I'm talking about this thread

It seems as though there is tension between West Afrikans and Horn of Afrikans.
It seems as though many West Afrikans feel that us Horn of Afrikans have a superiority complex due to our looks and features.
Unfortunately, I think there's some validity to this.
Recently, two of my co-workers, one Ethiopian and one West Afrikan had a conversation about that.
And the West-Afrikan mentioned to him that its common knowledge in his family that Horn of Afrikans feel like they better then other Afrikans
So it seems like the same dynamic that exists in the Afrikan American community between lightskin and darkskin people,
seems to exist on the Afrikan continent. I'm talking about Lightskin Supremacy.
White Supremacy, being the parent of Lightskin Supremacy, dictates that those who have a lighter skin tone, are superior then those who have a darker skintone.
Now, just because you're lightskinned doesn't automatically mean that you subscribe to Lightskin Supremacy, but unfortunately, many lightskinned Afrikans do believe in that.
And if you are one of those Africans who believe in Lightskin Supremacy, please also recognize that by default you automatically belief in White Supremacy,
because that is where your foundational idealogy comes from.
I also think you have a case where other Afrikans project their inferiority complex unto us Horn of Afrikans, an inferiority complex that comes from the world downing Afrikans for our feautures.
Its also important to recognize that human beings will always find a reason to feel like they're better then other human beings.
Are there many Horn of Afrikans that feel like they are better and different then other Afrikans? Sure, but on the flipside,
I'm sure there's also many West Afrikans that feel like they better then us simply because they're more developed economically.
Anyways, lets stop it with all this corny, superiority, inferiority shyt and recognize that we are all victims of White Supremacy.
Shout out to all my real Afrikans who aint on that bullshyt!
