This is disheartening to see that there is still a chasm, such as, skin color that is still prevalent in our black communities. Being a dark skinned black woman, I never thought I was less than or more than my lighter skinned sisters. I viewed those who did not accept me because of my skin color, as the one's having the problem, and not me. Thank God for parents and a community that informed and educated me at an early age, that my black is beautiful.
This is painful to watch but such a needed discussion in our community. Thank you, Bill Duke, for putting it out there!
