<quoted text>people dont want to discuss it because they know there is no good answer for this kind of mistreatment.i'm a dark-skinned sista too,so i know EXACTLY what you are talking about.unfortunately,people dont wonna discuss this.like i said,there's no reason that is right or good enough to explain this behavior so the topic will continue to be ignored.if we ever see it get turned around in our lifetime and the dark ones are the ones being favored,i GUARENTEE you the whole damn world will want to discuss it. i know it aint right,but all we can do is accept it.being mad and bitter aint gone change the fact that they see us as "less than".just know that you are beautiful and keep on steppin'.that's what i do. LOL!!

Racheal just once wants too stir up trouble i doubt she is black at all, and what is there too discuss this whole issue has been addressed a million times over and in the end nothing was resolved, there will be people that will always have some prejudice towards others that look different to them, it happens no matter what shade you are, its sad but its something we have too live with.

Read an article where it said that light skin people was prefered over dark skin in job interviews. How come whenever someone wants to talk discuss this, there are only denials..

Atlanta still has brown paper bag clubs. If you have skin darker than a brown paper bag you aren't allowed in. White people and Mexicans are also excluded. These clubs are for brown people only.

You guys are weird.

And just so ya' know.. I am a light-skinned (who even talks like that?) black-man (?)... and I regret that somewhere in my lineage whitey crept in. We need to have respect for differences not this mad lust for the this farce called equality that people speak so highly of... but never obtain.

If I could be like Mike, my a$$!

I'm me.

Man was not created equal... he was created different. That's something whitey will never figure out in a million years on his own and here you are, keepers to the keys of life, arguing about a concept this punk muthafuggah gave to you.

GET OFF IT.
