Red verses blue black – WTF!!

Despite the abolition of slavery in the 1800s, the slave mentality has not left black people.

Yeah. I said it. Some of us are still trapped in the divide and conquer that was slavery. We are a beautiful people with a rich history that goes beyond slavery, and yet we focus on that one aspect of our time on this planet.

Take my favourite subject, the colour issue. Why are we still referring to people as being red or black till their blue, or that dark one, the lightie? We have so many shades to our skin colour, and we should NEVER use shadism to divide ourselves.  Regardless of what so called celebrities may say, a lighter shade of black doesn’t make you a better person. A darker shade of black doesn’t make you less beautiful.

Today there are some among us who see light-skinned blacks as having an easier time in life because of their shade of black.  These people dismiss light-skinned people as house slaves whilst secretly envying their shade.  Then the light skins are scornful of the dark-skinned. Where do you get your hate from? Check it and deal with it because it is not needed in dis ya time.

Given two pictures of a dark skin and a lighter-skinned person, some will quickly identify with the lighter shade of black. Why? Why is it important not to be deemed as dark-skinned?

To those who first see shades before you see black, I say this:

You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

Truss me, I don’t like to quote the bible, but shit needs to be said.  You cannot be bawling about racism or any other schism if you don’t even see your own people as equal to you because of shadism. If you are not part of the solution, then you are the problem.

Don’t even get me started on skin bleaching. That’s a messy story for another day.
