It's amazing to see all the comments about a school project I did two years ago. I'm saddened to see so many negative comments. The book Coming of Age in Mississippi inspired me to create this video.  I suggest we all read and educate ourselves so that we can end the negative perceptions starting with our children, family, and friends. I wanted to create a discussion among the black community. My next video will be on mental health in the black community and Durham-The Black Wallstreet. Peace

Common-"Black Maybe"

Divide and conquer. White folks got Blacks confused to no end. Black people seem to look for excuses to treat each other poorly. Complexion, hair, cars, which zip code you live in, whose more thuggish, etc. Since when did being a thug equate to being Black? This only benefits Whites and Latins. Black folks need to wake up, Mexicans and other Latinos are now being used to "diversify" the work place, Blacks are no longer needed. Niggas was never wanted. Again, divide and conquer. Wake up, damn.

It is a pathetic LIE that my life is easier and that I can assimilate into white culture because I have light brown skin! Nothing could be further from the truth. When I receive a promotion at work, it is because I am intelligent and have a fantastic work ethic. My skin color does NOT get my work done! This issue is agonizing for me. Whites (who are racist) don't care WHAT color skin we have. They HATE all of us! We NEED to STOP looking at ourselves through the lens of white racist acceptance!!!

@Lisa3679 there are studies that prove lighter skin blacks have certain advantages over darker skin blacks, colorism is a real issue in the black community and in America in general.

[metamaggot]

you divide yourselves with colorism

white racists unite you all as "niggers"

[UniversalOneLove1]

No one should be discriminated against because of your brown skin , dark skin , light skin or fair skin.

its hurtful ,and can change people forever .

I want to bring this awareness about this in my country Haiti because it happens all the time but no one talks about it.

If you want to make a change be that change.
