This is an analogy used to deter the thinking that all things black, particularly African Americans are not bad or negative. Its basically saying that in judging berries, the darker the better. So theyre using the same to quantify a dark person, whereas the general thinking on the subject of color, the closer a person or thing is to jet black, the worse it is. And it all starts with the mentality that "white" is good, and "black is bad".
