Re: Skin tone more important for African Americans

“skin tone more important for African Americans seeking jobs"

Even this cannot fit in the subject line of the post. The original title of the article cannot fit in the subject line of the post but, “Skin tone more important than educational background for African Americans seeking jobs”, can be seen to the top of the post.

The article speaks about dark skin Blacks suffering the worst in the job market and given that Whites own the most businesses in the U.S, it is fair to assume that this is mostly happening at the hands of Whites. But colour discrimination also takes place among Black people today and even dark-skinned Blacks show preference for light-skinned Blacks and mixed race ones.

There is something fake about the show of anger on this thread and I feel it is more about the dislike of dealing with the issue of colourism than dealing with the subject line of the post.

I think that whenever this issue comes up people tend to think that it is an attack on light skinned ones instead of realizing that it is an issue that all sides have to address.
