I want to address a post that call themselves #TEAMLIGHTSKIN vs TEAMDARKSKIN: Nina Simone sang FOUR WOMEN and one of the verses is approrpriate to my comments on this. My skin is yellow, my hair is long, between two worlds I do belong. My father was rich and white, he forced my mother late one night, what do they call me. my name is Saffrona. The origin of dividing lighter versus darker started from slavery by a man named Willie Lynch. He delivered a speech called The Making of a Slave This speech was delivered by Lynch in Virginia in 1712. He was a british slave owner in the West Indies. He writes in his speech at the top if his list color or shade. Distrust is stronger than trust, and envy stronger than adulation, respect or admiration. (Google Willie Lynch to read the whole speech). If you learn how this Started, than you will learn how to STOP this. Rename your team #TEAMLOVEMYSISTERS, and stop this division. Love yourselves please. HOLLER IF YOU HEAR ME!!!!
