* We seem to be reasoning similar ideas. I have long stated that the only revolutionary move we can make is to ensure that the worst systematic victims of the system are the ones our efforts seek to elevate. Our efforts must be deliberately designed to promote/uplift the dark-skinned kinky-hair Black Woman, then the dark-skinned kinky-hair Black Man. If all who claim to be part of this revolutionary movement were about helping the worst systematic victims of the system forward, there would be no argument, they would know that when you uplift those most affected, you are uplifting the whole.

People, especially light-skinned ones and Whites, have to examine their motives for being in Black movements. Why is the idea of light-skinned ones and Whites not being suitable leaders over dark-skinned kinky-hair Black Africans in a Black African Movement so disturbing?

"in my opinion, colorism festers is because of the one drop rule..."

* As the result of the U.S. defining Blacks with the one drop rule, all types of pale people claim entitlements in Black Movements although they do not experience the system the same way as dark-skinned kinky-hair Blacks.

Light-skinned ones involvement does give their white family a window of influence/interference in Black Movements as a result of their relationship. While some of these issues are not the direct fault of mixed-race ones, they should check themselves. They should understand the dynamics of why they are not the best symbol and leaders for Black African movements.

If those involved do not take a firm stance in defense of the roots of Black African Movements and the development of dark-skinned kinky-hair Black Africans, soon the movement goes the way of most other things developed by Black Africans. All others get the promotions and influence, and the dark-skinned Black African is marginalized, waiting for crumbs to fall from the table.
