"For one to be qualified to speak for black people, one must be just a wee bit darker than Bob Marley."
"Try using the brown bag test."
i tried to say, wait, isciple was sarcastic people, but i forgot i was on the computer,lol. but anyway, from what i remember about the discussions on this topic, i think that some would rather see a darker skinned original take the reigns as certain issues coz they feel the BRUNT of discrimination more than one of belafonte's complexion, eventho he might feel it too. i think anyone of hue should speak out, personally, but i think one of a darker hue might be able to hit harder, coz one was from the bottom of the barrel, BUT, it could just be a matter of how ones sight it and their perspective anyhow.
