Here’s the thing, know matter how light bright a black American is, we identify each other by our CULTURE!!!!!!!!

And in 2020 the whole family isn’t gonna be damn near white anymore like in the early 1900s. 🌚
Some of my ancestors look damn near white and their lives were just as shitty as their dark skin family. I know folks trying to rewrite the story in the year of our lord 2020, because they have unresolved colorism trauma.
My darn near white looking granny had to pack up her child in the night to escape a lynch mob baby! In America you might get some light skin privileges but they did little good when your kids and husband are darkskin.
Let these lying ass pan-African hoteps tell it, dark skin people was thrown to the back of the line and the light skin people were living in the lap of luxury. This how I know people did not have elders to teach them like I was fortunate enough to have. 🌚
