African Americans should stop using skin color to discriminate against each other because it hinders the progression of the entire black community.įrequent sightings of dark skinned people portrayed negatively in the media is heavily exploited, while light skinned and non-black individuals are portrayed more positively.These kind of pre-judgements negatively impact the African American community and prevents the culture from moving forward. What a person makes of themselves and all of their aspirations should be what they’re judged on - not their skin color.
With no thanks to the media and its influence on what is seen as beautiful, Black America is tearing itself apart when it focuses on such a shallow aspect of a person that they can’t control. This is a very hot and taboo subject among the African American community.Īs a culture that came from years of oppression and hatred inflicted by slave owners, forced to think that because of their color, they were inferior, blacks have somehow reverted back to having this sort of mindset which is, in fact, hurting them as a whole. The effects of the African American self-hate toward each other because of one’s skin color is rather eye opening and sad, to say the least. Lighter skin is often preferable to darker skin.
In many different cultures and countries around the world, skin color plays a huge role in the concept of beauty. Digging deeper to get a better understanding of the issue.
