A comment on the term of "Light Skin Black"
******************************************************

It is often a surprise for people to learn that, in reality, there
is actually No Such Thing As a "Light Skinned Black" person.

The term "Light Skinned Black" is really nothing more than a
racist oxymoron that was created by White Supremacists in an
effort to forcibly deny those Mixed-Race individuals, who are
of a Multi-Generational Multiracially-Mixed (MGM-Mixed)
Lineage, the right to fully embrace and to also received
public support in choosing to acknowledge the
truth regarding their full ancestral heritage.

The people who have been slapped with the false label and
oxymoronic misnomer of "Light Skinned Black" person are
simply Mixed-Race individuals -- who are from families
which have became and have remained continually
Mixed-Race throughout their multiple generations.

It should also be noted that no one is saying that having
a light skin complexion is the 'only' or even a 'required'
proof of being of a continuoously Mixed-Race lineage.

What is simply being said here is that it is just one
of the clearly-visible and openly undeniable forms
of proof that a person is of a Mixed-Race lineage.

Since mention was made of the topic of the ‘house'
and the ‘field’ slave — I just wanted to note that
this false concept that so many people have
-- that the lighter-complexioned chattel slaves
“had it easier” or “thought they were better”
than the darker-complexioned slaves -– and
/ or largely “relaxed in the big house” while
the darker-complexioned slaves “suffered
in the fields” — is very much (just like the
infamous ‘Willie Lynch Letter’ Hoax) all VERY
MUCH AN URBAN MYTH (and, is one which,
in nearly every way that’s possible, completely
defies the true historical recorded account).

The historical record shows that
those enslaved people who were of a
lighter-complexion (i.e. mulatto-lineage)
and that were found on the continental
United States during the antebellum
(chattel-slavery) era were actually treated
MUCH WORSE than were those enslaved
people who were of a darker-complexion.

In fact, the record shows that most of the White
people (especially the White women) tended
to look upon the lighter-complexioned slaves
as being mere ‘mongrels of miscegenation’
(resulting largely from the rapes caused by the
plantation 'Overseers'); in their disgust at the
sight of these slaves — insisted that they
be “banished to the fields”; and also then
purposefully reserved most of the ‘big house’
positions (ex. mammy, cook, driver, etc.) for
the darker-complexioned slaves -- who most of
the White people had perceived as being “more
loyal, more docile, less competitive, etc.”, and,
even more important, they were also of a skin tone
which could never cause them to be seen as being
any part-'white' (and even worse, perceived as
"possibly" also being "a member of the family"
--as it were-- of a given plantation 'Owner’).

And this maltreatment was generally even much
more so the case if the lighter-complexioned
enslaved person was even remotely ’suspected’
(by, say, a wife, sister or daughter — who ran
“the big house”, while a ‘m

This is and I am speaking in the present, the most ignorant article I have read. Stupidity and lack of self love would be the resaon is all it takes to write trash like this. Why? Why?

I think this trailer and the movie will definitely highlight an age old social construct that was put into place to hold both groups down. Take it back to slavery, for a minute. Routinely, masters would bring light skinned slaves in doors to do the house work, while darker skinned slaves we're left outdoors to work in the fields. We must remember that neither group had a choice in their assignment, however it caused a social divide that has prevailed in our society ever since. The dark skinned folks hate on the light skinned folks because they perceive what the white man wanted them to, that the light skinned person was superior. The hate that the light skinned person received is then reciprocated against the dark skinned person and the cycle continues 300 years later. Wake up folks...

This looks really stupid. All of those people, the light-skinned and the dark-skinned ones, sound highly uneducated. Why is this even being made into a documentary?

This trailer came out around 2008 . But def ignorant
