The Great Colorism War Within the Black Community

As of today I’m drawing another line in the sand now. At first I had my line drawn for light skin knee grows versus dark skin knee grows since it’s quite a few YouTubers out there like Sarge Willie Pete and Chrissie who constantly make videos crying about light skin people and they always lump non-mixed light skin blacks & biracials together because they want to create a dark skin Wakanda. But now, I see I may have to draw yet another line separating biracials from non-mixed light skin niggas. So it looks like 2019 might officially be the year where it’s a full blown colorism knee grow war with 3 groups fighting for dominance: the biracials versus the non-mixed light brights vs the dark skins. But here’s the thing, at the end of the day, us biracials will still come out on top because we’re still seen as more privileged even when you compare us to non-mixed light brights, and this is not me saying this to toot my horn. This is stuff I’ve actually heard pro-black babblers say themselves. We all know the reason why people say this is because those of us who are mulattos have a biological white parent therefore those who say that honestly believe that some of that white privilege kind of rubs off on us by default. Now that may or may not be true, I don’t know, but if it is true, then guess what…my squad will come out victorious in this knee grow version of the Game of Thrones. Let’s just be honest. These days when I fill out paperwork and I get down to a portion that asks me what my race is, I actually have multiple options to pick from now.😬 Meaning I can select black or I can select a category that says “2 RACES”. Now I never saw this category growing up, but now I see it everywhere and not too long I was wondering why that category even existed. I’m not sure why it exists, but let a pro-black babbler tell it, it’s a new category designed to separate us biracials from the knee grow population in the coming years, to which I can somewhat agree with that logic I suppose…who knows.
