  1. I think the guy in the orange shirt is more heavily influenced by social media and takes that as the norm. If he did some research he would see most of what HE thinks little black girls are influenced by is not the case BUT AND ALSO even people who are scientists, mathematicians, etc listen to sexy redd sometimes so chill out.

  2. The lady on the “light skin” side with the grey shirt and the lady on the “darkskin” with the white shirt and locs both are my cup of tea when it comes to this conversation.

  3. Is it not wrong to identify as how you look? Regardless of race are we not above all human and as humans have problems that need to be addressed.
    From my point of view ego is the sense of self and many people have egos that seem to be their flesh or the idea of who they think they are in their head.

  4. Why does orange shirt talk as if lightskin ppl are damn near white, like… “dnt forget the history of what happened to your darker brothers and sisters” is so general and makes our history sound separate. Maybe im reaching but thats how i felt hearing it.

  5. Orange shirt is quite the contrarian; "I didn't know that Colorism was stemming mainly from our own communities" –> "Before I came here I had a very different thought of what the light skins would be like but you guys are actually so grounded!"

    Despite Colorism definitionally entailing a certain kind of one directional prejudice and this thereby not fitting under that phrase, the kind of prejudice that naturally bleeds from his wording/ideologies coupled with his argumentative & dismissive persona over the course of this discussion was insufferable. Brother, I know that you'll be reading these comments on account of your stated assurance in yourself and who you are – I hope that it is the case that you gain perspective on some of these harmful presuppositions that you hold, may that be your notion of the sun being made for black people as if it isn't one out of trillions of stars in our solar system most of which predate the existence of life on this planet or even your belief of attempting to hand our current problems to the next generation being an unfruitful venture. I couldn't believe you argued against that point… of course it is easier said than done, changing ANYTHING socio-economically is however it is in fact the case like the other brother said that if we do not strive towards that improvement the current statistics that you mentioned will not be moved at all.

    Would you rather stagnate due to a defeatist state of mind or truly feel as if we've tried our all even if it doesn't work out? Do you believe that we'd be here today without the mass of leaders that have come before us? Rhetorically, what do you think they've entrusted us with.

  6. 30:12 I understand when the freedom part for black women but the same could be said for all women. Not just black women. Like they’re was a time where women didn’t have freedom so I don’t agree with the idea that black women like to show their a$$ on the internet because they were oppressed…I think that’s an excuse

  7. Glad you brought up texturism!! People in the curly hair community act like preventing frizz by training your wet hair means you don't have "real curls",,, so ridiculous. If I don't have curly hair, then the only other option is frizzy hair and that's not socially acceptable 🤷🏾‍♀️

  8. This is a weird topic… why even put the burden on your child with colorism, wait until the child comes home and ask the questions instead of “preparing” them…

  9. Im also guilty of saying " we're all Black anyways, so what?" …i had a dark skinned homie talk to me abt his experiences with colorism, and it was eye opening because being lighter skinned , you dont really feel the effect although youre aware colorism exists…

  10. Orange shirt annoyed me throughout the whole video. In 40:56 when the guy was talking about his experience of being stopped by the police and almost put into cuffs, orange shirt literally interrupted him to say “well you were almost put in cuffs but I WAS put in cuffs. It’s like every time someone was comfortable to share an experience, the guy in the video needed to counter it with a weird compliment or make it like an oppression race where “this almost happened to you but it did to me”.

  11. I'm light brown skinned and I now only say black , I don't say brown. First to stop division and mostly because yes colorism is real and more often than not it comes from someone darker than me who have their own projections and insecurities and assumptions towards me. The best assumption is that I have it easier and I can't reply because it's already then a waste of time but I do remind ppl that we're all placing importance on insignificant things that we have already evolved from…. Hopefully.

  12. Do people understand that companies wanting shorter hair happens to all races. Me having long hair every job I've had told me to cut it. One woman said it took years to grow the locks and it's not fair, yea my long hair took years to grow, but the rules are the rules no matter how unfair I believe they are. You are representing a business and that business wants their employees to look more clean cut. This is only a race thing when it is seen as a race thing through your own perception. If you were hired and you couldn't be a victim by being rejected, you have to search where else you can be a victim so it goes to me me me. Not everything is about you, and is just a policy. Policies like hair in workplace are not racially there. They were probably put in place because of white hippies and looking unprofessional. Stop with the victim mentality.

  13. Lets be real, Colorism usually happens within their own community and then is put off onto the white community. The realization is… whether you're hispanic, indian, black or other ethnicity. the majority of it is within. A lot of it is learned through their parents and Social media and then it is projected on others. Social media is not the real world, get out and talk to people. If you're seeing things through a certain lens, you will see things negatively than what is intended. That is a horrible way to live. A girl I was dating was always assuming the worst from people. The woman in the white shirt was the worst in this, it was learned from her parent and now every experience she has is seen through that negative lens. Everyone talks about their lived experience, don't discount it, Buttttttttttt sometimes those lived experiences are seen through a learned negative lens. Colorism and Racism wasn't as rampant as it is now 10-20 years ago, it's only growing and breeding hatred and division through social media and hollywood.
