I live in the United States and as such, I am aware of many of the issues here. There is a huge problem among African Americans discriminating against each other because of the shades of their skin. Blacks don't only encounter discrimination from other people. In my opinion, this should be at the forefront of all Negro-centrists agenda, correcting this problem.

Here are two eye-opening videos I want to share with you. The first is a girl (obviously looks more African than anything else) who is Biracial. Despite this she expressed self-disgust and hatred towards her black side.

She makes statements such as: "I am scared of black people" "I wish my skin was lighter" and even says she has a confederate flag. I promise, if you watch this video it will enlighten you to some of the problems and social stigma of blacks in the United States. The unfair social and pre-conceived notions they have about each other are indeed scary. It is a big issue, and very unfortunate and contributes to some of the bigoted opinions non-blacks have about them.

Start this video at 1:02, and you will hear some of the most outrageous things you have ever heard.

Another video, a black man who hates his own race is helped by Tyra Banks to disguise himself as a "white man" for a day.

How common do you think this is among African-Americans? What about for Blacks living in European countries? This is a serious issue. What can we do together with Blacks to help solve it?
