How bad are light-skin versus Dark skin tensions among Blacks in the Black American community?

Both Blacks seemed to be unified pre-1960 in their contempt for whites, but now it seem like Light-skin Blacks have not only acclimated to White society, but sometimes even go out of their way to demean and belittle their darker counter-parts. Sort of like the caste system in India. I’m in Canada, so i was wondering

Its not so bad, but there is still some tension. Many darker blacks still want to be lighter and use skin lightening cream or pills, like Rihanna. Im not completely black but i identify with my black side and growing up they use to tease me and give me hell about being “white”. funny thing was i wasnt even white, my dad is a light haitian and my mom is brazilian and syrian.

After ppl grow up its not a big deal and no one even mentions it much now that we are in college. But all you need to do is watch TV and see which blacks get the most Airtime. (Hint: The ones who look like their ancestors got raped the most)
