whether or not we want it to be we as a people are still very color struck. we have very definite ideas about what it means to be dark or light skinned. light skin equals stuck up and pretty or stuck up because you're pretty. if it were not so, people would not still metion one another in terms of color ie 'red' 'yellow' etc. not pick on the aka's but in many step shows i have seen down south, they have their girls shake their hair throughout the entire show. why? even some Delta chapters are notorious for only taking light-skinned girls. sad but true.
