Perhaps she doesn't own a mirror, and never takes selfies
Fascinating, thanks!
She looks pretty white to me.
Has she never seen a mirror? How could she have missed this?
Sad, isn’t it (or “wasn’t it”); racism from all people. What a sad situation...
Incredible (and bizarre); a Liberian friend who fled the civil war there described the root of the problem as the contempt “American Liberians” (those who returned to Africa from the US) had for “country Liberians” (those who had never left. The latter had enough of being dominated by the former, and war broke out. Because the American Liberians had returned so long ago (19th century), I don’t know if there was a discernible difference in skin color - though of course the American Liberians may have come from a completely different part of Africa.
I’ll let the illegitimate births, lack of education/jobs, and rampant crime speak to the culture embraced by a clear majority of blacks. The BASPs are a small (and valuable)segment of the larger black population.
I’d be surprised if some African countries don’t celebrate darker skin as “more” African.
They do not. Africans in Africa do not have a concept of being “African.” They are Ibos and Masai, Zulu and Fulani, etc. The middle class city folks sometimes think of themselves as Congolese or Kenyan.It is only elsewhere that they become “Africans” and mostly only if they are a slave class or of a slave background.
