Based on the data you have posted on this topic --
I thought that you might also enjoy
reading (and, perhaps, even sharing) the following information .
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .
Listed below are links to data on the Historical MYTH
of a Color-Based / ****-Role HIERARCHY — as well
as the Urban LEGEND of Paper-Bag, Blue-Vein and
Other Allegations of Features-Based Entry ‘TESTS’
(in regards to the antebellum-era, continental U.S.):
...THE FACTS are as follows: 1)It is often a surprise
for people to learn that, in reality,there is actually No Such Thing As a "Light Skinned Black"person.
2)Very few people seem to be aware of the
fact thatthe
term "Light Skinned Black"isreallynothing more
than a racist oxymoron createdby Racial
Supremacists in an effortto forciblydeny those Mixed-Race individuals, who are of a Multi-Generational Multiracially-Mixed (MGM-Mixed) lineage, the right tofully embrace and
to also received public support in choosing to acknowledge the truth regardingtheir full ancestral heritage and lineage.
3)The people who have been slapped with the
false label and oxymoronic misnomer of "Light
Skinned Black"personaresimply Mixed-Race individuals-- who are from
families that have been CONTINUALLYMixed-RaceTHROUGHOUTmultiple generations.
4)Seeing that every other Mixed-Race group
is allowed the dignity of receiving support in having itself referred to by the
term that it most prefers – the question becomes“Why should the situation be any different for those Mixed-Race individuals who are of an Multi-Generational Multiracially-Mixed (MGM-Mixed) lineage?”.
5)If an MGM-Mixed individual would like to
be referred to by the term ‘Mixed-Race’ (which is what they actually are) rather
than by that of “Light-Skinned Black“(a term, which, once again, has the racist-origin of being nothing more than an
oxymoronic-phrase that was both created and coined by Racial Supremacists in an
effort to try to deny these Mixed-Race people their right to and
support in publicly acknowledging and also embracing their
FULL-Lineage) there is no reason that they(like
every other group on the planet -- whether Mixed-Race or not)should
not be allowed the right to choose the term that society uses in referring to them (andto have their full-lineage acknowledgedwithin that
term).
