Dark Skin Light Skin...


WOW I just read an amazing article by Ronald Martin who I listen to in the morning ride into work on the Tom Joyner show. His article is called “Dark skin is also a problem among African-Americans” http://www.cnn.com/2012/04/21/opinion/martin-skin-color/index.html?hpt=hp_bn7. No matter how far people of color have come, no matter the accomplishments that we may have achieved or years that have moved us from slavery or occupations of country’s skin color remains a problem. Some people of color not just African-Americans want the Western image of beauty. Would like, the skin color, hair, facial features and body time of what we will never obtain. The article raises many points and opens up the line of communication in regards to color and how people truly feel.
