You’re right in that it is racism as well, and rooted in it. Though it is different in kind, and anyone who hasn’t experienced it personally should be careful not to redefine it out of existence. So just like all robbery is theft, being robbed is an instance of theft that can feel very different from other kinds of theft.
Colorism, […] “prejudicial or preferential treatment of same-race people based solely on their color.” It is not racism although there is a clear relationship.
I think it’s best if you stop trying hide behind coded words and bending things to fit your narrative. Racism is racism as much as you want to try and think otherwise. I thought people wanted to get AWAY from fascism with reddit. it’s alive and well here on lemmy too.
So you are so bereft of any real knowledge on the subject matter at hand that you just assume colorism is some kind of dogwhistle for white supremacism?
assume colorism is some kind of dogwhistle for white supremacism
you’re putting words in my mouth. you’re the one assuming. colorism is a thinly veiled word for racism. no idea where you came up with the white supremacy thing.
the word you’re looking for is racism.

Actually I’ll just let Alice Walker do the talking:
I think it’s best if you stop right there and not say anything else, okay?

Again… perhaps it’s best if you stop right there.

Again… you don’t seem to understand the subject matter, Clyde. There is only one kind of racism - it’s white supremacism.
You do understand what race is, don’t you? You know - that thing that didn’t exist until white supremacists invented it?
