Comment: '"Ignorance can't always be an excuse," she told the Detroit News. "Colorism is real in the black community. It's especially very degrading to dark-skinned black women."' That should be stamped across the forehead of any person that deems to think cause you're bright skinned you're the shiznit - that's so far from the truth it's annoying.

Comment: This wasn't about skin color as much as it was the objectification of women. I am so tired of women being described, and publicly desired for their body parts, skin color, hair, their sexuality, -everything that is non substantive. It is sickening and annoying and men need to get with it, wake the fukk up and do better.

Comment: I can't believe in this day and age of degraging black images on videos and TV that he didn't think there would be a backlash?!

Comment: I'll play devil's advocate and kinda pose a defense for this guy. I think he was really just trying to think of a new, catchy or ingenious way of garnering more support for his party and it backfired. His apologies sound sincere so I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. Po [ignorant] thang...

Comment: They held a party in NY and said only white women would get in free. I'll see if I can find a link to the poster. Black men love degrading black women and do it every chance they get.

Comment: I have been to clubs in DC where the line is half-way down the block (full of black folks) and then a couple of blondes will get out of a taxi, get the bouncer's attention, act clueless as to why there's such a wait and the next thing you know, they're whisked right in

Comment: This is overwhelmingly unbelievable!! I am so incensed that I can hardly put my thoughts together to type this. You mean to tell me that in 2007 an African American male did not think this would be an issue. LIKE WE NEED FURTHER DEVISIVENESS AMONG WOMEN NO MATTER THE RACE OR COMPLEXION. What a effin jack-arse. There are no more words....only a beat down would suffice.

Comment: This ain't no big news to me. I have a sister who attended Howard Univ. undergrad & grad school a few decades ago. When I went there for graduation and saw the year book, all the fraternity/sorority and homecoming queens looked like off-colored white girls. I remember one name in particular, C. Jackson. She was the queen of the campus because she looked so white. It wasn't her fault that the slavemaster raped her grandmother. Also, I noticed all the light-skinned, including my color struck sister were members of A K A. They looked down on Deltas because they were more African-looking. To this day, my sister only has light-skinned Howard University types. I feel so sorry for her because a lot of dark-skinned people (me) would have been more loving and supportive of her had she not this color struck thang. What's so ironic is that our Daddy was very dark.

Comment: I meant to say light-skinned Howard University friends. Also, I remember hearing a conversation in Englewood, NJ that went like this between a mother and her daughter: "Shonika, you stop talking bad 'bout your father! Yeah, he beat the daylights out of me weekly, never paid yaws child support, had kids all over town, was always as drunk as Cooty Brown, but ONE THANG you and your brothers and sisters should be proud of is he gave all of yaw light skin and good hair!" I almost feel out of my upstairs window after hearing that shyt!

Comment: This is the legacy of slavery and the Willie Lynch Letter. It's a shame we can't get over it, but as long as our youth dumb themselves down by watching rap videos that put Latinas and light-skinned sisters on a pedestal and by listening to music that promotes the worst in us instead of the best in us, then there is little chance that we as a people will educate ourselves and evolve past this foolishness.

Comment: Yes it's sad that we are still dealing w/color issues in 2007. But good grief, are we surprised? I am sure that many of us have parents/grandparents or know some family who looks at color in a negative way. It's nothing new and the younger generation didn't start it. Maybe this guy grew up in such an environment. It's a learned behavior that he got from somewhere.

Comment: I hear you Musbdherbs. This guy is out of Detroit, and that city, along with New York, DC, and Atlanta, has a very colorful(no pun intended) history of equating skin tone with class within our race. I grew up in Atlanta, close to Collier Heights, and light was ALWAYS right. I am brown-skinned and actually had a mixture of skin tones among my friends until high school. The "uppity light" ones went to Douglas and the "lower class darkies" went to Harper. Luckily, I was already popular with males and females and had a high self-esteem. You NEEDED it back then.
