This is all very intentional, to keep us divided and fracture us even further. Think about it - We're powerful when we're united. That's dangerous to those who mean to control us. We've already had divisions, now it's even further. There's fractures within political parties now, there's fractures among people if color, there's now even fractures among the LGBTQ community. More subtypes every day who hate the other subtypes.

Starting these kinds of divides insures that there would never be able to be any kind of civil uprising or revolution as there had been before when the overlords have gotten out of control.
I can’t disagree.
Who are the overlords?
The government
The Illuminati
The Bilderbergers
The Rockefellers
The Deep State
Etc, etc

That's my general term for whoever is truly in charge of what's going on...whatever entity that may really be.

Not that I agree. I am biracial but considered “light skin” and I have been judged for it/harassed about it so I get it. But that’s why that is.

I hope we get past this soon.
I don’t think we will get past it soon. Not because I’ve lost hope but because it’s going to take more time. When the majority of society chooses to stay on the merry go round the few who are not on that merry go round are only a blur.
Soon... I mean next 1-2 generations. :-)

Ridiculous! Samuel L Jackson played Nick Fury when Fury was supposed to be white. And he did an AMAZING JOB!!! Those people can get over it.

I think I saw that Valentina replied to this as well but I’d say our government, other governments, big tech companies (half joking on that one)

I hope so but I think there is going to need to be some all around major mindset changes for that to happen.
