Re: All other things being equal....

In Response To: Re: All other things being equal.... (gman)

I sight your reasoning. I don't have a problem acknowledging that truth. My problem is this: does the fact that the bossman in that factory in Honduras treats the light-skinned ones less-worse (cause we can't really call it better) than the dark -skinned ones, justify that the dark-skinned ones should reject (oppose or denigrate even) a light-skinned one calling for general labour standard improvements for all the workers?

See, that's my problem. It would seem like some (not necessarily ones here) would rather we continue in the status quo, than let a light-skinned one lead the revolution.

Love And Peace,
Jah Melku
