Colorism

Colorism 

Colorism

In the black community 

They got it from 

The slaveowners 

The colonizers 

The white man

It’s been passed down to 

Us….I think it was also 

Written in willie Lynch’s 

Letter….to separate the 

Dark skins from white 

Skins within the black race….

I think it’s wrong,

To divide us 

Only for white folks 

To conquer, then we 

Became colorists ourselves 

Like we have light skins 

In our datin preferences 

Cos it’s closer to 

Whiteness 

I heard brothas 

They dated light skinned 

Girls 

Cos they’re way better than 

Dark skinned girls….

They be like 

They’re too dark 

Like you got your 

Mamas your pops

Your siblings your cousins 

Your grandparents 

Your great grandparents 

First of all 

There’s nothin 

Wrong with dark skin 

I’m sure 

You’re dark skinned 

Yourself 

Ain’t nothin wrong with you…..

Racism gave you 

The idea about 

Yourself which is a lie…

Black ain’t ugly….

Black has hold many colors 

It’s that parent hues….

Whoever told you 

This might have low 

Self esteem 

and jealousy 

Cos that melanin is poppin

Light skin 

Is nothin special 

Cos when racism will 

Always remind you 

You’re black….

Light skin shouldn’t 

Talk shit about the dark skin 

Only it’s way better 

It’s closer to whiteness….

Stop doin that…

We’re both black 

We should respect one another…

We’re not the enemy 

The white supremacy is….

White supremacy 

Created 

Colorism and places in our dna 

In our genes

So we can worship 

Light skins like 

Countless gods….

And we see it all the time…

It’s not just in America 

It’s everywhere…

Colorism gave us 

Bleach 

Actually racism told colorism to 

Handed us 

Bleach to make us lighter 

So we could get more “privileges”

Like jobs 

Romance 

Be like gods 

Yet 

The cream has ruined 

Natural flesh cos 

Someone wanna be 

Someone else….

and it’s sad….

Colorism 

Is an atomic bomb….

Colorism 

is a turmoil….

Why would you wanna be 

Light skin?

Would you wanna be 

Lighter skin?

You can’t be that to 

Whiteness 

You tried it….

It’s truly ridiculous….

The reason why 

You love light skin 

Cos it’s almost white….

Even when you’re white passin

They will remind you 

You’re a nigger….

Sometimes they won’t….

Unless you said somethin…..

Racism 

and 

Colorism 

Has taught 

Black people 

All over the world 

To self hate…..

Do you remember the brown doll

Experiment?

Which doll is a bad doll?

The black one 

Which doll is a good doll?

The white one..

I would like to propaganda 

Has done a lot of damage 

On our people 

Especially on our children..

There are so much colorism

In the black families 

In our melaninated nations…

And I blame it on 

The slaveowners 

On the colonization 

Cos 

We didn’t do it 

To ourselves…

Colorism 

Is an abused 

It’s a slave mentality 

That many black people 

Don’t realize….

Light skin vs. dark skin 

It needs to stop…

Y’all both are gorgeous 

Y’all both need to learn about colorism….
