Last week in the locker room, these white women were discussing their children, and one stated how she had one dark daughter (black hair and black eyes) and one light daughter (blond hair and light blue eyes), and they couldn't figure out where these features came from. The woman said she had little hope for the dark one, but when describing the other daughter she spoke with such pride and joy. At first I was a bit taken aback, because they just assume that everything light is better. The same thing is true in some African-American cultures: the lighter and brighter the hair and skin, the better. It has always been my opinion that if the entire world were white, blonde, blue-eyed and Christian, that people would still find reasons to hate. I'm not saying this lady hates her dark daughter, but just how deeply rooted our views on black and white issues are.
