Dark Skin Vs Light Skin - The Epic Fail

22/4/2016

 
The Pride Taken In Maintaining A Slavery Mandate...

On a slave plantation, the overseer and the general workers monitoring the enslaved 'workforce' would torture, punish and of course rape the slaves on a regular basis. Rape would be a shared hell as victims were both male and female, adult and children alike. But of course in the case of women, the sexual encounters could often lead to pregnancy, with a mixed race child being conceived and born.

HARROWING SCENE FROM 12 YEARS A SLAVE
Circa 2016, when you hear of light skin being preferred and dark skin being labelled as ugly, you have to see the origin and the parallels of the past maintaining its presence today. This type of nonsense is still happening in various countries and industries around the world and it is partly enforced by the last people on the planet who should be taking it up. When dark skin is dissed and light skin is praised in opposition, by default or even directly, what you are favouring, celebrating and enforcing is that history, that code and that slave version of divide and conquer.
Now in this discussion, it is important to remember, that the idea of black, in comparison to white had to be perceived as wrong, ugly and sub-human, as an actual ideology of enforcement to keep the slaves down mentally. But this mandate was also manifested to provide plenty of cognitive dissonance for those involved also, I mean how else do you really bypass such acts of cruelty? By inventing an idea that what you are doing is your god-given right and therefore no accountability to the evil that was done, was evil at all. When a mixed-race child was born, having a lighter skin tone, sometimes that child was afforded a more lenient captivity because they were closer to the idea of 'right' which was white. Most of the time their fate was exactly the same as every other slave and their split heritage meant absolutely nothing. But in some cases, their treatment was something closer to that of a servant, than a slave. They could be given the lighter house duties as opposed to working the land and in some, super rare cases, an even more privileged position was given where they might be part of the family structure.
There is nothing wrong with being dark, light, mixed, white - whatever! The whole point of the slavery code was to enforce superiority. Ergo the closer you are to being like me, the better you are. They had a reason to employ these tactics as the were trying to maintain control and save money with a massive, free labour force. As a black person - what the hell is your reason?!
Perhaps the problem is deeper, perhaps your:

a) carrying that ye olde programming and don't know you are.

b) carrying that ye olde programming, aware that you are and think that it's right.
Either way, you are hating a part of yourself, that you don't want to be associated with. I don't want to hear "yeah I'm black, but I'm not dark". No, you are stupid and your mind is clouded by darkness and the shame of the association. If you are black or mixed and you have a problem with the 'loudest' versions of the hue, then ultimately you have a problem with an element of you. Your insults are seemingly an attempt to distance yourself from the most obvious sign, that in the end you hail from Africa,
Feast of All Saints detailed the lives of free and enslaved people and was just as much about class as race.
however many generations it takes on your family tree to reach. By continually oppressing your own people, you become a 21st century apprentice of slave traders and you won't fully receive the acceptance you crave.
