Having read numerous posts about colorism on this site, I sight that some may be uncomfortable with the topic of colorism.

I am not uncomfortable with the topic. I know it exists. Willie lynchism is not a recent phenomenon. I have been aware of it since a youth, and started to overstand it as I got older. So I have no problem talking about it. I learn from many of the posts that are presented..like the current post :JUNGLE FEVER by Kelani.

The problem I have is the idea that the leaders of Afrikan movements have to be 100% Afrikan. I have a problem with it because many, many Afrikans in America have some european genes in them somewhere down the line...also native american. Is it the fault of an individual that their ancestors mixed outside their race centuries ago...willingly or unwillingly?

Does his experiences as a Black man raised in Babylon ghettos disqualify him because he is not 100% Afrikan?

Where does merit come into the picture?

I have a problem because I sometimes get the vibe that there is an implication that only people from the continent are fit to lead an Afrikan liberation movement due to the fact that the majority of them are 100% Afrikan opposed to the Afrikan people in America.

If that is the case, this is where the divisiveness comes into play.

This is Iman's view on the matter.
