Why is society not accepting of people with Dark skin?

[Judicial review]

I hope you learned a lesson MU. All you will get here is a bunch of racist responses and a derailed thread.

All hell get in hus class is a bunch of the same. Better here.

What would you expect from a loaded question. or has it become an article faith that America has never and will never accept people of color?

I expect nothing from loaded questions. I just pointed out that there is no instance in America where anyone has laughed at people just because they are not white.

America is eager to accept blacks who perform and behave as well as whites. The problem is that most do not. An additional problem is that it is dangerous to talk about it.

I have observed blacks making fun of whites, whites making fun of orientals, blacks and whites making fun of Mexicans, etc. there are ignorant people of all races.

 

[Asclepias]

I see/hear people making fun of others for having dark skin, even people of the same race will put "Darker" people down.. Why are we so caught up on skin color?

People associate those with light skin with more intelligence and lower rates of crime and illegitimacy. This is because people with light skin really do tend to be more intelligent, and to have lower rates of crime and illegitimacy.

In Latin America people who look more European are more respected than those who look more Indian. Even in the United States, where Hispanics can be easily distinguished by appearance from Americans of European descent, television programs created for Hispanic audiences feature people who look European. Women on Spanish language television programs frequently have blond hair.

In India those of higher castes have lighter skin than those of lower castes. India has been like this for at least two thousand years.

Light skin is the result of evolving in climates with less sunlight, and a colder climate. Survival in these areas requires more intelligence than survival in tropical climates. One must be able to survive frigid winters. In addition, agriculture is more difficult. Finally, civilization has reached its greatest extend in Europe and North East Asia. Intelligent people in civilized countries have usually been more prolific than intelligent people in tribal societies.

In the United States at least, in recent decades there has been a mild reverse in attitudes. Having a sun tan has become a status symbol. There are effective taboos against criticizing blacks, even when the criticism is accurate, as it usually is.

What Friends neglected to mention is that this has not always been the case. Much longer than the current period of time. Black was long the color of choice. Most if not all the ancient civilizations preferred Black. Before this new mindset where everything light or white was perceived to be the desired shade of skin color, Black was exalted as the color of choice. The Egyptians believed Black was the color of divinity along with the civilizations in India. The Sumerians called themselves the Black Head people. Everything Black was holy.

The simple truth is that white men were insecure with this. They changed the narrative and made white the desired skin color simply by force of conditioning. This has affected the entire world with its silliness. The most basic tenets of survival would have you equip yourself. Nature selected the Black man simply because the melanin in our skin protected us from the sun. The inability to produce that melanin is not an improvement. One would actually liken it to a disability.

It's all based on their superstition, stupid. You can't grasp that? No wonder you people are seen the world over as less intelligent. Too bad that intelligent black people have to be brought down in the eyes of the world because of idiots like you.

I dont get your point. The superiority of white skin is whats based on superstition. i'm pointing out that in ancient times people were not fooled and did not want lighter or white skin. They knew that Black was the best thing going. Did you miss the OP or something monkey?
