I'm talking about African-Americans, not Africans. The darker the skin tone, means the higher the chance that they weren't womenized and that their ancestors weren't sex slaves. If you were light skinned only because your ancestors were raped. Wouldn't that be worst than being a darker African American who wasn't raped? Although for some reason, we all view lighter the better. In this case I would think the darker the better.

i'm talking about African americans, not jamacans, or abnormagans from austrilia. i'm talking about the ones from slavery.

For one thing, there was consensual sex occurring between blacks and white, even during slavery. Yes, a lot of the women were raped as well. But all in all your question really has no answer. People are here regardless of how we got here, we should all be happy we are alive despite our skin color.

umm, what about the blacks that voluntarily went into relationships with whites in the US or hispanics in latin america? There has been mixing of races going on for years and sometimes the two people get together willingly. Look at Colin Powell, for example. I believe his family immigrated here from Jamaica. I don't know the circumstances of his ancestors, but why is it hard to imagine that the native populations of that area didn't ever mix with the african population other than by rape? It happens all over the world that way.

Are you stupid ? Jamaicans where enslaved by Britain ,African -Americans ,i prefer the term brown since no one i know is Black , and i think whites should go by pink or peach since that their skin color
To answer your question that will be the reason of self -hatred due to 400 years of slavery and being put down constantly by the media, and so on
Not all Blacks think light is better , some might but not all

Being a 36 300 and sixty 5 days old woman and having long given up my dream of having a fairer epidermis tone. different than for my age, i'm of African-American lineage and function dark spots on my eyebrows and cheeks. They have been the reason for years of embarrassment because of the fact human beings continuously appeared and stared at them! I even have tried make-united statesto cover them up yet they hardly worked. as quickly as I chanced in this product and consider the testimonials, I immediately made my purchase and tried your diverse attitude. some days later, i'm considering my epidermis is already getting whiter which delivered a clean point of self assurance in my character.. Whiten Your epidermis clearly?
