Yeah, colourism, or 'colour prejudice', as I've always known it is rearing its ugly head in black society nowadays. But either light skinned black or dark skinned black you're equally as black in racial status.  Lighter skinned black/white mixed differ obviously.

Ah, yes- I would have thought you'd be aware then that there are issues within the black community around skin tone?

Lighter skin tones being seen as more desirable than dark ones. Skin lightening products are a massive business - billions of dollars.

You mean the issue of colourism, or 'colour prejudice' that you failed to recognise only last week? As you know, I'm fully aware it. I've harped on about it enough.
