[@JMac7395]

Per usual Octavia Spencer knocked it out the park with her performance. Blair Underwood showed us he could still get it😏. However, I greatly disliked how the film used colorism as the dividing & driving point for the fued between Walker & Malone. #1 Malone willing hired Walker as a sales rep for her company. Malone taught Walker about her products & how to sale them. #2 Malone was entering millionaire status when Walker joined her company. #3 After a short time working at Malone's company Walker disappeared & popped up in a neighboring state selling hair care products similar to Malone's. That is the real fued between Malone & Walker. It had nothing to do with colorism or competition. Unfortunately, modern-day historians love to dismiss the idea that Walker stole from Malone. Or historians will call it a misconception that Walker stole from Malone because Black women were apparently using the same ingredients for their personal hair care routines. Whatever the case Malone thought Walker stole her products because she began focusing on copyright & trademarking her products after Walker left the company

Your question is really stupid‼️

[@markita.hardenhome]

Slavery. The closer one was to whiteness..... the better the treatment and tolerance by whites. Not to mention.....mulatto blacks were the product of slave masters raping black slave women that they owned. So not only were these mulattos lighter... but often they were the offspring of the slave masters themselves (children and grandchildren etc)....all resulting in their much better treatment. The offspring were STILL treated as slaves but often transfered to "in-house" work rather than "field" work. In house work...away from the harsh sun was easier. And because they were in close proximity to whites... they were put in better clothes as well. So.... this perception begins that lighter skin gets you better treatment. It's used to create a divide between the slaves. Because mulattos were seen as racially ambiguous......exotic and beautiful... the women were often gifted to other men as "concubines".....so when the mulattos themselves were raped and had offspring... their kids were even more fair......fair enough to pass as white and escape slavery. And many did escape slavery by passing. However the divide just grew deeper.... especially with Jim Crow. The blacker you were, the the uglier and more violent your treatment. The lighter you were... the better the treatment. This is most pronounced among the women. Because today.....among men of MOST races.... the lighter women of the race are most desired. The perceived color of beauty, higher class, wealth and purity is WHITE...... the color of the colonizer. Subconciously it's REALLY the color of safety. To be black was to be a slave. To be white was to be safe from slavery. To be black was to be a target for violence to be white was to be free from violence. To be black was to receive unfair treatment. To be white provided preferential treatment. The divide among blacks relative to color was created by white people through slavery, segregation and Jim Crow where better treatment could be had the closer the person was to whiteness.

@@KompassOhneNadelExcuse me- watch your mouth insulting people that’s number one. Number 2? You’re the one who got it wrong trying to make it a feminist issue with your man vs woman crap. But it’s about colorism. You’re the one who needs better comprehension skills- *nobody tf else.*

[@skip031890]

What stupid comments from both of you lmao

[@alittlebirbie]

@@KompassOhneNadel how do you talk about reading comprehension but see my comment disproving yours about the women in the movie being victims of the patriarchy and think i said you didnt think the movie was about colorism🧍🏾‍♀️ i said it had nothing to do with men this time but inherent bias in the community they're are in💀. Context is also important because if you take my comment and yours into consideration you would know i was referring to your statment so this is you being ignorant on purpose. Im sure you learned reading comprehension as well. you decide to be snide instead of taking your own advice lmfao.

[@danabananaz]

This movie is amazing

People always have treated people like crap. Only those that strive in spite of it succeed.

“Self Made” is a must-see for all women: mothers, grandmothers, daughters, and grandchildren.

[@UniqueBlack-lm4jg]

This scene is depicting Colorism a form of racism another anti black practice this is still done today

[@skip031890]

Darker skinned blacks are the ones who degrade lighter skinned blacks, but you'll never say that's "anti black". 🙄

Even if her boss at the time was nice to her the situation would have still been horrible. Imagine if she'd just told her nicely she didn't want her to sell her products. She's still the one in power because she's whiter, nice or not. Society gives her more power for unfair reasons.

[@inkheart151]

At least she brought the money back! She could have taken a few coins for herself.

I loved this movie. It was inspiring. I cried my eyes out. I hate how much suffering there is in the world.

[@hannahmontana5886]

Good arrangement wouldve been a millionaire not laundry 😂😂😂 Madame Walker bulit a factory she was a hustler took it to the highest level. She said she just wanted to show you. She didn't listen wanted to be better than her sad.😢

[@annabelleleigh-]

NO! I didn't steal from you. I did what you couldn't. I MADE MONEY FOR YOU

[@user-vm5ud4xw6n]

Jeez she’s pretty mean to her. “Stick to being my laundry lady! “ nice woman. Sounds to me like she’s worried someone might outdo her selling!

What show

[@nicofelie]

To be fair if I invented a product and someone I repeatedly told not to advertise my product still did so without my consent - and did it after taking it without even asking. I’d be verrryyy pissed lol

[@whaleryder64]

And you are correct 💯. Despite Sarah's Best Intentions, she did..... Overstep Her Boundaries of Concern 😌. It's called, Bat 🏏 In Your Crease aka Wicket 🤗.

[@sumbalriaz5124]

In normal life, this should be your hint to let them be. If someone spoke to me like that, it means they're too messed up to receive my help. You can't help such people in any way, so keep away before the negativity rubs off on you
