I cannot honestly believe that a black man wrote that. Even though some of our people do honestly feel that lighter is better, I cannot believe that any black man in this country would go THAT far. This is probably some teenaged white boy trying to see how much of a response he can get from this. This essay is just a lot of lies and propaganda supported by absolutely no fact.

He says that White Americans took slaves from Africa so we could be saved. What ever happened to missionaries? If all they wanted was to introduce us to Christ, they could have sent missionaries and left us in Africa. It is common knowledge that Europeans often hid behind the guise of "saving souls" when they knew that they were committing atrocities. They said the same thing about what they did to the Native Americans.

Then he says that a few centuries back some European scientist proved the lighter skin is better than and superior to darker skin. Who??? Oh, I forgot.

Do not take this seriously. Do not even give it a second glance. This was put on the internet to get us all riled up and agitated. Let's not give the person the satsisfaction.
