10/14/2007: "Free admission for "light-skinned black women""

A Detroit DJ and promoter is backing down from plans to sponsor a party at a local club that would allow “light skinned” black women into the bash for free, according to a report in The Detroit News.

Promoter Ulysses “DJ Lish” Barnes cancelled the event at Detroit’s Club APT after word of the party spread on the Internet, triggering a flood of angry emails and phone calls from around the country and highlighting tensions that sometimes flare between darker-skinned and lighter-skinned African-Americans.

[ Guess racial tensions are even high within ethnic groups, which you can see in whites any time you have a busy group of office workers talking about rural people. ]
