Sorry but to be real…light skinned blacks have white relatives somewhere down the line…they are not 100% black…remember the slavery days when black women were raped by white men!!! this is why we all are different colors….whether we want to except it or not, it happened. hell. I’m light skinned and both my grandparents on both sides of my family are half black/white but they look more white than black. My great grandparents were white. I didn’t find this out until I was about 10 years old when I met them for the first time. so, I think this is in every black persons family. Trace your family roots. see what you find.
Not true. The Igbo’s from Nigeria are pure black and many of them are lighter than light skin African-Americans.
Oguchi Onyewu who plays for the US soccer team is just one example.
His parents are both Igbo’s from Nigeria and he’s lighter than Chris Brown.
Chris Brown Is Lighter Than He Is! Just Saying!

coincidently the Igbo are one of the main tribes/ethnic groups that where targeted during slavery.
I say READ people. Knowledge is the key. We live in a world of many different cultures, ethnicity and nationalities. It will never change so deal with it. If you go back in history, you’ll see that all ethnicities have been condemned in one way or another. Shouldn’t we learn and grow from that? Not digress but progress. Most of the above comments are made from blacks. You should be ashamed of yourselves. You hold yourselves back by making such uninteligent comments like these. Take the time to reread what you’ve written and seriously ask yourselves if those are inteligent comments. If you can honestly say YES, something is wrong. However, I will say READ, READ, READ! The only thing you’ll gain from it, is KNOWLEDGE and from that breeds understanding, love and fellow humanship. A person shouldn’t be liked because of his ethnic, racial or cultural background but because he/she is a human being. There’s only one race….the HUMAN RACE! Until we realize this, there will always be wars and annihilations. Grow up and become apart of the solution and stop fueling the problem.
