Discrimination based on skin colour

Colourism has been the subject of emotive debate on social media this week.
It's discrimination based on skin colour.
And it's the focus of our book review this week.
'Yellowbone' by Ekow Duker takes us to Mthatha and tells the story of Karabo, a young girl born with a lighter complexion, and how her skin tone was both a privilege and a curse. Book reviewer, Phathu Musitha was in studio. Courtesy #DStv403

mmmmmm I wonder where this person got the idea from. The truth is that black women have been ripping off my ideas ever since I came out with dark skin activism in 2015. Rashida Strober is the person that started the entire conversation on colorism and darkism on the internet and I dont appreciate other black women taking credit for something they did not create. Nothing and I mean nothing that is being said here is new. The biggest act of colorism is the intellectual property theft of my work and ideas created out of dark skin activism.

I don't think it's a matter of that other black people taking credit of the topic of colourism. It's just that fact we are just now we are informed and we realised the post colonism mentally we still have and we simply just spreading the knowledge to our fellow brothers and sisters. Just getting the message to all .And she did not at one point said she invented or was the original person who started this topic.

You don’t own the idea either. Make me understand how you “invented” this again?! This has been a debate for centuries!!!!!!

@@hero2653 bullshit!! had it not been for me presenting the very idea NON of you black or dark skin women would have even thought to speak about dark skin....a bunch of ungrateful thieving liars.

@@tinymphikeleli638 There is no excuse for black women and dark skin women blatantly ripping off my original work and concept...none! period.

@@icecreamladydream Excuse you ...colourism existed for hundreds of years due to slavery ...so your not the FIRST or LAST to recognise this type of discrimination . She is just one of MANY PEOPLE that so happen to spend this awareness , which is her was is SIMPLY writing a book about it .

BEE AND AA are both South African discriminatory policies against White's colored Indians Asians and this is a national policy.
So South Africa is essentially based on racism

Thanks to the internet and RUclips the world is now realizing how racist South African policies really are. These policies directly contributed to the fall of South Africa

[@aliciamomat7963]

Racism and colorism are two different things

India is an Asian country. And therefore they're Asians.
