When I first seen Crayola Multicultural Crayons names I had to ponder on it. The "diverse shades" of crayons and markers named after different skin shades didn't seem so bad since we do come in so many different hues. Some gave Crayola A for efforts in diversity while others considered it a fail attempt to ethnic sensitivity.
What are skin tones? What is multicultural? What is having Melanin or being Melanic? Skin tones result in all races. The most versatile of those that have Melanin. Multicultural,. a person with different cultural backgrounds. Think Iranian and Mexican. This is someone who has more than one ethnicity. With culture comes a variety of cultural traits like cooking and food selections, dance and clothing style, way of speaking dialects.
Melanic is someone who has Melanin & displays it. Melanic is someone who is happy with who & what they are despite their skin tones. In fact, they usually display it so effortlessly and unconsciously. Melanic, naturally talented. In dance, so rhythmic, rap/rhythm, artistic visuals, painters, performers, singers, etc. Those Melanic people are the ones who are naturally gifted, no training, classes or teachers needed to evolve their natural born talent. Those in the Hip Hop Community display illuminated gifts of exhibiting their Melanism.
How you exhibit yourself? Tell it!
