To all my brothers and sisters, I'm hurt. It seems that we can't have "Black Pride" anymore because no one wants to be black. We want to be carmel, light skinned, dark skinned, etc. However, doesn't all of our birth certificates have something along the lines of colored, *****, black, etc? When it boils down, why do you consider one group of people within our own race better than the other because their skin is a certain color, or their hair is a certain texture. This hurts me. Last night a friend called me "chocolate" while she was supposedly "light skin" for no reason at all. My question is why do we fight for our rights and what not when we can't even end racism within our own race. Please, let's stop this ignorance. We can never advance until we realize first that we all have a common bond. That bond is, we are all of one people. I'm not trying to offend anyone at all, I'm just trying to say what's been hurting my heart. Thanks.
