This is a multipart post; I have several follow up questions that will be posted in the upcoming months-

Does colorism within the black community exist more among men when it comes to “dating preferences”? Do women perpetuate colorism among other women heavily?

Does the issue of light vs. dark perpetuate the idea that lighter skin = better?

Let’s talk about price gouging- do you think price gouging exists within our community? Why is it we spend big money on designer labels and brands, but hesitate to support our own and complain about the price when it comes to supporting black and brown businesses?
