Racism, in its simplest form, is the dislike of another because of race, creed or color. It is as simple as that. People have, and will, always dislike others based on looks.

The Greeks, looked down on the Asian people, the Asian people down on the European people. The Romans on all that didn't come from Rome.

The 'normal' people dislike the handicapped, this is how Attia the Hun took power. He accepted the shunned, the handicapped 'mongoloid', known as the Mongol's. The Egyptian's hated the Jew's, all hated the Samaritans.

The Nazi's, (German's) so beheld looks that they raised the blond hair blue eyed, 'Aryan race', above all others. The Muslim Brotherhood hold's one shade of Brown skin over another. Some Psychiatrist's look at this as trained 'racism', while others believe it to be the 'fear' of difference.

In truth racism can never be ended, for in it's simplest form it is how one picks a mate over others. But this form of racism is good because it is not based in race, creed, or color; but of love.

In truth, we as a people are weak of flesh but, if we understand personal responsibility and hold all people to the valve of personal responsibility only then can we hold racism and all other evils to a minimum.

Sociologists believe that when light skin is valued in a culture, those who are darker skinned may become the victims of discrimination. In American culture, whiteness and a European "look" was considered the norm, and as a result, blackness was associated (unfairly) with lesser status. A by-product of favoring light skin is that darker skinned blacks were treated less favorably than lighter-skinned blacks (who had features more closely aligned with the European norm). Even today, there are lighter-skinned black people who consider themselves superior to (and more attractive than) darker-skinned blacks: film-maker Spike Lee commented about this phenomenon in the movie "School Daze."

Are light skin girl prettier than brown or dark skin girls?

A lot of people tend to depict light skinned girls as being more "attractive." Take for example... Beyonce, Mya, Keisha Chante, Keri Hilson, Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys..etc. But I don't really think that one race can outshine the other. There are light skinned AND dark skinned girls who are beautiful. We all have flaws within ourselves. I'm lightskinned, but even still I take offense when all you see in the media or magazines are light skinned girls. I have dark skinned friends, and my older sister is dark skinned or brown skinned. Each and every shade is beautiful, no matter how light, and no matter how dark.
