OBSESSIVE SKIN BLEACHING

colourism >< DARK SKIN VERSUS LIGHT SKIN

In general,people with ancestors from tropical regions and higher latitudes (who have were exposed to greater ultraviolet radiation) have darker skin than people with ancestors from middle latitudes. This is far from a hard and fast rule, however, because many light-skinned groups have managed to survive the equator through social adaptation. The same can be said of dark-skinned  groups living at subtropical  and temperate latitudes.

This started in the days of slavery. Back when blacks were divided  into two parts light nigger and dark nigger. The light nigger was closer to white,so the only thing acceptable for the white man was that a light skin black person was that they worked inside. While light skinned individual worked inside of the plantation, cooking for the master, cleaning the master's dirty clothes, and teaching the master's wife how to cook combread.The darker skin black person slave worked outside in the field, picking cotton, hanging laundry ,and help grow the crops. The dark skin was treated like nothing while the light skin (although a black person) was treated better  and worshiped secretly by the master/boss as she became master's secret mistress.

The have been several studies done on race relations over the years. The most memorable of these involved children playing with games, the black child was asked which doll they prefered to play with the black doll or the white one, shockingly enough the black child chose the white doll. Black people have a long history of  being taught that if you were dark skin you are inferior.
