I see this happening all the time, even though I shouldn't have too, I just didn't know that this had the name "colorism." I see this everywhere, online, at school even at the super market. As sad as it is to say this, but I don't find this surprising at all.

I've never heard the 'colorism' before, but I did know about this issue. It does surprise me how prevalent colorism is today.  You would think that skin tone differences wouldn't matter in such modern times, but they still do and it's concerning.

I already knew of this colorism stuff, but something that didn't click in my mind was that the subject of colorism being the idea of an angry black woman. I didn't realize that colorism was what was in my face. You do usually see that the lighter-skinned tone people are view as the "prettiest" on social media, and that the dark-skinned ones are not seen as the more appealing.

Being that I am of darker skin tone I do see and understand the differences in which they brought up. I do experience these differences on a daily. I didn't know that colorism was the actual term for it, but it is true. In society you do tend to see more, lighter skinned people showing facial features with more selfies opposed to darker skinned who feel as if they have to show their body off to get attention. It's a messed up sort of deal and i do feel as if its very detrimental, to the mind body and soul. Another thing I did like the picture at the bottom, where it had the crossing out of light skinned and dark skinned but had melanin at the bottom not crossed out. The whole idea behind it, is the fact that our generation idealizes "light skins" because that's what put before us. You look on TV and you see "light skinned" people, magazines and all. Black people are divided themselves, and its pitiful.

it surprised me that this is even a thing that so many people condone and think is fine, even in a black community you can still be put down just for having darker skin, you would think people would learn.

One thing I found shocking was the fact that some of the light-skinned African Americans were treated the same as whites, and they passed as whites. Overall, I have seen and heard many things that the article mentioned, some were just shocking though.

Colorism is more prevalent in the black community due to the different skin types. Light Skin people are seen as prettier or better in the eyes of some. Lighter skin women take close up photos, meanwhile dark skin people are more sexualized in media. Being that I am a light skin female, people do judge me for my skintone. I do have social media and this article really did mention what does happen in society. If your a darker tone your ugly, but if your lighter then your beautiful and I do not think that is the case at all.

I learned that colorism is the manner of how people like/prefer lighter skinned individuals more than darker skinned individuals.
This is not new to me, I had just not known what the term for it was. There have been various times when people, such as my brother, point out how on TV shows, the lighter skinned person is the protagonist while the darker skinned person is the antagonist. This is not merely confined to caucasians and African-Americans, it happens in the hispanic community and broadcasting as well

I knew this was going on it. I didn't know it was called colorism. It surprised me that she supported her argument for equal treatment by making fun of light skinned people.

I wasn't surprised about what i read in this article. I've known about this issue and how lighter skinned people get treated better especially in times of slavery and working on plantations.

For the most part, I knew a lot of what the articles talked about. In today's society, while it may not always be used in a bad way, people still will look and treat you differently based on how dark your skin tone is.

If you had lighter skin it seemed that you were looked at like a treasure to plantation owners. They did all they could to protect the skin of light skinned people. Having them work inside and even giving them special advantages like learning how to read and eventually possibly being set free while dark skinned people were there to work outside because it wasn't a bother if their skin got darker.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that lighter skinned woman have more close up pictures of their face to show off their beauty while darker skinned women are shown to be more sexy and they show their beauty that way because they are darker

# data[].attributes.body
I learned about colorism in general. How it's still being used and how people view themselves based off of this ideology. It doesn't surprise me.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that dark-skinned African Americans were viewed in a more sexual way in the media in order to make them more appealing whereas light-skinned African Americans were viewed as less provocative. The media uses sexualizing them as a way to make them seem more appealing.

If you were a light skinned person of color you were treated different than darker skin toned people. Light skinned people were seen less "savage" or "fiendish" . I was surprised after reading

Before reading I never heard the term colorism in society. After reading, I learned that those who are a lighter skin tone are seen as beautiful, and pretty by some people.

# data[].attributes.body
before reading this i had never heard of colorism. I was very surprised to learn that it was most often used in communities of people of color. and that it has been happening since the days of slavery.

# data[].attributes.body
For the most part society only looks at light skin people as beauty but when it comes to dark skins they look at them as though they are ugly and so they turned to sexualizing them in order to make them more appealing to others.

I didn't really realise that colorism was a thing. I thought that no matter what your skin tone is your still unique and beautiful in your own way.

# data[].attributes.body
I was not surprised about what I read. I know that this is an issue that needs to be ended. The biggest thing that stood out to me was how differently light skinned and dark skinned women are treated.

# data[].attributes.body
While i had heard some jokes and such about skin tone i did not realize colorism was a thing. To be discriminated against within your own community must be tough to say the least. I really hope that as people we will just move on and try to judge off character not appearance.
