It’s always the lighter-skinned ones, as if they have this chip on their shoulder that they have to compensate for. And yes, blacks do discriminate based on the darkness of the skin.

Saw it first hand in Africa (Cameroon, Gabon, Nigeria), then again in Paris, and again in Haiti and Bonaire.

Such hypocrisy.

Did you know that the first case law establishing the right of an American to hold another person as legally owned property was filed by a black man? In essence, the first American slave holder was BLACK.

A formerly indentured servant who had paid off his indenture and was a freeman purchased another black person as a slave. Case went to court, found for the freedman and established in case law (precedent) the right for one man to own another in America.

This is an interesting read on the topic of Negro slaveholders:

The first American slave owner was black: Anthony Johnson
