How dare you say why do Blacks have a problem with America. We are the ONLY race that was brought to America against our will. Every other race CHOSE to come to America. Africans were stripped of their language, culture, lineage. Most African- Americans have no recollection of African culture. You may not put boots up in your house, beacuse it has no personal meaning to you, but for African-Americans to display our beautiful art in our homes is a reflection of our love and rememberance of a country that our ancestors were forced to forget. So until you are forced to give up your culture instead of CHOOSING to, then you had no basis for the repugnant statement that you wrote.

The term mulatto was used to describe people of two parents of different races. One parent was black, and one was white or of another race. It is not politically correct to use that term. The new P.C. meaning is bi-racial. Tell your friend that before she offends someone.

I'm also a light-skinned woman and have been snubbed more times than I can recollect by dark-skinned women. After reading these two books: Our Kind Of People and The Color Comple, I realized why. To a certain point, light-skinned blacks have led privileged lives. The first three historically black colleges were built for light-skinned blacks who weren't allowed into the white Ivy League schools. Churches and social groups were restricted to light-skinned people. After reading these books, I realized that dark-skinned people of the older era have a right to be upset, but not the generation of today. If anyone wants information on these books, e-mail me.
