@Verlean1 , I see what you did there but one thing you missed was the spot you might have lost me if I weren't interested in what you had to say is "White", I think my picture is high enough resolution to show that type of kindergarten color identification doesnt really do justice to visually describing my aged and less than consistently colored shell of a body, the hues and shades are all mine, I earned them through hard work and some from stupid mistakes but "White" I am not (and actually never have been "White" like Edgar Winter, my mom the artist would agree)!!!!!!
I understand thats easier than saying the old light skinned guy with battle scars from living and 8 shades of grey and brown hair but thats who I am the same way I would not be doing justice by looking at your picture and describing you as a younger black woman! Your looks are so much more to my eyes than darker skin, you deserve to be recognized for who you are. In 2020, thats what we need to see not White, Black, Red, Yellow and Brown. 5 colors is no way to parse 8 billion human petunias in our great melting pot world. I'm a human of many colors as are most of the humans I've met, in my community, state, nation and different countries I have traveled to are as well.
The problem we are all faced with today isnt a hatred of particular skin color issue by the masses, its a perception of it's importance by the few narrow minded individuals that exploit it as either a desirable or undesirable feature of humanity, it is neither of those, its just skin pigment. Now heres the part where I explain that in my lifetime things have changed even if we still only see 5 colors cause people like MLK and millions of folks lives he touched joined together as citizens of our nation to demand equal Rights for everyone within its borders. His peaceful marches and clear visions inspired the masses from all walks of life and every color under the sun, he gave his life to unite us all under one flag.
Its easier to make laws than change all minds, we must never stop trying but some will only stop hating when they have outlived their bodies, I know that not a perfect answer but its probably more true than not. Stay well, JR
