Colors

I know in some cultures color means wealth, since those who have the
money can afford, and if that culture is one racial group, white vs
black, then color is a way to differenciate between races?

I know in some groups, light black and dark black are also seperated by
some, many in the black community. Some have said it is due to the
supposed fact that light blacks have intermarried to be lighter cause it
is more economically helpful, also easier to pass. I know my Grandfather
was supposedly Native-American in part, but he passed..
