Re: Skin-Deep Discrimination (Colorism)

Ayinde

You are right. I read all the comments to the article in the last link and they were just what you would expect. It is strange how some people would like us to carry on as if things have changed, lessons have been learnt and we are all moving towards harmony now so, "leave the past behind".

The majority of the comments to that article represent the dominant mind state of 'whites'. Even the ones who go on about how 'liberal' they are still have this poison deep inside and it only requires the right circumstances and you will see it come to the surface.

Someone once said, people never change, they just learn to control (or hide) those parts of thier persona that put them a disadvantage in thier CURRENT environment. And, if that is true, it explains how unrepentant 'white' supremacists (and the African correspondents of 'white' supremacy) can comfortably have dealings with Africans (or claim to represent Africans).

If people never change, then it is essential that we recognise people for what they are, not what they claim to be or what they claim to be doing (as these might all simply be for current convenience).

As in : when the river current changes, the one paddling a boat changes his strokes.
