This post really hits home with me. I am a mixed race person that identifies as both Native American and Black, and the prejudice that I've encountered in the Native community towards Blacks just amazes me. Many PoC have internalized, to some degree, the idea that lighter skin is better skin, and it's a shame because it's just a another barrier for PoC in the fight against racism.
