Greetings Africanempress
It was never said that light skinned people have no role to play...because that wouldn't be true. The point is this (as reasoned by an informed dark skinned woman), if you were walking in the forest and u hold on to a bamboo, and it cuts you and pains, that is a totally different experience from if i tell you, in the forest there is a bamboo that can cut you. Observe that massive difference that affirms the fact that the experience is the evidence.
There is absolutely no doubt that light skinned blacks have made invaluable contributions towards the overturning of the White Supremacist sytem (and continue to do so) but that doesn't negate the fact that dark skinned Blacks are generally more adversely affected and as a result must be given priority in the balancing of the scales. These informed (if they choose) voices which has been suppressed brutally, are the ones less seen by and less heard on mainstream media. That is clearly seen even on this forum.
