Yep, It's very sad what happens in South America. Sort of make what happens in the USA/UK seem trivial.

They don't have a leg to stand on, but we as a people in USA/UK do, but want more. Places issues into perspective.

However, not many people are aware of the problems in SA.

My white friend said he use to only see colour, not shades.i.e. if one person was dark & the other light, he still saw black in both.

We have more to worry about then 'hue', but I doubt it will change soon.

@amasonga No. I personally don't have a complex. I'm just being realistic about it. People are always going to find some excuse to discriminate against other like skin color, race, ethnicity, religious preference, or sexual orientation.  None of things really matter, but people will always act as if they do.

@TXrangers100 Wait a minute, are you saying that you want to stay with your complexes about skin color? Times have changed, you have to move. Nelson Mandela spent 27 yrs in prison for a just cause, however he moved on. After having lived among White, Black, etc.. in Europe, Africa, the Americas, I see that skin color is not the final denominator of who people are! Education is the door to get free from being "conditioning". People are people!

I just thought racism there was still as bad as it was back then. But, some places are in the world are more extreme than others. I mean, I lived in the southern part of the United States, but that doesn't mean that I'm racist like some people I know were down there. But, enough of my rambling.

[TXrangers100]

@amasonga Yes, but that kind of deep conditioning can't be changed just because it's a new time. If we were all able to just instantly stop irrational, prejudice thoughts due to conditioning, then we would have much fewer problems. In my opinion, ideas about color will not change for a very long time if ever.

@shadowgirl9891 Don't confuse things, read well! My statement was concerning Black people making a great deal about skin shades of their fellow Black brothers and sisters! Light-skinned/dark-skinned brothers, you're all Black anyway! White people don't give a crap about that, they just see you different from them. Do you get my point now? Grow up and get out of that stupid complex! I'm a dark-skinned Black person and my dad and especially my mom are light-skinned Blacks, so what?

[amasonga]

@shadowgirl9891 Firstly what does that have to do with my statement? However since I lived in South Africa briefly, I'm going to answer your question. Indeed the Apartheid, a harsh segregation regime was installed by the White colonialists to ensure White supremacy in that particular nation. It was similar to the Jim Crow laws of southern U.S.A., this lasted till the late 80's. Of course, there are still many Whites who are racists there!!

@TXrangers100 Trust me I'm well acquainted with American history, probably more than the average American. Additionally, I even taught it to American children, so don't go there. I'm perfectly aware that the White supremacy movement in American installed a skin color system in America for years. However, times have changed, people are more educated and it's the 21st century. Mere skin shade shouldn't separate Black people like that!
