Saw this episode of Tyra one time talking about whether black people with lighter skin complexions have it easier than those with darker complexions. Being a light-skinned black person myself, I couldn't understand why someone would think I have it easier than another black person. Of course, as with anything, there are advantages and disadvantages. But at the end of the day, I'm still black no matter what shade it is. I still face the same racial profiling, prejudice and discrimination the next black person faces. I don't really don't know from my experiences, but do light skinned blacks really have it easier than dark skinned blacks? I, personally do not think so.

This post made me think of a very funny (and thoughtful) SNL skit in 1977
