Still an issue in Black America?
A feature in this month's Ebony magazine raises the question: Is Skin Color Still an Issue in Black America?
One author stated, "I think people who look less African are more likely to make White Americans more comfortable to be around."
Norma Solomon White, supreme basileus of AKA says we need to put skin color behind us. "It is not as much of an issue as it was many, many, years ago... I think that the few people who feel that you have to look a certain way are in the minority."
I heard our National President gave her opinion also. I don't have the actual magazine here, so if anyone does, how did she reply?
Cultural experts say how Michael Jordan's image and Tyson Beckford's image have changed the way many African-Americans view color and beauty and find out why Black men are less hung up on color than they used to be.
For those of you who have read the article, do you agree or disagree and why?
