Colorism
the discrimination of african americans by skin tone in their own community, usually subconsciously done, as most blacks dont realize they’re doing it until some dumb rapper or famous person makes a stupid untrue statement about darker toned women.
perpetuated during slavery and by the media which seems to suggest lighter skin females to be of a higher stance than darker ones.
perpetuated by rappers who often show more lighter skinned women in videos and hardly any darker ones.
perpetuated by some black men who treat lighter skinned females in a higher regard than darker toned ones.
an untrue inplication that darker skin girls cannot be as fine as lighter ones. bullsh-t.
example of statements made for colorism
1.(rapper) “she gotta be a thick lightskinned redbone…long hair…”
2. “dang you cute… for a dark skinned girl.”
3. “lightskinned girls just way finer! i dont want no dark girl!”
racism within members of the same race. for instance, light-skinned african americans looking down on and discriminating against darker-skinned african americans.
colorism is just as harmful as racism perpetrated by whites on blacks.
the liking of just about anything that’s in your favorite color. // judging everything by its color.
girl 1: “oh my gosh! that dirty old fork in that landfill is purple!…it’s so cute! i want one!!”
girl 2: “wow.. colorism, much?”
