"A 100% black university would not admit dark skin students if they were not athletes" Mathew Knowles (Beyonce's father) speaks on the "brown paper bag" test used by colorists (and racists) to determine admission #colorism #colorismday #colorismawareness ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽

Today is #Colorism Awareness Day! We ask ourselves "What could I do to prevent my daughter/sister from spewing harmful colorist assertions? How can I augment her perspective?"

It is time for the "uncomfortable" conversation to start! Time for progress #colorismawareness 👊🏾👊🏿👊🏽

Today is colorism Awareness Day! We ask ourselves how much longer will we support entertainers who bully & put down dark skin girls? #Colorism in our own race has even lead to dark skin girls being sentenced to harsher prison time by the same racially charged system we "hate"

Today is #colorismawareness day! You can show your support by tweeting about your favorite dark skin female influencer! #colorism can be prevented in part by speaking up when you hear discrimination based on skin tone!

Today is colorism awareness day! #Colorism is prejudice or discrimination against individuals with a dark skin tone, typically among people of the same ethnic or racial group. Black girls are constantly bullied because of their skin tone! Have the discussion today!

Next months #colorism Awareness Day will be focused in part on reaching out to directors, casting agents, and media service production companies, to change the tolerated stereotype of the angry/unworthy dark skin female in film. Thank you for your participation in #colorismday✊🏿

Even going outside dressed "comfortable" is a privilege society doesn't tolerate for dark skin women. They are seen as dirty or homeless for wearing the same style of messy bun and sweats that other skin tones get away with wearing #colorism #colorismawareness #colorismday✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽
