"rasi, I am of the opinion that Colorism affects you way more than you care to admit. You fought down this issue before when it was brought up by some of us dark-skinned Blacks. Now you seem to be shifting your position after light-skinned gman made his feelings known. You do not feel that we dark-skinned Blacks who raised this issue know what we are talking about. So do look for the answer where you feel YOUR best help comes from."

see this is what i mean-you seem to take a lot of liberty in your assesment of peoples character. i have not fought down your assertions. see you seem to conveniently forget that most of the time that this topic is raised-it is raised in a mammer that reeks of superiority. that is what i have 'fought down.' the idea of placing a racial hierarchy amongst black people. your comment about the other poster, in relation to my my comments also, in my opinion speaks to some degree of your intentions in framing lines of reasoning to further develop boundaries that impede progress.
