Another article called "Caribbean Racial Formations- Caribbean social structure, Caribbean political culture, middle class hegemony" talks about the racial class hierarchical structure inherited from colonialism in the Caribbean with white is light colored representations at the top and the masses of the darker skinned races and ethnicity's at the bottom." (http://encyclopedia.jrank.org/articles/pages/6040/Caribbean-Racial-Formations.html)
I found this statement in the article to be very interesting. I know many people of color that would agree with this statement. Even in my class we have talked about who we believe to have more power. Some people would say whites and others would say they are equally the same.
QUESTION THAT COMES TO MIND:
Who do you believe to be at the top, light colored people or darker skinned people?
