THE BLACK-WHITE DIVIDE AIN'T BLACK & WHITE

THIS IS BLACK.











THIS IS WHITE.










THIS IS WHAT BLACK PEOPLE'S SKIN IS REALLY COLORED LIKE.

IT AIN'T BLACK; IT'S BROWN, OR VARIANTS OF BROWN.









THIS IS WHAT WHITE PEOPLE'S SKIN IS REALLY COLORED LIKE.

IT AIN'T WHITE; IT'S TAN, OR VARIANTS OF TAN.



USING THE TERMS "BLACK" AND "WHITE" FOR THE TWO RACES PERPETUATES A FALSEHOOD: THAT THE RACES ARE BLACK & WHITE - OPPOSITES, ONE WITH COLOR AND ONE WITHOUT COLOR.

TAN-COLORED PEOPLE AND BROWN-COLORED PEOPLE ARE CLOSER IN COLOR TO EACH OTHER THAN WHITE IS TO BACK.

THINK ABOUT IT.
