Also what's Black Culture GAFs thoughts on light skinned people of all races? Is there really a war between the light skinned and dark skinned like PP (rip come back to us brah) suggests?
Cuz I'm a light skinned brown kid and I've noticed a slight trace of hierarchy
I wouldn't dare call it a war. But there is a conflict. And like most insanity in the USA black community, it goes back to slavery.
The children of the masters and slave women might have a fractionally better life, even though they were still slaves. And if masters had children with those slave women, their progeny might have it even better. This is where we get the concept that house slaves were probably lighter skinned than field slaves. Where we get all those crazy terms like mulatto, quadroon, octroon, etc. The lighter the slave, the more the chance of training in a skill, education, etc. So when slavery ended, that group of blacks were more likely to continue being doctors, preachers, teachers, etc.
This all leads to the "colorstruck" phenomenon, where black people look down on the darker skinned members of the group. My mother, who is lighter skinned, was discouraged from marrying my father, who is pretty dark. Thankfully, my mother had good sense.
