Here’s the thing you’re light skinned and so is she. All instances of anti blackness are inherently rooted in colourism and that’s a basic fact. All of the anti blackness she was perpetuating targeted dark skinned black people so at the end of the day we, not you, are the victims https://twitter.com/indiewashere/status/1263956159024771077
I do not give a damn about this sob story about growing up around white people because the pain light skinned people feel is felt ten fold by dark skinned ppl. It doesn’t need to be explained or explored cuz y’all use it constantly to explain why YOU felt disconnected
And why YOU colourist and why YOU have issues connecting. And it’s never examined on a level that takes the people at the bottom into account. Because to y’all it’s just a get out of jail free card
