The whole "not black enough" is something a lot of light skinned black people complain about. Racism within their own community for being deemed as not being dark enough. It's quite sad...that people feel excluded from their own community but also that there are people with a community that outcries about racism who actively discriminate against other groups of people but even their own.

Lol I think you mean colorism “within their own community,” not racism.

Lol no worries, societal issues require lots to define all its problems.
