I know what you mean all too well. I myself am black and the racism between blacks is very annoying. I'm light skinned and they have this idea that light skinned black people think they're better than everybody else, so I was commonly excluded by a lot of fellow black females for this reason. I hate it! I think it's ridiculous and purely ignorant. Not only are we all people, regardless of skin color, but considering we are all black, we all have the same history. We have the same back ground and had to fight for the same rights. It is purely ridiculous! I hated it mostly in high school as it was then where a lot of girls immedialty assumed I was stuck up when, truth is, I was never one to judge someone by the color of their skin. Unlike they were, I was very welcoming to anyone and the fact that I was lighter than some of them never phased me. I've witnessed more black on black racism then there was any other kind of racism. It needs to stop, though, definatly, because it's childish, ignorant, immature, and there's is just no reason for it.
I like what you said about black people having the same history. Why fight and degrade each other especially over a skin tone??? This mentality has to stop I mean look at the damage its done already.
Is it normal black people discriminate against dark skin black people?
