The biggest fight we face is the fact that the elites who claim to be AGAINST racism are promoting the “light-skinned black” oxymoron. “Pinky” was not an attack on racism but a confirmation of it. We are supposed to cheer when “Pinky” is allowed to inherit a house, but we are also told that she is
\ntoo inferior to claim her white ancestry, that she is a genetic freak who belongs
\nonly to Negroes, and that, despite her beauty and intelligence, she is not good
\nenough to be the wife of a “pure white” man.<\/p>\n

The Director of this racist propaganda, Greek-American Elia Kazan, was not nearly as “white” as the people he wished to condemn as “black.”<\/p>\n
