Re: Colorism: The Hierarchical Nature of Skin Tone *LINK*

Its a class issue. Take the Tiger Woods scandal, the only people making an issue about the fact that Tiger didn't cheat with Black women, were White or non-Black men. Black women didn't really care because Tiger Woods isn't attractive to many Black women, and certainly not any of the Black women on the attached list. Highly eligible Black women are an intellectual challenge for Black intellectual men much less Black athletic or artistic male celebrities.

The correction needs to take place in the schools; Black males need to place a higher value on their education and not get caught up in viewing professional sports or entertainment as the only way up/out. Its a quick buck but as example after example shows it has no longevity. Anyone thinks MJ would have been so successful without a strong mother and wife? He would have blown his millions on female White trash a long time ago if he didn't have a solid family and a powerful Black wife. Could Barack Obama have secured the hand of Michele Robinson, an intellectual, if he had not been an intellectual himself, I don't think so.
