Light Skinned Libras<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Regarding the article Jiggaboo’s and Wannabe’s Revisited: For Light Skinned Only<\/a>, that was written about the ‘Light Skinned Libras’ party that was planned in Detroit, Michigan – please take note of the following reader response (and related links as well).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Few people ever seem to bother (or want) to note the fact that THE DJ (who actually planned and promoted the cancelled ‘Light-Skinned Libra Party’ in Detroit, MI) is, himself, a person who HAS A skin tone which is that of being of a VERY DARK COMPLEXION (and yet, still, he wanted to host a party in which he publicly rejected the people with his own features).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Those who drone on and on about how people who have a darker-complexion skin tone are so often ‘discriminated against’ – seldom seem to want to also admit that the people who direct this ‘discrimination’ against them are USUALLY also of a dark (not light) skin-complexion themselves (ex. friends, relatives, potential partners, etc.).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Thus, one cannot help but to feel that the REAL question should NOT be “Why does it seem that the lighter complexioned people are so ‘favored’?” – BUT RATHER – “How can society help the darker complexioned people stop rejecting each other?”<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Blaming the ‘discrimination’ – which is often suffered by the people who are of a darker skin complexion – on the simple “existence of” or the alleged “favor toward” the ‘people with a lighter skin-complexion’ will NOT result in the ‘discrimination’ disappearing – but rather, will simply serve as a ‘SMOKESCREEN’ to distract from the REAL problem – which clearly seems to be that of a strong ‘SELF-HATRED’ embraced by some darker-complexioned people that is apparently then PROJECTED onto other dark-complexioned people.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
