My daughter was bullied for months by her African classmates because she was the lightest in her class. So we won’t shut up. Call it what you want. People are mean all around.

Lai :

I think some light skin women feel that way because we ended up being bullied by darker skin women bc they experienced colorism and bc light skin women were favored so they hated on us. Either way it's furthering division in our community and it has to stop!!

in_daclouds :

Us hating each other for skin tone is ridiculous because who does that sound like……

niyahsoulaan :

it’s giving “the downside of pretty privilege” and that’s not a thing, the same way there is no downside to white privilege.

Leah The Sand Witch :

I've been staying out of it. I STFU. no matter my thoughts.

Kladoll :

I agree it’s not colorism. IT IS prejudice tho. My sister and I are the only light skins in our family and they never let us forget it.

😝💗 Iileiyah 💗😝 :

Look as a light skin who gets pretty dark during the summer. And still has a darker skin tone. I don't have colored eyes. I don't have that pretty loose curly hair. I have locks, and I definitely have experienced colorism and racism and things said about me because of my skin tone So Why is this even a Debate , we are still black and I will never change

V :

some light skin women do go through colorism

THANK YOU. My sentiments exactly.

Shahala⚡️ :

It’s all pain in different hues. Everyone is suffering from the effects of racism. The way racism touches a dark skinned woman affects the way she interacts with light skinned women. Light skinned women feel pain from that and the cycle continues. In 2026, can we learn to hold space for each other frfr?♥️♥️

LaRae McCall :

Me being lighter I’ve never been picked on for my complexion, so idk what they talking either

Autumn🍂 :

we can experience racism not colorism ill always advocate for my darker sisters, yall are appreciated, valued, and very important I love yall ❤️

qfoody_ :

Exactly

Sprinkleofglitz :

It’s usally because sb snapped back on them for being like I’m light you a burnt biscuit xyz

Cayla🤍 :

As a light skin woman i wasn’t teased and bullied because of my skin tone i got teased about other shit

Brina🧚🏽‍♀♊ :

do we suffer from colorism no that's not possible, but do people fck with us because of that, yes that does happen but that is not colorism words mean things

Cooliequeen :

Nah that’s lowkey true because colorism is about lighter people or people in general favoring lighter people…

Chocolate0604 :

Thank you !!

Tashia :

I don’t say a damn thing.

ML15🖤 :

Soooo everything I went through is a joke. Got it.

GINA 🎀 :

It do be happening though. It’s not called colorism but people do pick on light skin people for being light skin same way they do

Key Be Koolin😎 :

Light skin people go through colorism it’s just in a different form

GreenEyeGoddess :

Wait what… how are you going to tell someone what they did or did not personally go through? How do you know what people were picked on for or what they weren’t picked on for?
