"Light skinned nature" and "white woman"? Am
I reading too much into this? Because this kinda gave me pause/troubles
me? So would a dark-skinned or "black woman" not be a fitting exhibitor of
the other qualities that Juldeh speaks of? I've just got a lot of
thoughts/questions rolling around in my head at the moment, that I can put in a
nutshell by saying that colorism rears its ugly head in the most unlikely of
places (for me anyway). And did you say this is a traditional song?
Or is this one that Juldeh wrote? I mean, to think that skin color is a
marker of good moral character, I'm just speechless.
Color don't mean nothin' except what we (and it
seems Juldeh too) puts into it.
