As a child I would get told I was “pretty for a darkskin girl” or “Oh you’re as black as ___ and nobody wants you”.darkskins are degraded for something they can’t control and are seen as ugly just because of the color of our SKIN #SPCH145tweets6AW #COLORISM

Today I want everyone in the African American community to take a look at themselves and those around them and see if they have some ingrained colorism within them or surrounding them, I want everyone to see how deep it is in each of us growing up #SPCH145tweets6AW #colorism

This tweet had me in the first half not gon lie, but I love to see people hype of darkskin and brownskin people, women especially seeing as growing up, most of the time we were degraded for how dark our skin was. #SPCH145tweets6AW #darkskingirls

darkskin girls are so weird and goofy like why are you so black? why did your parents set you up like that? where are you from? like bro how old are you? what's your snap? where do you live? what do you like doing for fun? why are you so fine? why can't you be mine?

THIS IS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT.
No matter how light or dark your skin is, or how kinky or loose your curls are WE ARE ALL BLACK. Our struggles at the end of the day are the same so we have to band together. #darkskin #lightskin #SPCH145tweets6AW #colorism

What’s shocking to see is that colorism stems from racism and the Eurocentric beauty standard, we as a people have such an internalized hatred for ourselves that we hate on others in our community to feel better about ourselves #SPCH145tweets6AW #colorism #darkskingirls

It’s so tiring to see black people tear one another down just because someone might be darker than them or have a curlier hair texture. We as a community need to do better than this and remind everyone that all colors are beautiful #colorism #texturism #SPCH145tweets6AW

@TBdontplay PREACH when we say BLM, we mean ALL BLACK LIVES MATTER. BLACK GAY LIVES, BLACK TRANS LIVES etc. etc.

[Georney Miller @GeorneyMiller]

@diobrando7474 @jjmnfrsh Movements like ALM and Blue Live Matter overshadow BLM. And ALM can’t be possible unless BLACK LIVES MATTER

Who feels #colorism is still prevalent in our society? #PValley #PValleyStarz

[Georney Miller @GeorneyMiller]

Why are we letting our family members teach our sons and daughters to hate our skin. Why create this insecurity that’s gonna last lifetime. This will affect how that baby treats other black POC and that is not okay.

Anti-Black Racism is all across this globe in every language.

Lately all I've seen over media is debates over whether light skin or dark skin is better. Why are we as a community fighting to rank one better than the other? This has to led to many insecurities of many black children all over America. #SPCH145tweets6AW
