You said: "Everyone has a right to speak about anything that directly effects them. Period."

This is the point that I am making, as racism and colourism negatively and directly impacts on dark-skinned Blacks the most, and in general less so on others of lighter hue. It is understandable that dark-skinned blacks who can articulate these issues will speak out because it DIRECTLY AFFECTS THEM. Given the wealth of information available today, together with the fact the many dark-skinned Blacks can articulate these issues for themselves; they should be encouraged to the frontline to dealing with these issues.

He who feels it knows!
