Episode 6. Colorism Within the Black Community

The IIV League

This episode is a special one. Not only for the topic at hand but also because it is our first time having a guest. Get a moment to listen about who Greo is and exactly how she is using her artistic gifts. She also contributes heavily to the conversation as we talk about how colorism is so effective in the black community. We discuss why it is so prevalent in the black community and its origins (3:30)? We also take some time to ask if we believe black men face colorism in the same way that black women do (25:00)? We didn’t just stop there! We dissect how darker/lighter skinned men/women interact with people who have their same features or different features (37:00)? We could not bring this topic up without discussing Chris Brown’s most recent controversial lyrics (54:00).
