VERY INFORMATIVE!

This goes a long way towards explaining why the entire continent of Black Africa along with all the Black majority/Black governed countries and cities around the world are so much more successful than places like the USA.

In those places blacks can reach their full intellectual potential because they do not have to spend time coping with the inate racism found in racially diverse regions, whereas in places like the USA blacks are held back because they have to spend much of their time coping with the racism of the whites.

/sarcasm off/

These “scientists” make up their conclusions before they design their experiments.

My experience is that successful Black men came from homes that disciplined them and demanded excellence ..just like successful white kids.. The home and parents determine our future not our race .

The "Bill Cosby Effect", eh? Wonder why more 'people of color' don't follow HIS lead instead of HolyO's "Here's a handout, and there's more where that came from" mentality.

She’s apparently never seen Spike Lee’s “School Daze” about African-American college students’ obsession with skin color and “good vs. bad hair.”

The best study of semiwhites can be made on TV. Commercials featuring a host of semiwhites are all the rage for all advertisers.

There are whites too but never a shiny dark black person.

The current PC concepts about -isms are used to allow various groups groups to continue their own prejudices while gaining political clout and playing suppressor when they get enough clout...

More diversity race hate bait from the Left. Why don’t black children hate whitey like we taught ‘em? Something is terribly wrong!

I just always figured black kids wanted to be “light black” in the same way that white girls tan to be as “dark white” as possible.

You've got it right. Anyone who grew up going to the beach knows. As a teen, we would burn ourselves to a crisp just to build up a "good tan". I was just telling my son about it the other day as we were passing a tanning salon. Being naturally tan, he didn't know what it was. There are tons of tanning products at the drugstores, too.

I disagree with asking children these questions and putting them on film for the world to see. But, I wonder what "white" children who grew up near a beach would've pointed to: If they'd shown them drawings of people of different shades in bathing suits, there's no doubt they'd all point to dark tan as the most desirable shade.

All of those children seemed so sweet and innocent. It wasn’t right for the adults to put them in that position and then play the video on national news.

And that was not exactly objective research. See my post above. They should’ve asked a group of “white” children at the beach which shade they prefer. (I remember being teased by other white children for being “so white” at the beach.) ;-)

My own children most closely resemble the boy at the very end of the last video - the one who says, “All of them. I don’t really care what color they have.” Just a few weeks ago, while studying history, my 12yo found out some people are referred to as “black” and some as “white”. Up to that point, he never knew... lol.

Another son, who always was an avid reader, writes stories, and he tends to make his main characters look “white”. That’s because most of the main characters in other stories he reads are white. It’s not because he doesn’t like his own skin color. He does want to be taller, though. ;-)
