“Light Skin Party”? – Say it isn’t so…. October 12, 2007
Oh yes sadly it is true. :\
I know as a Black community we have our “issues” with shadism and colour but to have a party and make a flyer that asks “light skin” girls to come out and they will get in for free… :S I am not sure how to respond to this..
It’s like we see one person in our community doing or saying something bad and we have to say No! NO!! NO!!! I can go lower than that, watch me.
This party is promoted by DJ Lish from Detroit He has a myspace page . and his phone # is (313) 743-1291
Damn people read a book, it is not OK to divide our community by shade or colour!!
What do you think? ~Rico
UPDDATE:Apparently the party is canceled because of backlash from the Internet< Click here.
