Before I ask this question I must emphasise that I am not a colourist or racist. I have read that it is mostly light skinned blacks who have "made it" financially/socially in Unites States. Does this book says anything about that?

Biden Yes, the novel begins with a story about how the author's lighter-skinned Grandmother was quite a colorist and got into the story. Fascinating read! …moreYes, the novel begins with a story about how the author's lighter-skinned Grandmother was quite a colorist and got into the story. Fascinating read! (less)
