    There was a bit from a very old Saturday Night Live (so old, it was Garrett Morris), a segment called 'Black Talk.' In it, Garrett Morris, who is very dark, asked the guest, I forget who, I want to say Andrew Young, but anyway, a lighter-skinned black, about intelligence testing of different racial groups could have started the idea that blacks are not as smart as whites, since the tests had been around only a few years, but people had said that for a long time. The guest responded rather matter-of-factly that it stemmed from the fact that light-skinned blacks are smarter than dark-skinned blacks. The double take that Garrett Morris gave... and the 'say what?' was the punchline, and the fade out arguing over the point...
