How do you feel about someone hosting a 'light-skin' party?

I heard someone in Detroit is hosting a party called the Light Skin Party. Needless to say, the club got numerous phone calls objecting to the idea saying that it's a way of segregation within the culture i.e. light-skin vs. dark skin. People also reference this party with the "Doll Test" (black children choosing white dolls because they think white dolls are 'pretty and good').





So, how do you feel about a party dedicated to light-skinned black women?

Congratulations to the "Negroes" who have successfully publicly displayed the highest form of self-hatred there is! Only one who has deep rooted, generational hatred for himself and his African ancestry would consider intra-racial segregation.They have culturally regressed 50 years by pulling a ploy that only those who would seek to further reepress African-Americans by any means necessary. After all of the struggling, marching, and scarificing the elders have done, this is how their contributions and legacies are honored. I am not only saddend to learn of this ignorance, but I am completly repulsed. When this information was shared with my parents who were participants of the civil rights movement and have shared stories of many "firsts" within my lifetime, ie: first African-Americans to hold several positions of power and authority in the City of Phila., all I could do was apologize to them and again thank them for their contributions as well as those of their contemporaries. I hope and pray that this type of ignorance is contained to Detroit and not something that would ever be entertained any where else in the world.

Reply:I think someone had a dream about his children being judged by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin.





The idea is an utter disgrace, and spits upon the memory of that man.

Reply:I think it's real stupid and says a lot about the people hosting the party.
Reply:That's crazy man. In a time where things like the Jena 6 and many more injusteces towards blacks are going on this is how we show solideriety? I hope nobody with some sense goes to the damn party!
Reply:that has to be the most ignorant thing i've ever heard!
Reply:That is so dumb and racist. I am white and I still have a problem with that is that even legal?!?!
Reply:Gee....well that certainly got them the publicity they were probably after!......





I think it's very inappropriate and totally unnecessary to be doing anything of the like.





I believe that it's just one more thing that adds to the issue of skin colour and racism in the States.





Very uncool.
