In Response To: Re: Colorism (selassielive) (selassielive)

*****This may be accurate because the social contruct of race is superficial. Judging someone's worthiness due to color is superficial. *****

*****Again, let's focus on the mentalities and philosophies of each other instead of the shades. *****

*****But I realized that people are not responsible for how they were born.*****

******************************************************************************

So digesting your comments should allow me to conclude that you have no problems with so-called “white Rastas”.

And since Afrika is the common birthplace of mankind and the original man is black, can I not consider “white people” the lightest of light skin Afrikans/Blacks altered by thousands of years of migration and climate?
