The Color Line; An Issue Across the Ages

Originally coined by Frederick Douglass and then mentioned by Dr. W.E.B DuBois in his book, The Souls of Black Folks, the color line as is referenced in DuBois work is the problem of the twentieth century.  Unfortunately, the color line is still a problem in the twenty-first century and gives power to many other forms of racism and degradation of which it empowers (equitable resources, wealth opportunities, voting rights, and etc).  As the fight for justice and equality continues, the assumption very well could be that demolishing the levers of inequality will more than likely truly weaken and erase the color line issue.
