We have so many issues in our community and colorism is alive and well in 2020! We are the worst to each other and it's sickening! I'm a 70's baby and my parents taught me all black is beautiful however in societies eyes it is not. Being bullied because of skin color is domestic terrorism. I know because I have experience it even as a lighter skinned girl and now as a grown as woman in her 40's. The difference is as an adult you can check a person without being disrespectful and let them know that its offensive and not tolerated to berate anyone on whatever prejudice they have regarding color. My opinion ijs

I’ve experienced colorism since the day I was born, and even from my own damn family. Being a light skinned biracial POC can be very annoying at times. I was born with olive skin (or as my late uncle would say in his southern accent, high yellah (not yellow lol), as well as dirty blond/light brown curly hair. I was always “too ghetto” for the white kids and “too white” for the black kids. I don’t need to fit in any one box, and that’s okay. I created my own damn box designed for ME and ME ONLY.

“Who taught you to hate the texture of your hair? Who taught you to hate the color of your skin…to such extent you bleach, to get like the white man? Who taught you to hate the shape of your nose and the shape of your lips? Who taught you to hate yourself from the top of your head to the soles of your feet? Who taught you to hate your own kind? Who taught you to hate the race that you belong to, so much so that you don’t want to be around each other?” - Malcolm X, during his “Who taught you to hate yourself” presentation in Los Angeles, May 5, 1962.📬 #MALCOLMX #WHOtaughtYOUtoHATEyourself ANSWER THE QUESTION LADIES and stop playing.

@@cityline good show…but one thing I disagree with are light skinned blacks. Light skinned blacks are still mixed..just multigenerational mixed. The first Africans from west African were all very dark skinned. Light skinned comes from biracial people either having children with blacks or other biracial people for generations, . Example, Vanessa Williams dna ancestry test shows she is 44 percent white. Both of her parents are multigenerational mixed race.

As a black man, i have had some black women friendzone me simply because they found me attractive enough to talk to me, but i wasnt dark skin enough for them to be intimate. i kept hearing over and over again, your too light skin, ie im brown not yellow. Anyway i just started focusing on light skin, redbones and high yellow girls because they dont reject me or friendzone me. Go where you are appreciated and celebrated

I think that colorism isn't treated as seriously as "racism", because lighter-skinned Black people are insulated against claims of racial prejudice as a function of being Black.

People are just different. An everybody dont like every body. is colorism based of romantic preferences or something else? if its about centering men or getting men attention. To be honest the women who are thick and shows the most amount skin gets the most attention. Thickism is a real thing. But if your going by FACE alone its not about color of the skin its about how fine she is. WE AS men just focus on being our best self 1. Bald 2. Not 6ft tall 3. Beer Belly 3. No social skills 4. Doesnt have good conversation 5. Lacks Charisma 6. Doesnt know how to dress with style 7. Doesn't wear shoes women love and pay attention too Some things men can change. But other things they can not. Hair they cant change, height they cant change. Also some women discriminate against men on color some women go for darker men leaving lighter hue men struggling. So its kinda hard to see colorism as an issue to just complain about.

.Colorism is just another word for jealousy. If a light skinned woman us getting more attention, dsbw blame it on colorism. If a dsbw is getting more attention and she is beautiful, an unattractive dsbw will blame it on featurism. Tackle it by getting some self esteem and stop letting men validate your looks.

Believe it or not but colorism is not all abt what a man wants. I know you lonely desperate women think that but it’s not. I’m a dark skinned girl who’s been snatching up white guys since my very first bf, what would I have to be jealous of when it comes to dating? And on top of that I’m pretty myself, I’ve never not been told I’m gorgeous. Try again though

this whole discussion is unbalanced. there have always been tv shows with dark women as the lead like back during days of Good Times, the Jeffersons, Family Matters, Living Single (Max), Fresh Prince of bel aire(folks got mad that new aunt viv was the girl in panel four complexion. its like they dont want anything but dark skin women on tv. An its not right, Because every body black aint dark like wesley snipes. My mama was light skin. My brothers are high yellow, my nieces are light skin. its like they ignor the shows with darker skin women on them and focus on only ones with light skin ones. just nagging and complaining about soemthing

If make up doesnt fit your skin color: Dont wear make up, If your really naturally beautiful you dont need foundation on your face. if your not seeing hollywood represnet you, then why not go the way of tyler perry an create your own lane and hire women who fit your ideal.

I'm a dark skinned black man and I've had dark skinned black women literally lay in my bed and tell me they really prefer light skinned men. my mom is dark, my little sister is light and my mom spent my sister's entire childhood berating on her lighter skin I find it funny that every time there's a talk about colorism, dark skin black women are at the table crying a river when in my experience they perpetrate it the most. We're supposed to believe that this is some big issue because it's a Hollywood and marketing thing but then you look around the real world and most dark skin black women (if they are paired off) are paired off with dark skin black men.

Light skin privilege? Where? This conversation is exclusionary and disingenuous. There is no discussion of the effects of colorism or discrimination towards light skin black/mixed people that is totally normalized and ignored. The lack of belonging, the physical intimidation/abuse/deaths, the online bullying, the verbal abuse, the double dose of racism, the double dose of misogyny, etc. that is totally denied and ignored while saying it’s a privilege to get this type of treatment. Do better! Acknowledge the ENTIRE problem!

Light skin people are always feeling insulted when the problem of colorism comes up. Guess they don't want to lose their light skin privilege? I think what really needs to be said, which dark skinned blacks aren't saying is these light skinned people aren't actually black, they're actually mixed race or biracials. But it's a hush hush in the black community... Even the host (who is amazing to bring this topic up and discuss it so honestly) is either mixed race or biracial, clearly not a black woman(Kudos to her for helping in the black cause...).
