Blacks might make this claim but what you never hear is about colorism. This is when blacks are racist towards other blacks with lighter skin. This is the worse kind of racism. Colorism is the system of privilege and discrimination based on the degree of lightness in the color of a person’s skin…it’s an internalized form of racism which involves prejudice, stereotyping, and perceptions of beauty among members of the same racial group, whereby light skin is more highly valued than dark skin.
People wonder how an already marginalized group can divide themselves
and perpetuate racial contempt and oppression against their own people
when they know how crippling discrimination and disadvantages based on
race, class, gender, skin color, or even hair texture are.
So when blacks make this claim, we can and should bring up colorism.
Agree?
