A man recalls his grandmother rejecting his dark-skinned sister at age eleven, saying "that's not my grandbaby" because she didn't match the lighter-skinned relatives. His co-host calls out the Black community for perpetuating colorism and says we have to do better.
My father, he is a very yellow man. He's light-skinned. And a lot of his children, there's like half of us, so 4 of us are dark-skinned, my complexion, and then 4 of them are light-skinned, like his complexion. And so the first one that I heard that there was doubt about was my little sister. She's the same complexion as me. I was about 11 when I heard my grandma saying, "That's not my grandbaby." You know, she don't look like me, she too dark-skinned. I felt like if I was maybe high yellow or his complexion, I probably would be more accepted.
Come on, Black folks, we gotta do better than that with this. It's a narrative I'm just so tired of, right?
Absolutely.
