I Think People Need To Realize That Like, The Darker You Are The More Types Of Oppression You Will Face

I think people need to realize that like, the darker you are the more types of oppression you will face if you are labeled as a non-white group–that’s just how it is. If you are light skinned or white passing, but also a person of color (or black), acknowledging that darker skinned people in your community will be treated worse isn’t taking away from your oppression. We are not saying that you have white privilege or that you don’t face racism or oppression at all. But no matter how you see things or what you think you will ALWAYS be treated better than darker skinned people in your group. Even if it is just a little better, you still will be treated better, will still get better or even representation in general and still be seen as the more acceptable/visible person in that ethnic group. That is how colorism works. It isn’t your fault, but it’s also not your job to ignore that. Colorism isn’t an American centric thing, it exists in EVERY community even those who haven’t had western influence. So that’s just something that needs to be understood. Someone discussing how they face oppression based on being darker skinned isnt taking away from your oppression—

A family can be a genius musician, her irresponsible time-traveling son, a human cannonball, a pizza delivery guy, a ventriloquist and his cranky wife, a fashionista, an artist, a train conductor and her husband who does crossfit, a retired science teacher and his retired supergenius wife, the mafia but with an orchestra of frogs, a sentient robot, the butler, two twins whose relation to you are a mystery, a dog that needs better vision insurance, a T-Rex, a homeless ex-villain, and Tom Selleck
