“Blacks describe each other all the time using descriptive words for various shades of color. Color seems to be a major factor in their culture.”
Yep. A black female co-worker, many years ago, was telling me about an especially dark friend of hers that she said everyone called “Crow”.
I have been told that blacks are very, very aware of the melanin content found in the skin of other blacks.
That they view lighter skinned blacks as untrustworthy.
