This Megan girl..... it's so sad. Even as a Black woman, you don't understand how colorism works. It's so weird how "light skinned" people in these conversations always have to take it back to some shit that happened on the playground. "they said I wasn't Black enough! Long hair! Wanted to cut it!"

The way she immediately started to almost gloat in her presumed "trauma" was weird to watch. Her tone, attitude about it.....almost came off as bragging in some way?? You can immediately see Monaleo pick up on it as well like girl these things are not the same, but she still tried to handle it carefully...... she was tip toeing too much for me though. Although I do understand how easily people tend to say "oh! Bitter!" When darker women express themselves about this.

"Do you believe in colorism?"

Is it a myth?

Megan has always been ugly and annoying to me

I'm careful about disregarding peoples experiences and how it may have affected them

A lot of people do go back to their childhood to talk about what happened to them but what happens to us as children def sticks with us throughout adulthood, and in many cases it even molds who we are . Therapists often take people back to their childhood to address current issues . So it's not surprising those memories pop up

Maybe some people do make up stories for attention but I just don't feel it's my place to say who's doing that since I don't know. And I don't feel it's my place to tell people how to feel about those experiences if they actually did happen . Or tell them when they should and shouldn't talk about it.

However whoever is actually embellishing or completely making up experiences  - I feel sorry for them if the need for attention is that bad that they'd just make things up . But ultimately that's their problem not mine.

I'll just lend a listening ear and give support if it's someone I am familiar with ...with the assumption that they're not blatantly lying to my face for no reason.

I'm sure she experienced SOMETHING on that see-saw, but it wasn't colorism. Kids will pick out anything to tease another kid about, and I feel this particular teasing was most likely jealously and projection on the darker Black kids part, because even at that age, the world finds ways to let you know you are "inferior" even if it's just based on the skin you're in. That's not discounting her experience, but that's also not colorism.

edit: i was incorrect. light skin women by definition cannot experience colorism.

maybe she's just not articulate enough to describe what she felt or experienced in a way that would make more sense to u . I thinks that's all it is

I can see how her saying "Ive experienced colorism" would raise question marks and a bit of confusion.

I think in this instance you just need to look past technical terminology to see that she's simply saying she felt like an "other" around other black kids because they made it a point to... point out things about her that were different in their eyes.

If that's how she was made to feel I can understand that. The story/concept isn't new or unheard of , or super unique at all so it's not far fetched that she actually went thru it

Well that's just what I'm saying, she needs to find the technical term for that, because she posed a question about something very evident with clear examples of how it works and affects adult people in workspaces and industries. If she doesn't have the range, stick to convos about fighting.

ultimately she's saying had negative experiences based on the color of her skin. One could say that actually falls under the "colorism" or more specifically the "reverse colorism" umbrella so I wouldn't tell her to find another word to use as I can actually understand what she's saying

But I can understand why some people may be confused

[L0NZ.]

She asked a question about colorism as a function, and how it relates to success in the workplace..... then goes on to say she can relate to that, because she was teased for being light skinned with good hair, the very attributes that people who REALLY experience colorism would probably LOVE to have. Get the fuck off my line (Meghan lolz) She absolutely needs to describe that as something else.

[M-Rocka]

Thank God my favorite Bad Girls are unproblematic. MEHgan has always been insufferable and miserable. Used to love her, but nah...

[Hatsumomo]

Meghan is a mess.she's def gloating here. Yuck.

[The Only BLACK Kalmyks]

I just believe in allowing black women of all shades to have and share their experiences

For dark skinned women it's always "girl shut up u just bitter and angry. It's not cuz u was dark it's cuz u were ugly lmao"

For lighter skinned women it's "oh boo boo woe is me light girl 🙄 u were bullied we get it! Want a cookie!"

The way women are treated on opposite ends of the spectrum when they share their experiences actually gives credence to what they're saying happened to them. The whole "shut up darkie burnt ugly self " and "u just wanna remind us that u light skin! We get it! Stfu no one cares about ur alleged trauma "

Think about it

[Buy The Stars✨]

i love mehgan my texas SIS. she is telling her own experience as well nothing wrong with that.
