THIS was the very thing. The subject of a recent article I read that I
found very disturbing. :( When Black people regard themselvs as that
way they've been seen by stupid whites. As bad.


There was a study where a afro-am child is given a white doll and a
black doll and asked which one she prefers. She says the white doll.
When asked, she says black dolls are bad.

I got into a very bad discussion about Bill Cosby not long ago.... and
his attitude that black people can reach the same goals as whites and
still be black rather than 'black playing being whaite'.

I guess we have yet a long ways to go out of the Dark Brained Ages.

 OH brother. But you know what? There's a Black Social WOrker group
that disencourages whites from adopting black children because the
black children ened their Black Heritage!?!?! Sheeze.
