How come no one talks about predudice in the same race?
Its there but not so noticeable, in my race I sometimes see it as the darker skined people and I mean people like, woopie godberg, big daddy kane and otis redding, these shades I believe see them selve as different in colour to someone like me who is diana rosses original colour or janet jackson, It seems as though the darker skin will not accept the one lighter than them even if it is only a couple of shades lighter, My boyfriend said that the darker skinned blacks are better off than us brownish dark skinned people because, the whites love them here in england the whites love the proper dark skinned people, its not about whether they have neeegro of ******* feature cause they do, its the colour of their skin, as far back as I can remember to the 1960's english men have never failed to put original dark skinned people on tv, there in our adverts there in the early morning and on dramas in england and this is something iv discovered over years of study. In a way it is like the black and white thing sometimes as I find myself wanting to be cool dark skinned as I feel I would have a place to belong.
If a dominant race sticks out of your major racial makeup then the person who has another dominant race sticking out of his major racial makeup can sometimes attack you for it, ill explain more simple, if you married an english man or woman, and you are knowlegeable about different races, and can see this person has irish in them, and you are black but your dominant race besides the race you are will show to others which could be for instance chineese, now what i'm saying is you or the dominant race which sticks out besides being black can attack the irish you see in your husband or wife. So again its prejudice.
Iv had people say to me my husband calls me a paakie even though they are both asian.
In order for this all to stop do you think we all need to get rid of religion, and segregate? Please answer cause I need to know what you think its not much point in insulting as we are all going to die.

Well, you know it all comes down to popular culture and majority of people in certain countries like lighter skin.How else would they have gotten that way? But most of it stems from survival instinct. It's the "them" and "they" complex. I guess it is hard to identify with those who are different and a lot of people are lazy.

Blame TV. There aren't enough positive reinforced images of minorities to begin with, but then it breaks down to color shades and sex. Its a very complex topic. I will wait until others respond before getting into it.
