A party promoter in Detroit...oh, just read it yourself:
Yasmine Toney describes herself as a “dark-skinned sista.” So when she heard about a recent club promotion in Detroit, allowing all-night free admission to black women with fair or light skin, she was incensed.
The promoter, who goes by the name DJ Lish, didn't seem to understand what the fuss was about.
“I thought it was a brilliant promotion at the time. I didn’t anticipate any type of feedback. It was just a party thing.”
Suitably enlightened, he has now canceled planned "sexy chocolate" and "sexy caramel" promotions.
it sounds like that old SNL skit with Julian Bond and Garret Morris: "Light-skinned blacks are smarter than dark-skinned blacks..." The difference then, it was intentional satire.

Let's stop this disgusting judging of women by the color of their skin and go back to judging them on whether they're foxes or dogs.

Proving once again that all racism and discrimination in America stems from one source and one source alone: evil whitey, the unholy spawn of Dead White Europeans (TM).
