does your twitter description not read "To succeed and maintain your reputation as a black man, you have to be whiter than white." ?

@mandizi, when you refer to a group of black people you think are below you, with the same terms that originate from racist people who use them to refer to black people as a whole... you're not seeing something wrong there?

never said it was right but I'm no longer defending walking stereotypes or claiming them as my people.

BBC
Notting Hill Carnival 
1. Who Started It?
 
Wyn Baptiste grew up in Notting Hill believing his dad Selwyn, a Trinidadian steel pan player who arrived in Britain in 1960 and was the first Chair of Notting Hill Carnival Committee, was the man who started Carnival. But the truth isn't quite that simple.

Wyn discovers that the origins of Carnival are as tangled as the history of London itself as he meets key players who were actually there with his dad, and goes on a journey that takes in mass immigration, the 1958 race riots, pioneering social workers, Trinidadian steel pan players – and adventure playgrounds.

Looks like it is going to rain heavily come Monday. Praying that it changes last minute to be warm with clear skies. Definitely not feeling the idea of rolling with a float the whole way whilst getting soaked.
