For decades, dark-skinned black men and women with kinky hair and African features, were at the top of light-skinned blacks' 'pecking order'. But I'm going to air some dirty laundry about us: we - black people - are the most racist people when it comes to black people. Example: many black colleges and universities would not allow dark-skinned student to join their sororities; in fact; many schools, as well as so-called 'elite' clubs and organizations, had what was called a 'paperbag' test. Any African American darker than a brown paper bag was not accepted in those schools and clubs. And the intra-racism goes on today. Howard University is currently telling black women that to be a member of their cheerleading and dance squads, that they must have 'straight' hair. Natural hair is unacceptable.

So now you know our dirty little secret. Black people are still hung up on skin color and hair. Black women would rather ruin their hair with chemicals than have a healthy, beautiful head full of natural hair. Black women in this country, and abroad, ruin their skin with bleaching cream. White folks started this mess; black people took it and ran with it, and are still running with it.
