Claudia, we love you; However, as a multicultural gal, and likely sometimes benefiting from being a “lighter shade of brown” it’s important to take a moment and be very objective. It’s vital to not use the negativity you may have received on the opposite side of your experiences to minimize the reality that is colorism. “What’s good for the goose is good for the gander” Gizelle and Robyn must be called out just as someone else would be. If they were Ellen and Kelly Osborne they would be called to the carpet. . . Colorism is a branch adjacent to racism on a tree of hate. In fact colorism is racism defined. Ethnicity is specific to culture, nationality, ancestry and language. Race is defined as physical characteristics that include SKIN color. If colorism was NOT a thing then explain why “passing” is such a thing of yesteryear and even today. Let’s not be daft!

These women are at the very least colorists. It does not matter how long the beard has been a joke. They need to apologize. It was unacceptable and tacky. They need to be held accountable. I am not against firing because some people have to learn the hard way. Yes, Funky, the beard is trash and is only tolerated because of the money behind it but this is no different than when Giuliana Rancic made that crack about Zendaya's hair. There have to be consequences suffered by the offenders.

[@terragurley9563]

We as people of color have to be accountable for what we say when it comes to race. We want respect as a race from other races but we degrade our own race by comments made amongst our own race. The standard has to be the same. There is a level of elevation placed on our lives by our ancestors and we as as race our chipping away at that by the level of degradation and lack of respect we show each other by not liking people cause they are light skinned or dark skinned. Beauty comes in all shades and colors.

[@tajmahalbybrii]

It's never ok to make reference of this sort...it's inexcusable, unacceptable and is bullying and from these ladies...😳🥺

[@jackiegillyard758]

Colorism in the black community is long standing. Grandmother's used the color bag theory. If you don't know what it is look it up. "Light" skinned black women have always been considered the "prize" among black men. They should have never said it, it was just disrespectful.

[@reespace]

It wasnt grandmothers. It was all black people of a certain class. Especially males.

[@mellymelle76]

Colorism tends to be reversed in the black community with dark skin being seen as a masculine trait and typically works in favor of dark skin straight black men, while light skin is typically seen as a feminine trait which works against dark skin females or feminine gay and trans people.

[@sdmac1339]

[@kamyfernandes1]

Your comment is spot on. Plus, Gizelle and Robyn stated that "there's weed" on that man's beard. If a white person / someone from a different race had made such statements. They would have been cancelled. Gizelle and Robyn could get this man fired by making such allegations. Talking like they know this man. Perpetuating all these stereotypes against black people.

[@nakuro2686]

All you had to do was read the chat during this live, colorism is deep deep deep in our community. Giz and Rob have always been colorist mean girls on the show from season 1. The ONLY show I've seen where it isn't an issue is RHOA. These 2 are black women regardless of their percentage of not..when you understand race and the system it controls, saying these women are not black is dumb and what they said is dumb. We got to do better because we talk about white people all day and sound just like white supremacists when we do this b.s to each other.

[@NeeNee_B.]

When you understand race is a just as much a social construct as it is a biological one, you'll understand that not every dark skinned human is automatically Blk. And not every skinfolk is kinfolk. We need to be able to pick and choose our tribe like everyone else. We allow everyone else to tell us who is and isnt Blk, while everyone else is doing everything in their power to distance themselves from Blackness whilst simultaneously continuing to benefit from it. Bottom line: if they dont wanna be Blk and get on code, they're put out the tribe. Period point blank. Blk ppl are getting on code more and more these days, and arent with the shits, straight up 🤷🏿‍♀️
