\The white man is still there. The white duppy\: Gothic Haunting and Colourism in Marlon James's A Brief History of Seven Killings
Rhone Fraser comes closest to an examination of colourism, arguing that the novel depicts a \"small, white elite\" that governed Jamaica; but his emphasis is neocolonial: the pressures brought to bear on Jamaica by the International Monetary Fund, American foreign policy, and the Cold War (67-68, 69). Caribbean colourism emanates from slavery and is based on white supremacist ideologies, which equated white with freedom, positivity, civilization, and beauty; blackness denoted servitude, negativity, uncivilized, and ugliness. Because of their proximity to whiteness, mixed-race people with lighter skin were seen as more intelligent than their dark-skinned counterparts. [...]a pigmentocratic social stratification arose, headed by white people, then light-skinned people, ple, with black people at the bottom. The Singer's dark-skinned middle-class \"haters\" are deemed less effective when speaking on race: \"Bossman .. . get himself a big fucking degree only to have that little half-white shortass become the voice of black liberation\" (87).

It's high time to legalize marijuana
The guy who made that list? Well he had to be quote-unquote baked. How else do you explain the presence of videos like \"True Facts about the Tarsier,\" \"Revenge of the LOL cat\" and \"Jesus Thinks You're Fat?\" \"There are no perfect answers to people's legitimate concerns about marijuana use,\" the Times noted in the unsigned editorial. \"But neither are there such answers about tobacco or alcohol, and we believe that on every level - health effects, the impact on society and law-and-order issues - the balance falls squarely on the side of national legalization.\" True, today's weed isn't the same stuff the kid in your dormitory sold back in the '70s. Back then \"grass\" probably contained a certain amount of lawn clippings.
