In Response To: Re: ???!!!!!!!!!! (Eja)

Ites Eja
You are correct. You did not say anything specifically about beauty.

I have been posting and reading comments about this so much lately that I did get u confused.

It was Bantu Kelani who mentioned "beauty" specifically.

But you did allude to it when u said:

"What is wrong with suggesting that if we are going to have a figurehead, then it should be one that looks like the majority of us?"

Obviously a figure head would be someone u respect and admire. S/he would be glorious in your sight. You would love her/him and s/he would be a beautiful thing in your eyes.

My fault on that.

I think I may hold a different stance because I was born and raised in the states. You come across many more brown/light brown Afrikans than very, very dark Afrikans....the products of massa sleeping with InI ancestors in America.

By brownskin I mean a caramel or bronze color.

So I have come to love all the shades of blackness, which is what I see on a regular basis.

But I will say that if I could only put one picture in the dictionary under "black person," I would not put someone like Colin Powell there. I would put someone that epitomizes an Afrikan, as far as skin tone, like Clarence Thomas.

But that is not to say that I am saying that black people of lighter shades are not still black.

It would be just a general representation.

Because you cant forget the mindstate...

Because Colin and Clarence are sellouts in my opinion....

Clarence even more so.

Peace
