall for anything.
@Ratbeeitch the effects of racism, colorism, & isms still exist. You people kill me thinking because the physical act ended the emotional isn't there. I work in corporate America it has really made me not care for others because many are hateful bigots. Prison modern days slavery labeling black male children placing them in emotionally handicap classes is modern day slavery. Really learn your history & take a large view at society.
Not true. Slavery changed into other forms. You think slave owners, merchants, large landowners just said, "well, there you go; thanks for 300 years of unpaid labor and allowing us to brainwash you and strip you from all sense of your culture. here, have a few dollars on me."? It never happened. What did happen is that blacks were still being bullied up until the late 1970's and the psychological effects of slavery were never dealt with. Holocaust survivors talk about the sh't
Thank you my sister...just to add to what you are saying historically "a slave is a slave" you were either worked from sun up to sun down until you died in the field after about seven years or you were rapped in the House and dreaded pregnancy for fear that they might have a daughter who would be rapped hence their progeny would be incestuous everything else about those histories is mythology.
lol what a load of stupid shit. and yes i can laugh at all this garbage. for starters your american . if you lived somewhere with a hotter climate your gonna have darker skin and so will your kids kids kids kids kids. what a load of shitt and are you so Naive you think black people were the only people to be slaves . black people still enslave there own people. even the english were slaves in there own country for the longest time hundreds of thousands died of starvation and disease ect.ect.
It's refreshing to hear someone make the point that dark or light skinned we are all women. Regardless of race, skintone, whatever we are on the same team and hating on each other makes us weaker as a group. No matter what color we all go through the same hardships with men, children, pms, insecurities etc etc.
i'ma jus add my 2 cents. like the sista said, a slave is a slave. as long as u got that kink in your hair, or your great grandparent is black, better believe whites r gonna consider u to be black. lightskin and darkskin is something the whiteman caused. simply put, they cant destroy us all, so y not bring up something and let us go at each other. it absolutely peeves me when someone calls me mixed race or half cast. i am BLACK and i LOVE black ppl bcos it is who i am. and i am PROUD!!
making diffrence between people is stupis ! when u say white peopl ,white man white women - or black people , black man , black women and talk about them as If all they r is colors !!!
light skin dark skin -white skin whatever ! we all equal and beautfiul and capable and should be respected !
today white and black everyone is slaves of Jewish people!!!!and of Illuminati!we need to wake up and stop with black or white!the real ennemi is jewish people controlling the world!!!
I have a dark skin tone. But I will date any woman, I don't care about the color of her damn skin. We are all human. Even though I've never dated a black woman, I would.
it goes both ways, darkskin women are always getting mad over men picking lightskin women when i only hear darkskin women talk about lightskin men!! i have never heard from a woman, "oh akon is so hot" etc, i hear, chris brown, drake, trey songz, stop being hypocrites people!
@anonymous10001000 I'm a chocolate sis-star and i love Denzel, Brian McKnight, Blair Underwood, Obama, Drake, Idris Elba, D'Angelo, Bob Marley and all his sons, pretty much attracted to the whole rainbow of brothers, and some nonBlacks too. Black men tell me that light skinned women can't F#?! they say ain't nothin like Black on Black Love. If a guy has game, he'll make you feel chosen or favored in some way, and dog a woman just the same, light or dark. Stop hating on sis-stars.
@anonymous10001000 LOL! Maybe because Akon isn't cute. Try Blair Underwood, Tyrese, Joe, Morris Chestnut, Omar Epps etc. These are all very good looking dark skinned brothers that I've heard all types of women claim look good. I'm dark skinned and the ones you named don't do anything for me. But I do get what you're saying. There are some dark skinned women who will go out of their way to date any other shade but dark skin. Same can be said for some dark men. It's ridiculous.
dang...I grew up with my Dad that looked black and my mom looked white, I now have parts that are literally 50/50 lol I think I'm super balanced as to how I see race: it isn't real, and the only color I see when I get mad at someone is red! XD
This is an excellent post. I agree I wasn't raised with colorism lightest to the darkest we were all proud of being Black and didn't see or make a difference,
If a child is born to a white European mother and a black Afro-Carribbean father, which culture should be celebrated? If a slave is a slave, should the child celebrate his or her African heritage and resent his or her mother's culture?
OR
We can get over this, and end the race question once and for all and stop fucking talking about it!
Don't blame the Blackman for this crap the shit started in slavery by the whiteman. Blackwomen fell for that stuff to. they wouldn't mess around with darkskinn men until whitewomen showed interest in them. Darkskinn sistas were playing that game to they wouldn't even go with darkskinn men it was either a brown or lighter skin man only. The darkskinn BM suffered the most out of all of this. Now Dk Skinn BM are desired by women of other races sistas want to hate.
@garychldress74 slavery wasn't started by the white man. black people sold out their own people in africa to the white settlers. more african slaves were brought to cuba than to the United States. the jews were enslaved by the egyptians thousands of years ago its not just a black thing being enslaved. half a million white men fought and died in the civil war to end slavery. no white person alive today was a slave owner and no black person alive today was a slave.
@sil1mark I am brown skin and I've been hated on or stereotyped by lightskin and darkskin women. In my opinion we should all get along because all we have is each other.
Thank you. The light skinned/dark skinned shit has got to stop. What kind of message are we, as women, sending our children when we say that one skin shade is better than the other? It is ridiculous! Our children need to love themselves and each other.
Nice vid but I will say one thing Human beings seem to have a natural preference towards individuals of a fairer complexion. This is something we see regardless of race
Do you hear your girlfriends talk about white guys preferring white or lite skin black women as well? Ive dated several black girls and Ive kind of always wondered this(where I live there arent to many white men with black women, dont know why) but I didnt want to bring it up. I have to say when choosing someone to be attracted to, skin shade doesnt really come into question as long as they actually have nice skin, if you follow me. Like clear, and smooth skin.
Look at pop culture: light-skin black women are much more present than dark-skin women. It's interesting how that lack of dark-skin black women in the media relates to ideas about beauty and self-worth.
There needs to be better representation of all skin types, not just those that are (for some ridiculous reason) considered more attractive. There are many absolutely gorgeous women with very dark skin tones - skin tone does not determine beauty.
Hey Atlanta Sister, this is the fourth video from you i watched in a row and its the fourth time you talk about skin colour and races and stuff. Why are you doing this?
@AtlantaSistah wow, I didnt expect an answer O_O. thanks i gues.. but u ignored my question. What im trying to say is, nothing will change. ever. As long as there are diffeent skin colours, there will always be racism and prejudice. To me, fighting against it, is a waste of energy. I think you're a good person but i think nothing will ever change. you just cant wipe out every single bit of racism or unite humanity. It just cant be done. People are racist because they chose to be.
Yea us blacks might be a little ignorant here.. but arent all humans ignorant? Whites argue over Blonde vs Brunette and we argue over Light vs Dark skin.. Shit wont change no matter what you say.
Oh you degenerate African Americans crying and bitching all the time bout' not being equal and all. Racism's over and done with. You had your fun, made your fuss, got your attention like a desperate child. Now get back to the cotton fields, yeh? White folk, teach your children to look out for the brutal, savage, rapist tendencies of the shit skins.
And niggers, while you're at it...call me "master" .
Spread the message! Put the niggers where they belong- on the end of a nice long rope.
This is something that I completely agree with you on. It depends on the perspective of the person. I can say as a fair skin male, I know women who prefer darker men and vice verse. We as a people need to get over this bull and realize what's really going on.
the most beautiful people i have ever seen were nigerians - so dunno, maybe its all what you have been tought. ps i am a short white chick from south africa (so anything opposite to me is kinda cool)
so your tellin me that some blacks are predudice against other blacks because of thier darker or lighter skin? and ya'll have kept all this stuff going since sklavery 300 years ago? is that why so many broters seem to have whitegirl fever these days to try to make more lighter skinned black babies?.
@remotehog1 actually blacks are prejudice against other blacks ive heard girls say they wont date a darker black man because they dont want there kids black like africans o_0 i mean come on there still alot of brain washed idiots running around if your black and another black guy drives buy in a car thats better looking than yours he looks down on you better shoes looks down on you better looking girl he looks down on you and for what
@mccclarren muuahaha Girls say they don't date a darker Guy ? See what happens when someone like the young Cassius Clay comes around. He had nothing but his Talent and hard Work. Look at it, he changed the World of sports and the Girls loved him.
@bashr4 AA's do work hard and do take advantage of the so called opportunity in America. At the same time we can still discuss what we deem to be necessary in our community. Where you got the idea we don't work hard or are not determined, I have no idea. Stop listening to the media. They are making you sound stupid.
Good points. Dark skinned women are more approachable than light skinned women. Lighter women seem to think they are more preferred because they get more attention from both races.
Also, I think we need to recognize that our self-esteem should not be based on and rooted in anything other than who God says we r. He says we're beautiful, fearfully and wonderfully made, worth dying for, etc. We have to stop basing it on society's opinion and on things that are temporal. Sometimes when we decide to embrace our blackness, we get off balance and start to believe we are supreme. We have to recognize that whether we are green, blue, red, whatever, we all have the same value.
I agree about the light skin slave thing. I hadn't ever thought of it like that until I saw this video on here that came from the perspective of the "house" slave and she was talking about how she was raped by the master and such.
i agree with some stuff you say but when u talked about the house slave versus the field slave its not an argument of who was treated better persay but an argument of the different mentality that was expressed between the house and field slaves...its argued that the house slaves IDENTIFIED themselves with the slave master whereas the field slave did not. its argued that if the master was sick the house slave would say "is we sick master" thus identifying himself with the slave master...
i kinda hoped this was about ALL slaves because it was not just the African Americans that were slaves
slavery has been around for centuries and among all races and cultures even today we still know it
today we even have paid slavery don't tell me you being forced to work 2-3 jobs just to be able to be broke at the end of the month is not a form of slavery
well thats just my opinion
but your right a slave is a slave nothing good about it
IT SAD THAT PEOPLE THAT THOSE WHO ARE BLESSED WITH EYES TO SEE.....ALWAYS JUDGE AND HAVE PREJUDICE WITH SKIN TONE EITHER DARK OR LIGHT SKIN..... IF YOU HAD NO VISION. COLOR WOULD BE YOUR ISSUE.. THOSE THEY STILL TRIP ON DARK SKIN TONE, ITS JUST IGORNANCE ON YOUR PART. PUT IT TO REST!!!!!!
God-Damn black people are so Racist!! Good god, im yet to meet a truly non racist black american. Its all about the color of your skin, but white people? Yeah were devils cause of what? the color of our skin?? hahahaha
@AtlantaSistah Now your question is the perfect question. For that question, I have no easy reply. To delve even deeper still, What is my generation (i'm 27) supposed to do with the injustice/racism that comes from black people today? I agree that what happened in the past was wrong, i.e. Slavery, taking of culture, etc. I, didn't do it though.It was different white people. I'm very understanding, but this racism I see from black people towards all white people is the same problem, over again.
I like what you were saying. And it's a shame, that we're still in this slave mentality, still living to the rules of slavery. No matter if you're light skinned or dark, good hair or kinky, wide nose or not, ALL black women have been through, and are GOING through the struggle. And to the people who says, why bring this up if you're trying to better our people? Lets be real. When it comes to this kind of prejudice, this is very hush hush, and NO one speaks about it. We need to speak out.
I guess this is an African American issue because blacks from other countries don't view other blks like that. I think this light or dark issue sounds like self hate, and a slave mentality. You all sound uneducated, blk is blk whether you are light or dark skinned; first learn to love your self regardless of the shade of your skin. Once you have accomplished that it won't matter what people think. HA HA you Americans are hilarious!!!!!!
@Alwayslogical How does one sound uneducated addressing the issue? You sound silly. This is a real issue. Whether you agree with it or not, it does exist in this country. And yeah, we may be hilartious but all your asses are trying to get over here. Take care.
@Alwayslogical i totally agree that it is self hate. love your skin color and then you wouldnt worry about what other people think or how other people look. We are all beautiful!
@Alwayslogical It is great to know that the issue is not everywhere but you need to know that it does exist in other countries. What about in South Africa where the lighter you are the more persecution you face, what about tribal prejudice. Unfortunately, we are in the same boat as the world, where hatred can tread it does. If it is not shades of darkness and lightness it is male or female, if not that then rich and poor. and the list goes on.
I have to beg to differ on this one sista.....NO PUN INTENDED :) Yes! A Slave is a Slave BUT that house slave was taught that he/she was BETTER looking & WORTH more than that DARKY of a fieldslave....To LIVE in the BIG HOUSE, come on now....that's what this Sh*t stems from....The women got raped ok, that was the norm for all....BUT!!! She ATE better, DRESSED better, lIVED better
had more liberties & Mas'sa TOLD her she wazzz BETTER than that Ol'Darky over there, PEACE your LIGHTSKINNED sista
@mssquirrely Lived better how? Do you know the conditions of slavery? Do some real research. And how do you know "massa" told her this? I'm over comparing the two. I stand by my video. A slave is a slave.
@AtlantaSistah The mentality of being a submissive little 'house negro' is rampant amongst many African Americans in American today, as we speak, many have been and still are being gentrified. It doesn't take away the fact that they're always gonna be seen as nothing as quoted by Immortal Technique, 'a little monkey' by their Western noric counterparts.
@AtlantaSistah - To a slave, no matter how small a LIBERTY or gesture of kindness it was not taken with a grain of salt......ACTIONS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES...doesn't have to always be verbal missy. AS I STATED IN MY PREVIOUS COMMENT with no malice in my heart nor was there any PUN INTENDED....Favorism was EXHIBITED then as it is today.
@AtlantaSistah - cont'd.....Yes a slave is a slave. A friend is a friend BUT! some friends have special priviledges.....called Fringe Benefits, so the attitude is that of more than just a MERE friend. Hey sista you're SUPPOSE TO STAND BY YOUR VIDEO, I NEVER SAID YOU SHOULDN'T.....I thought this was an open forum. I've read some of your other replys & you're not too friendly when one disagrees with you....NOT GOOD SISTA.
@mssquirrely - This is a myth. The girls in the house were raped, used as foot warmers, beaten and suffered much atrociousness. Also, their children by master were usually sold OFF because the white WIFE usually was not happy with the situation. The lighter slave did not dress better, because, as I mentioned, the MASTER had a WIFE. He did not respect his slave, and wife sure didn't. The relationship between Master and SLAVE was not a love story.
@mssquirrely I guess it is reasonable to assume that the house slave thought they were better because they were chosen to be in the house while the rest were out in the heat. But all that meant is that those women were easier to access and massa didn't have to out of the house to find her. So was it indeed better to be easily accessible or better to be out in the fields. I wonder what Sally Hemmings thought of her situation w/Thomas Jefferson's family. I think she knew her reality of slavery.
you should talk to the men, not the lightskinned women.

It only really started to end with the civil rights movement, but we have a long way to go. If equal rights are not available to ALL of us, then none of us are really free. How can we be, if it's so easy for any one group to be targeted for hate and discrimination? Slavery is over? Really??

It is time to start moving past the issue and start living in harmony and peace. To bring up the past only serves to bring up negativity. Everyone must evolve and put the past behind them and look towards a bright future no matter what the color of their skin. Ignorance is only a lack of understanding and being educated properly will overcome this. Hatred and prejudice do not exist naturally, they must be learned. Fortunately, most things that can be learned, can also be un-learned. Start today!

@AtlantaSistah While I respect what you were saying and even appreciate you taking the time to say it, I have to disagree with the "Slaves were slaves" point. There was a hierarchy of slaves and that is somewhat what this whole condition stems from. Lighter skinned slaves, often house Negros were treated better, and that is what made light skin more desirable. The concept of light as beauty also came into play from this situation.

Im 16 yrs old, and i am medium shade of brown. Every where i moved to my friends always said how they have good hair, or wished that they have and lighter skin. I had to learn love my skin color and i take pride in it and i even wear my hair kinky.I love what black history accomplished and im thankful for being part of it. We should be taking pride in our skin color and not putting other skin color down.If you tell a person you dislike their skin color than you must have a problem with your own

I think modern media is no better than the KKK. Our women take off their clothes used as commodities and understand there is a recipe for hate that rappers used. That recipe includes promoting hate, murder, and disrespecting of women and chasing riches. Whatever happened to pride it seems we have lost it.

I don't think light skin/dark skin is as much of an issue with men because it's more about a man's status, prestige, etc. than his appearance. Seems like its an issue, with women because of regardless of race, women are more likely to be judged by what is considered beautiful.

Very well said. :] I'm Caucasian and i'm 16, and I can't stand when people treat others differently for their Skin tone or race. I mean come on, Just grow up? Like, it's not whats on the outside, it's whats on the inside. Thinking about it, the world would be boring if we all looked similar. A skin tone, is a skin tone, just like a slave is a slave, it doesn't change who you are personality wise. Fuck the hierarchy, everyone should be treated equally.

Not true. Slavery changed into other forms. You think slave owners, merchants, large landowners just said, "well, there you go; thanks for 300 years of unpaid labor and allowing us to brainwash you and strip you from all sense of your culture. here, have a few dollars on me."? It never happened. What did happen is that blacks were still being bullied up until the late 1970's and the psychological effects of slavery were never dealt with.

Look at pop culture: light-skin black women are much more present than dark-skin women. It's interesting how that lack of dark-skin black women in the media relates to ideas about beauty and self-worth.
There needs to be better representation of all skin types, not just those that are (for some ridiculous reason) considered more attractive. There are many absolutely gorgeous women with very dark skin tones - skin tone does not determine beauty.

I understand what atlanta sista is saying.
Slavery was not merely working without pay.
It was a multi-generational system of dehumanization.
Africans were RECREATED as slaves.
People were BORN INTO slavery and knew nothing else.
The Jews in Germany did not go through this.
So we shouldn't be surprised when black people internalize elements of the racist system. That was the entire reality!
But if u have a severe pain you don't ignore and 'move on'.
U seek diagnosis and fix it.

Also, I think we need to recognize that our self-esteem should not be based on and rooted in anything other than who God says we r. He says we're beautiful, fearfully and wonderfully made, worth dying for, etc. We have to stop basing it on society's opinion and on things that are temporal. Sometimes when we decide to embrace our blackness, we get off balance and start to believe we are supreme. We have to recognize that whether we are green, blue, red, whatever, we all have the same value.

And to the people who says, why bring this up if you're trying to better our people? Lets be real. When it comes to this kind of prejudice, this is very hush hush, and NO one speaks about it.

@mssquirrely - This is a myth. The girls in the house were raped, used as foot warmers, beaten and suffered much atrociousness. Also, their children by master were usually sold OFF because the white WIFE usually was not happy with the situation. The lighter slave did not dress better, because, as I mentioned, the MASTER had a WIFE. He did not respect his slave, and wife sure didn't. The relationship between Master and SLAVE was not a love story.

@mssquirrely I guess it is reasonable to assume that the house slave thought they were better because they were chosen to be in the house while the rest were out in the heat. But all that meant is that those women were easier to access and massa didn't have to out of the house to find her. So was it indeed better to be easily accessible or better to be out in the fields. I wonder what Sally Hemmings thought of her situation w/Thomas Jefferson's family. I think she knew her reality of slavery.
