Re: RA: Thankhsgiving for Blackness

Greetings I-ciple
No apologies needed.

Colorism exists so it is worthy of discussion.

Education is the key.

We have to learn how to speak in a way that will be receptive to the student...

Not in a way of alienating them.

Throwing insults will not help the eradication of colorism.

Telling someone, or implying that they are not worthy because their mother was raped by a white man 8 generations ago will not help the eradication of colorism.

It will not even bring the hope of black solidarity...that ones claim to want so much.

So I overstand your frustration because I have too been frustrated with the approach to this problem.

An Icon, without substance is merely a figurehead.

I think we should embrace Afrikans who want, and are doing work for the eradication of racism and white supremacy and a formation of a United States of Afrikans, regardless if they are dark skinned, brown skinned, or light skinned.

That is the overall goal we wish to be accomplished...

At least I thought it was.

Igziabehr Waddada!!
