The crux of the 'dark skin/light skin' issue is not about excluding anyone from partipation. As ayinde clearly stated: NO WHITE or FAIR-SKINNED PERSON is fit to lead any BLACK movement that is supposed to be addressing White Supremacy, White Privilege, Racism, or Gender Discrimination. (When you repeat this statement try to use the qualifiers I placed.)

Even so, this website is not a earth based movement. It is an African centered/owned forum that is deadicated toward re-educationself development, reasoning and truth. We do not seek to be leaders of anyone mor claim to speak for anyone other than ourselves. We encourage people to think for themselves so that they could lead themselves and not be lead like sheep. Faith doesn't have to be blind.

Having said this, if an opportinity arises for me to step aside and give up my turn for a dark skinned Black who has experienced the depths of White Supremacy (and WHO IS INFORMED), i will gladly do so. i recognise that such a person will be better suited to represent certain views that i have not had the beenfit of DIRECTLY EXPERIENCING. That is not to say that i don't recognise that i have a role to play in overturning White Supremacy, that is suited to my experiences.
