Thanks, Cool Beans.

In the early 20th century, African AMerican scholar/activist W.E.B. DuBois wrote that "The problem of the 20th century is the problem of the color line, the relation of the darker to the lighter races in Asia and Africa, in America and the islands of the sea."

As a very light skinned man, DuBois surely knew first hand the problems of color preferences within African American & other Black families, groups, and communities.

It's a shame that in the 6th year of the 21st century, we [human beings]and we [Black people] have not done more to eradicate skin color valuations.
