Black & White Color Issues

.
Sheesh! I just had a conversation with someone on Facebook about color issues.

Its amazing the different views out there!

Okay we know about the whites who hate blacks. I just had a conversation with a person who believed Black, specifically Black Africans ought to feel threatened by mixed people -Caribbeans, African Americans, etc. and for sure Biracials.

Those type of people -the person says- should be considered a half-caste. And until they breed in- i.e. get themselves blacker, they are "striving to make Blacks invisible."

What an attack!!!

How is it assumed, presumed that my black parents deliberately breed out? I'll admit I myself married a white guy. But my parents? They were both from Haiti from Haitians.  the caribbean in and of itself, I supposed, is mixed so perhaps that's what you mean. The more caribbean babies that get born, the more African American babies that get born the more threatened Africans feel????

And if, by virtue of my very existence, i'm striving to "make us invisible" then there can't logically be any love towards me by Africans. Unless Africans like those who they claim are aiding in destroying them. which brings back the fear, "is there really nothing but love for the non-Black black folks"?

I totally don't reject  blackness,nor Africans, etc.  In fact I am only now beginning to understand your stance. Its almost as if the brown people of the world are a threat to both Blacks and Whites. So both groups use coercion to pressure this brown group -who are like voters sitting on the fence- to come to their side, the whites by shaming the brown about their lean towards black; and the blacks by claiming to have 'nothing but love' for us --but we gotta get blacker to have a non detrimental psychological title; some kind of whole sounding title.

Well, hmmmmmm...I have to go back to thinking about this but...it raises the question...perhaps its the browns that should unit (if they can ever get over hues and shades. if they can ever get over all the pressures surrounding them).

It would seem that based on this conversation, that  the brown people are a "children of a lesser God" where the force and power that black holds joins with the force and the power that whites possess. I wonder if the goal of brown people should be to  harness this new power and defy the whole color system -just shoot it right out of the earth.....
