How serious is the divide between light and dark complexion black people? This division was created during the slavery era of the United States, where certain privileges were bestowed to lighter skinned blacks by white society. At the root of this privilege was how much white blood did the average “negro” have and how visible was it. For some blacks, they were able to “pass” and gain full privileges as a white person. Langston Hughes wrote about this phenomenon in “The Ways of White Folks” in a chapter entitled “Passing” and this divide was apparently present in the early history of the black sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha (AKA), when they favored lighter members over darker.
This issues has become the topic for a new DVD, set to be released in 2009 by Nico and Rob.

More 100% Foolishness, that is a Figment of our Imagination. Only about 1% of our People even are still on that Madness, LOL and you just saw them. Stop letting some fool divide our people with these worthless Propagand DVD’s to put money in thier own Pockets, It time to Gather together Black People (Israel) check this site out and show me where is the Light Skin Vs. Dark Skin in this http://www.thecomforter.info
I haven’t heard of a DVD nor have I heard much talk about light skin and dark skin. There has never been any ill-feelings between light skin girls and dark skin girls when I was growing up. I have heard dark skin girls wish they were lighter and I’ve heard light skin girls wish they were darker. I’m neither light or dark and I haven’t wished to be lighter or darker. Some people say that
“in-between” Black people are somewhat immune to the LIGHT vs DARK.
WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND WORLD WIDE WHITE SUPREMACY, AND WHITE BEING THE RECESSIVE GENE AND IS THE RESULT OF ALBINOS. WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND THAT IN ANCIENT EGYPT WHERE IT ALL BEGAN VERY DARK SKIN WAS WORSHIPED AS IN THE TITLE OF OSIRIS YAHWEH BEING THE LORD OF THE PERFECT BLACK…..PRINCE HORUS THE HANDSOME BLACK CHILD OF INFINITE LIGHT !!!!!!!!!
Interesting theory….one based more on probabilities than facts at this point (which is far better than our alternatives; I feel this explaination of mankind is VERY VERY possible). But it’s interesting you use the word ‘white supremacy’ and associate ‘God’s’ with this theory. First off, this theory is based strictly on evolution, which seems to conflict with Biblical Tradition. Secondly, it suggest that our early dark skinnned ancestors rejected their albino/white counterparts hence their massive migration to the Caucasus Mountains, which suggest that ‘white supremacy’ was reactive to ‘black supremacy’
….my point is, at some point, every group of peoples has dogged somebody, or been dogged BY somebody….while education is good…selective education is counter productive. “worship dark skin” ??? worship black people??? worhsip white people??? if you understand there is a very strong possibility that we all come from the same lineage….than shouldn’t we just worship people?
