Color struck

My mom told that there was a church near her when she was a little girl that had a comb hanging in the door and if your hair got tangled in the comb you couldn't enter the church.it was a colored church 'as they used to say back then'.As I grew up and studied black American history I found out that some churches even had a paper bag test if your elbow was darker than a brown paper bag you couldn't enter that church.all of this came to my mind while I was watching a few rap videos. It seems that the person or people that audition dancers (if you can call them that )uses the same methods (and they say that they are not old school).Even athletes and movie star seem to use the same methods. Maybe there's a kit that you can buy from the drug store right next to the magnum condoms or maybe they give them out at the barber shop because it seems only men uses it.women just go out find someone white.movie and television producers get a kit when hired.that and a clause in their contract saying that they can never make a movie for kids starring a black kid unless he's a cartoon.i am not dumping on people with light skin its just that we come in such a large range of colors.its like a field of flowers. We should take in all of its beauty and not limit ourselves
