As an asian Japanese/Filipino who grew up Dark Skin like Reddish Brown colour. I've experienced tons of self doubt hate even from my own family they're all light skin the things I have experienced were horrifying to the point that I wanted to commit suicide. My own mother wanted me to use Whitening soap after a long day of exercise outside when I was playing basketball, I got kicked by my brother in the back when we were watching TV cuz he said i'm absorbing all the light that stung me till now I was 10 years old. The things I've experienced in society that only benefits the light skinned people hurts me so much. Even in social media in the Japan if they see someone who is tanned and doing some normal mundane stuff like dancing they'll get laughed at and called ugly... This world needs to change.

​@@tonyadakari8353 Suggesting 'loving who you are' doesn't fully grasp the seriousness of the situation. The individual sharing their experience didn't express self-hatred; rather, they seemed frustrated by the mistreatment associated with having dark skin. It's possible to embrace one's skin tone while also speaking out against the unfairness faced. It's like telling someone who's experienced racism to simply love themselves-it overlooks the deeper issues and fails to address the root problem.

I don't think light-skinned people hate dark-skinned people, I think it's more about being afraid of being dark-skinned. I don’t think people pursue skin color, what everyone pursues is class and recognition.

Why are there no East Asian, North African people on this panel? Some of the most brutal, over abuse of dark skinned people I have witness is in East Asian media. Colorism is not just experienced by decedents of of Africa (and that includes going back 200+ years). Because or European imperialism and the spread of White supremacy through colonization historically, Asian and Latin folks who are dark skinned ALSO experience deep bias toward their skin town and complexion. Skin whitening is considered a normal part of regular skin care ACROSS all of Asia (for instance)

[@garygorham5467]

Colorism might be the most important issue we face. Five of the most successful blacks (President Obama, Beyonce, Mariah Carey, Halle Berry, Alicia Keys) have white people in their bloodline. And many of the people who benefit from colorism don't see it as a problem. There's a black talk radio station (900 am) in Philly. It's rare for them to talk about it. I'm glad we're no longer living in the dark ages when old media was the only game in town. We now have something (internet) that lets us communicate. These actors (Zendaya, Alexandra Shipp, Thandiwe Newton) have spoken about colorism. Whether you agree or disagree with their opinions you should try to get as much info on this topic as possible. For the record I'm a black man. I'm not very dark or very light.

[@yoyo9655]

I am a South Asian woman, and I agree with you. Colorism is a huge issue which is running rampant across the globe it seems. Our media (for example T-series on youtube) is promoting colorism too by only featuring light skinned people... despite India featuring people of many, many deeper shades. We even had a famous skin lightening cream known as "Fair & Lovely" on the market. Countries in East Asia have this same problem. The Philippines, Japan, China, Indonesia, Korea, to name a few all have fair skin as a beauty standard, and will only feature light skinned people in the media... K-pop is constantly ripping off black culture, and then ironically promoting colorist ideals for their idols (for example, BTS) When will this madness end? When will the world realize that being white DOES NOT make you a superhuman? The quite literal and scientific definition of skin colour is the amount of melanin which resides in the skin. A PROTECTIVE MOLECULE, which prevents us from recieving damage from the sun. How does having more or less melanin have anything to do with intelligence, capability, prestige or attractiveness like the mainstream media wants us to think. There is literally no correlation.

[@billieirish4369]

Skin bleaching is a very ancient practice dating back to mostly east Asia. East Asians are already fair skinned but like to be even paler, because of social class (indoor person: rich and pale / outdoor person: poor and tan aka fieldworker). Europeans before the 18th century and in vitctorian era also used skin bleaching products, because it had the same meaning as the Asian reason, but during the industrial revolution everything changed. Poor people started working in factories, stayed pale and developed Rickets (vitamin d deficiency caused disease), so rich white people started going on vacation and sun tan to show off they are rich. I’m Irish so I’m always pale (in the sun I only burn), so there is that.

To be honest out of my whole life i only had two incidences of discrimination by my own people. One i was at a dance and a dark skin boy walked by me and made the sound of "ugh ". I just turned to him and said " i can say the same thing about you " and walked away. The next incident i was in a club and a ligh brown brother just walked up to me and said i normally do not talk to dark skin women but i find you to be a very beautiful dark skin woman. i literally laughed at him. But , he was so mesmerized he gave me his number. I never called him. These two incidents are the only time i faced colorism amonngst my own males. Thereafter , i can honestly say i have dated men of every shade and race. I had female friends who were of various shades and at one time my best friend was of biracial background who was a cream shade who labeled herself as black. I in no way allowed anyone to demean me because of my hershey chocolate skin tone , and if anyone did i would immediately go into a history lesson of how shade was created and a line i would start out with is the white mans Bible of subjection to keep people of African DNA subjected to their false superiority . But , it starts out " from darkness came light". The darker gender is the most feared because of the potentency. Know this. It is a potency that can transform pure white to obsolete. We are seeing it today. Asians are not white , native americans are not white. Hispanics are not white , arabs are not white and of course african dna are not white but they can lose their purity by mixing. But know , that color will wipe out white.

theres a real fact of physics at play here though, that black is literally dark and white is literally light. darkness is literally the absence of light and carries connotations of mystery, danger, the unknown, the unseen, difficulty to trespass or discern or understand... it seems a juvenile and inconsequential point, but I think its quite at the root of fear and unrelateability that exist in this superficial barrier. you can literally see the shadows on lighter skin easier and perhaps have a perception that you can read them better or relate to them, as long as they are expressing, or you might find them less mysterious or less dangerous, appearing to be less adapted to utility in outdoor environments. much like neonatalism can be comforting and attractive, retaining traits of youthfulness or child-like features, assisting in social cohesion and establishing supports. babies benefit from being noticed, thus they are cute and loud, etc. at some level lightening makes sense in all ways to some degree. of course, its negligible most of time-- you arent literally going to lose track of a darker baby... but there willl probably be a tendency which favours recognition and attention toward lightness by physics alone

[@unamedperson9249]

I really want to know how durable whites forcing the second sun. Do whites will be more darker than blacks or die first because burned

[@kla1907]

Have you people got nothing else better to think or talk about These people are obsessed with skin tone. Most of it is all in their head. For the love of God, just get on with your lives, not all of us look at skin colour, let alone how dark or light it is. Contribute to society positively

[@revolution7565]

A lot of people actually will treat you differently(particularly in a bad way.) If you have darker skin. Your skin is probably on the more fair side. So you simply won't understand.

This is like a man getting angry at a woman complaining about her period pain. You can't relate so you dismiss it.

[@Blatgotyahatty]

How does talking about their experiences make them “obsessed with skin tone”. The privilege is insane

[@musics4me]

Unrelated but saying non-blacks is just as rude as saying browns and stuff

Why is it rubbish? Can people not express their concerns to find a solution?

[@haydencp1]

UK been white for hundred of years. Of course people going be angry. With culture shock and the rest. If your born here British that it. Don't matter colour your are. But I don't want TV show about it come on now. All this woke shit driving up the me up the wall. Don't want a white day. Stop In Africa they got rid of all the white farmers. If there was more white people then African native population. Then there should and would be outcry It's OK for people to share there opinions you know. Don't need the troll squad to come up. I am no racist and I have no hate.

[@Unintelligentful]

Just say you’re racist and move on.

[@TheSmily4ever]

@Jeremy Grigson did i accuse you to be racist. u got triggered just because i recommended to you to move on if this content is not in your liking. can you pls point out where in my comment did i say you would be racist? lmao. if u had difficulty to comprehend: if this content is not in your liking then move. maybe u felt triggered and exposed? idk. but like you said. its for people who are unaware about certain social topics that you maybe dont face and struggle with! so if you want to learn about the member in your socitey shut up, educade yourself, listen and then talk! and stop complaining about it. otherwise its looks like a sign of unwillingness to learn about something you are not familiar with. or else move and let people discuss about it in peace without constant complaining. label it as "woke" just because people want to discuss about social topic and raise awarness about that.
