The Origin Of Skin Color And The Development Of Racism And Colorism In A Sea Of Ignorance.
Anthropoligist, Nina Jablonski says that differing skin colors are simply our bodies' adaptation to varied climates and levels of UV exposure. Charles Darwin disagreed with this theory, but she explains, that's because he did not have access to NASA. She explains that... All Humans Were Black At One Point.
This truth at the heart of why the religious right wanting creationism taught in schools rather than evolution is to hide this truth and many others.
Soledad Obrien, has only touched the surface with her CNN Special "Who Is Black In America" of this issue of skin color among Black people. To help light skin and dark skin straight hair or nappy Black people and other people of color understand why skin color is a persistent racial issue today, we must look to the distant past for the beginnings of Racism among white people and Colorism among people of color.
This speech was said to have been delivered by Willie Lynch on the banks of the James River in the colony of Virginia in 1712. Lynch was a British slave owner in the West Indies. He was invited to the colony of Virginia in 1712 to teach his methods to slave owners there.
Dr. Ray Hagins of the Afrikan Village and Cultural Center in St. Louis delivers the details of the Willie Lynch letter that tells slave holders how to divide slaves among skin color and cross breed them with whites so that a new race of people is created that is no longer a threat.

First, I shall thank you, the gentlemen of the Colony of Virginia, for bringing me here. I am here to help you solve some of your problems with slaves. Your invitation reached me on my modest plantation in the West Indies, where I have experimented with some of the newest, and still the oldest, methods for control of slaves.
