Reading Blogs every week I run across some that are extraordinary. Like my friend Ms. Lady Deborah - From My Brown Eyed View. she blogs about the reality she sees all around her everyday. her blog highlights many of the worlds atrocities, as well as a few personal points of reflection. I read her post on a personal tragedy that happened in her family recently.It was about a road rage incident where a person in her family was killed, basically due to someone elses stupidity. It was so upsetting. I watched the video that was above the post and tried to make more sense out of it, only to feel myself being sucked into the vortex of it's pain.
I Too Am a Light Skinned Black Person.. and I'm sick of being defined by my skin color not the content of my character..
this is the crux of many of the ills that Blackfolks deal with on a daily basis. what skin tone you are.
Yes My Whitefolks I'm hanging out some of My Blackfolks Laundry today and I know you are sitting back wondering why.
well it's damn well time we started hanging out our laundry and letting it air out. Ms. Lady Deborah does it so well, and on a daily basis. I believe that if more of us dealt with the plain facts, we'd be able to deal with our rage, not only on the road - but in real life on a daily basis.
You see in America there seems to be some perception of skin color as a measure of a persons' real character. NAAAAAAAAHHHHH NAHHHH. THAT'S SOME BULLCRAP BUDDY. If It were true, then what's the deal with folks who are extremely Light or Dark ? we have no measure of a persons character, other than a persons words and deeds, and we all need to get that straight right now.
Skin Color is determined by your genetics, not your mindset. Got It ?
This is the legend from the video to give you a little more explaination on who he is and why he's doing the video -
