The above is the longer version of a recent piece I wrote for Truthout's Public Intellectual Page. The piece was shortened and given a different title. The first part is pretty much the same and the second part expands on the relationship between law enforcement violence, racial profiling... and this topic of light-skin preference and the Smiling Brown Project. The primary reason for posting these articles/columns is to solicit more stories for the project. Thanks to all who have contributed thus far. Stories can be sent to or for more info, write to: XColumn@gmail.com
