I know personally my husband has been asked by other men, "how light I am?" when he mentions his wife is Black. As if my he's a luckier man the lighter I am. I'll be happy when as a community we can learn to praise, love, and appreciate every form of Blackness. Good read. <br /><br />xx,<br />Leslie / @hautemommie / www.thehautemommie.comHautemommiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00347949789041143056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7176953573489905009.post-46334061834576512292017-07-20T11:45:57.956-04:002017-07-20T11:45:57.956-04:00Yes, all so true.

I think it's interesting too to note how darker skin is being celebrated more, particularly on the internet, but the individual has to be of a particular height, body frame, and level of attractiveness. Almost like in order to still be accepted, you have to be drop dead gorgeous.

You could also discuss how the beauty industry benefits from colorism, especially in the Caribbean and Africa ( i.e. Skin bleaching and tanning).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00565754241821519879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7176953573489905009.post-25453143228734200452017-07-02T21:14:54.892-04:002017-07-02T21:14:54.892-04:00What are your thoughts on colorism?
