Lightskin verse Darksin and the inbetween Brownskin

Blacks are not a united race or front. Morrison even shows that in The Bluest Eye when Geraldine says that there are colored people and niggers separating herself and her family from the rest of the race. Even today there are arguments about who is lightskin and who is dark skin and brown skin when we are all the same race. Then there is Pecola verse Maureen Peel where Maureen was accpeted easily and without question Pecola was not. Maureen had light skin because she was half black and half white and the light tone of her skin was enough for everyone to come flocking to her,while they left Pecola in the dust. The boys even responded to Maureen better than Cluadia and Frieda when they were taunting Pecola; once again showing the affects of a lightskin tone verse a darkskin tone.I find it ridiculous that we separate ourselves this way and it is why we are not able to accomplish things an united force. We have been told by society it is better to have light skin, straigh hair, and light eyes and we believe these things. On twitter I have seen "LightSkin People Be Like" and "Darkskin People Be Like"  trending, and its as if the whole entire black race is attacking its memebers. If we were to come to together as one and accept each other for who we are, we would not struggle as a race with as many issues as we do today. Instead we let our insecurities get the best of us and we desire to fit in with popular society. Soceity tells us that the lighter we are the more beautiful we are and the easier we are accepted and sadly this is true at times. We allow them to dictate how we think as a race when we should create our own standards and support one another.We yearn to be what we can not be. If we would stop fighting each other and begin to fight against racism, poverty, violence, and helping, the youth will achieve  greatness and have a proper education; we as a race would begin to evolve together. Instead we forget how our ancestors fought during the Civil Rights Act and how white people did not care how light you were if you were black you were black, therefore, beneath them. We could rise together and achieve things that have been deemed impossible for us to do.
