The lightskin vs. darkskin thing in America is worse than the Bloods vs. Crips...

HAha that is laughable.
No one is being killed because they are dark and light.
So how is it the same?

Btw do you know any bloods or crips?

I know what you mean.  I'm from Kentucky and it's a common problem here.

Rwanda was a tribal system
One group had 85% of the population.
The other (15%) was in charge (colonial history), they refused to give up power.
Elections were held, the group with 85% population won.
The new Prime Minister(mr 85%) was killed.

The 85% group got pissed and commenced a killing spree.

Now come back with the names.

Yes, and he also failed to addressed why and how many those tribal wars got started. That is, if he knows the history. A good read is author, James Michner's 'The Covenant.' The book explains how and why many of those tribal groups got started. Many of them formed due to colonialism.

Thank you for "getting" my point.

What point? Do you know why those groups came to be? Read James Michner's 'The Covenant.' Those tribes aren't as old as many people think. Many of them formed to fight against colonialism and the other tribes that bought into the mind games of the colonialist.

We used to have a joke about those being loyal to the British during Independence movements.
Those homies would stay loyal until the Brits got into the boats and left them standing there.

It's just as bad in the Hispanic/Latin community....

My Grandmother is Brazilian. She's barely tan... but she still wasn't light enough in the eyes of my Grandfather and his family.

It's disgusting that it happens within my own family...

Yes this is true and it is true in the Indian community. I'm referring to the people of India. The British influence played a major factor in the light skin and dark skin issue. Can't forget that this also was a big issue in other places. Italy. Josephine Baker's ex Italian manager and lover talked about the problems that darker/ethnic Italians experience vs the northern fair skin light hair and eyes Italians.

You arent being killed or having your hand chopped off because you are dark, so I really dont think so.

Just because it isn't physical doesn't mean it isn't detrimental.

Having to go through life knowing your own family doesn't like you, even though they've never met you can do just as much damage to someone.

Michner's book is a very good read. The book is a thick as a dictionary. James changed the names of the tribes and colonialist. But the historical parts remained. Zulu and many others were trying to get rid of the British, dutch etc. The after math of these colonialist brought in warlords in Rwanda and othr western African countries.

Sorry, just can't equate being maimed and killed, exterminated, etc to emotional pain, But I understand that it hurt you.

Hell why do white people go get tans? Dark skin, light skin, tan skin, white skin, isn't it all just a person's preference?

It goes just a bit deeper than that.

I know a lot things, but that's irrelevant and doesn't define the overall point that I made that is more relevant to the actual topic than the point that you try to make.
