being on the lighter end of the color spectrum i find almost daily that people are still color struck just by comments i get from males...specifically relating to color...in my own family, my great grandmother (rest her soul) would not positively deal with anyone that was beyond a certain shade...i heard stories of favoritism due to color even as recently as when me and my cousins were very young children and her not particularly caring for the other childrens color...but mine of course was suitable...i say all that to say that even today, as evidenced by the dark man/light woman pairings in film and television (a tradition that has been going on since the the early history of tv and film) light skin vs. dark skin is an issue for many...it may not be that evident to those whose appearance is not their livelihood...but as an individual whose appearance is a livelihood...i believe it still is a very pressing issue...
