There was a lot of Segregation between white-skinned and black-skinned men. However, Mebane's essay explains deeper about black-men's lives; social classes in college, unfair-accomplishments, segregation among black people, and old fate for black-black skinned women--let's omit this 'cause it is already understood as segregation of the black people . Mary Mebane explains all these topics clearly throughout his essay.
Lastly, Third class were students of working class(;)to who were just filling up the population.
Darker the students, the harder
to they achieve
d fair judge
mentfor accomplishments .
One of the reasonsAs instance,was thatthe faculty expected lighter-skinned students
to be
ing more intelligent
than black students.Segregation didn't stop with just ruining school-lives and working lives of black-skinned people, but also social lives. Since most of the people
arewere favoring light skins, black-skinned people
had started hating their own skins. And this resulted another segregation among black people: They did not accept black-black-skinned women. They considered black-black skins as ugly, and this caused black-black women to take refuge
inwith makeup to hide their black skins.
All of these discrimination of black-back skins
leadledto the result of black-black skinned women having only three gates to be accepted by
the congregations.
One was to attach herself to a light-skinned women expecting someone to look at her. Another was to make herself sexually available. Maybe this is why there are so many black holes in current periods.
AnotherLikewise,(try to make use of other transitional device) was to resign herself to a more caste life-style; domestic work or churches.
Black women participated in religiosity often were the ones who accepted their worthlessness. Like this, many black men, especially black-black skinned women had have to reject themselves and treat themselves as worthless.
When there was a great amount of numbers of black people giving up their worthiness, there were also the ones who didn't give up to achieve real human rights. Often, they didn't give up when there were protests of black people ; which helped them to realize that they have powers- powers to deny something, power to strike anyone who can't strike back, and power to ride someone down.
The topic you've chosen to criticize is undoubtedly interesting. I remembered my Afro-Asian Literature subject which we tackled about apartheid or a political practice of segregating black and white people.
