They can show their support to black people by buying from black people. We already been buying from them and they never returned that favor. We done supporting everyone and their business.
BOTH!! To get accepted by society and job opportunities. Many jobs I worked at had NO people of color at ALL!! I only got opportunities because of White people who needed A BLACK FACE to cover up the truck of inequality by hiring someone of Color. But it was a Nightmare to work under those conditions!!
As an Indian who was trafficked as a child I always embraced my darker skin and found a kindred unity in black people. It still feels like black people are the only group that understands my story. Plus my dna test shows that being from Sri Lanka my origins come from Sudan with hints of Ethiopian
@@cecegiles4583 I wish I could answer that. I was adopted to white people through international mission of hope and despite my yt families attempts to keep me connected with my community I was rejected by the Indian community from a young age. I have lived with a sense of no identity or community my whole life that’s why when I say how I was cut from my roots, the black community embraced me due to those similarities
@Corporal Chill Mood Vibez they are the only group I really relate to. I’m attracted to black women and honestly never had a desire to date white or European. Black folks are the only group I didn’t have to qualify my existence with
Massive thank you, Phil, for giving me the opportunity share my message. I truly believe that if we have more solidarity between our two communities, fighting WS will become much easier. It’s a shame I see anti-blackness in the SA community and am determined to fight this too no matter what it takes. Thank you again 🙏🏾
Thank you so much for receiving my story with kindness. I just want to see change and believe everyone is beautiful exactly the way they are. It took a long time to realise this, but now that I have, nothing is stopping me from sharing my message and from encouraging solidarity between the two communities 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
As a Desi (South Asian) I have to say that everything you said is true regarding colorism. We have been mentally colonized and have yet to shake off the shackles of colonialism. We would not have been allowed in the United States in mass numbers if it wasn't for the Civil Rights Movement. We owe a lot to Black America for what they have done in helping our community, and have forgotten that we are indebted to them for paving the way for our freedom. The same can be said in other parts of the world where Blacks and Indians have inhabited the land together.
I really like your statement, because so many people of color who migrate here never really give respect to the Black American for the works that they have done in the past who had opened the door to us ,thank you for your Honest comment
I always say that me, as a South Asian Punjabi woman, stand on the shoulders of my black sisters and brothers and forefathers who fought for my rights and freedoms in the US. Forever grateful.
I will never bleach my skin. I was raised in the 60s. Where it was very difficult being special dark chocolate. My mom always told me to respond. The blacker the berry the sweeter the juice. That I'm extremely beautiful despite what others say. She taught us that people were envious of my complexion. I use to watch my mom lay out in the sun with coco butter. James Brown said it best at that time. Say it loud, "I'm BLACK and I'm PROUD! Thank you mom
The Blacker the Berry. My mother was a dark woman, my brother is also very dark skinned. Needless to say I’ve always been fond of dark skin people and the darker the berry😍--- LaTaisha Nicole
: Th@ was more of a 70s thing- light skin promotion, especially in Blaxploitation films/TV. The 60s era was STRONGLY "BLACK & PROUD", "Afrikan Motherland"- Blackness, natural hair, etc. * My mother was Dark Chocolate, and my father was "High Yellow" (Louisiana) Creole. * There were many, many marriages/couples like this * Colorism goes both ways. Let us NOT just focus on division. Black Love on mine, ALL DAY EVERY DAY !!! ✊ B1 ♥️🖤💚
I am a proud Jamaican a black man, I see this in Jamaica as well women and men bleaching the skin to look like their oppressors, this was a great interview, thank you Uncle Phil
@@rgegrsegerghyuj4994 this obsession for the color of skin it's mental illness, white or brown color can die and get old and rotten like any human being, color it's just rubbish
Totally agree. We all as humans are seen the same by God. It’s evil why we choose to receive and reject people by the way we look bc as a human race it keeps us all divided
Restless Commentator FACTS. Many, many blk folk are making progress and moving forward and overcoming obstacles by ignoring it when tested and keeping moving forward. Lol.
the moors colonized spain and portual for 700 years from the 7th century until the spaniards reconquered and kicked out the moors, jews and arabs in 1492.
because we are the chosen ones, original hebrews(Hues/Jews), the people of the book (as the muslims refer to us). Yehoshua (Jesus) hurt nobody. but warned us in the Bible by saying "The world hated me, they will hate you too"
As a Black educator, in the American Public School System, I have actually come in contact with Indian teens that stated they wished they were lighter or even white in skin tone. It is truly a sad sight to see...On the other hand, I have also encountered racism from the Indian community because of the color of my skin. But the ironic part is that they were either the same color as me or darker.
I have encountered Racism from my South Indian friend’s mother, she never liked me because, I am “Black”when I asked my friend why, she said, her mother doesn’t want to be reminded of her past, of how she was treated badly in India; or to be associated with, anyone who is Black. Her Classism, Colorism and Racism, can never leave her, and her “isms” contributed to her hatred toward anyone who is of dark complexion. Is that ignorance, superficial social values or opportunist practices ?
I live in an apartment in Austin where a few indian people lived and when I went upstairs in the lounge room to go study a random Indian guy came up to me and was asking me if I lived here and checking if I get emails from the apartment news just to see if I really lived here. As a black man I just want to be left alone in peace. I'm going to build a house and get my own land in africa and take my girlfriend and start a family there because I want peace and my kids to enjoy life.
We've always known this in Jamaica but, that didn't stop us from getting together and work together. There simply isn't any time to waste on racism. Time will not wait around for us to change something we are not qualified nor created.
Back in 1994 I met an East Indian man, a physical therapist. I asked him about racism in India. He said that there is no racism there. There is a cast system. I told him that that cast system is based on skin color. He denied that. I told him that that is the evil shameful truth worldwide wherever the colonizer/oppressors have invaded people who look like him and me. He was lighter than me, but still brown. I was older than he. I told him that at a point in his life he will realize that truth.
My family is Indian subcontinental (but they moved to the west in the 1970. People in the subcontinent have bigotry but it’s not based on race. Bigotry there is based on religion, caste (which is based on jobs and social class), wealth, language.
The doctor was under the mindset that you was a dumb black American as most I them believe what the Caucasian Americans say about us, until they witness white women going crazy over black men, and they witness black men and women in the most unassuming areas of high social status sometimes and it infuriates the East Indian, given that they have invested into Verna and that corrosive, gutter religion called Hinduism!
Ace ortiz..Ofcourse and the darker skin is protected by the sun. We age slower, stay looking younger longer, skin don't burn while in the sun, less cases of skin cancer and it glows. I just love color and no one will EVER convince me otherwise.
She's so right! Racism & anti Blackness is deeply engrained in the Indian community & has simply been exported to the diaspora. This is treated hush hush & publicly denied. I was shocked to learn that dating or marrying an African is taboo in Indian communities in South Africa & normally leads to being disowned. This happened to a South African friend who was forced to move to another region of the country.
@charlesdorsey that must the majority then because most Indians are dark complexions. There's also lots of poverty in India, tremendous abuse against women, dark religions, ignorance leading to arrogance at it's worse .... Take a look at yourselves India 🤔
I can tell you, she’s right! I had an Indian friend. I had a beautiful baby girl, and my friend said, “if my baby was light skinned “, she would be sooo beautiful! I told her she was beautiful now.
That is an awful thing to say! And they say blacks are rude. People are other countries are much more forward and rude with their comments. not all but some.
I think this was Phil's best conversation / interview of all time. He asked very thoughtful, smart questions, kept the proper focus on the origin of the colorism, which was the colonization of India, and he showed great compassion and empathy towards his guest Shweta. She's got a lot of healing to do, but I applaud the fact that she is attempting to end the generational curse on her family of this unfortunate belief system of fairer being more favorable, intelligent, beautiful, etc. Thanks for creating a very important piece of content. I pray this discussion heals a lot of people around the world.
THIS IS SO TRUE! Anti-black anything is unacceptable especially after we’ve been so good to you and helped develop you as a human being. We’re not excepting this in 2023, so all those who want to be anti-black yet steal profit from black can kick rocks.
Black People in America are still anti black in many ways, we mask it better because of our levels of education and affluency. Lets look at what billions are spent on in OUR ppl spending in beauty care products. Everything brother described Indians doing we are still do in the US to each other in many cases. We have to be careful of demanding others to do what we dont do to and for ourselves. Our psyche is damaged because who controls your imagery controls your psyche.
"Anti-black anything is unacceptable" yet black people from America be shitting on Indians everytime we have some kind of progress in the development of the country, how about I give them a reality check and ask them to look at their people being in Africa, they're having a worse life than us, but no pick on other nationalities who're doing good for their countries.
Thanks so much for this video. I am a Black Canadian of British Caribbean descent. I was fortunate to spend two weeks touring in India. I always say that my trip taught me so much about my own Caribbean descent because I saw the effects of colonialism. I noticed that immediately I was bombarded with billboards and TV ads of skin lightening creams and thought that it was so sad. I am dark-skinned with an hourglass figure and wear my Black Girl Magic with extreme pride. I've often worn my natural hair. My mother and sister are much more lighter complexed than I am. I recall that when I was about 13 a Black boy told me that he wouldn't like me because I was dark. Funny as an adult I've noticed that I'm often told that I am beautiful by White men and women mostly because of how I carry myself and my confidence. So my point is that confidence is beautiful in whatever skin tone you are blessed to come into this world in. Embrace your beauty.
Don't feel bad. I heard something similar right here in America. Had once liked this young boy who was in my school. I was in the same class as his sister. Thought I had hit the jackpot one day when his sister invited me over to their house. She knew I liked her brother. However, I noticed throughout the short visit my classmate was acting kind of standoffish. Moreso, than usual. At one point when their mom and older sister went outside my classmate ushered her brother into the living room where we all were sitting. Next thing I know she looks to me and says, " (my name) I don't want you to take this the wrong way but my brother has something to say to you". Part of what sparked it was the mother seemed to tightly control the 'cultural category' of friends she allowed her kids around. So, when I showed up at the house the mother did not think I was a part of their cultural group. I was naive at the time and didn't understand the full scope of the incident until many yrs later. Stupid me here I'm thinking he's going to finally ask me out. No, the whole 'visit' was a set up. The mother and older sister's 'exit' from the house was so that my classmate and her brother could lay the bombshell out on me in privacy / away from the mother who, didn't have the decency to face me herself. My classmates brother comes from another part of the house and says to me: "I'm sorry my mom didn't speak to you the whole time you've been here. Actually, my mom doesn't allow me to talk to or date anyone who is not, Creole". My mouth was on the floor. Needless, to say none of them ever had to worry about me talking to ANY of them, again. .....and as for my former classmate. She was so embarrassed by what she and her brother were put up to tell me that, every time she saw me after that, her stuttering went into overdrive !!!
Thank you! It all depends on the way your dignity is presented. Be proud of “who you are”. I’m Indian from Bangalore and proud to be who I am. By the way I’m darker skinned and proud to be called “black”. Film industry also chooses lighter skinned as actresses. If the male is black, he needs to be 100 times more talented than a lighter skinned. Thank you once again for this topic.
Being able to thrive in the higher latitudes is tremendously expensive, and it is difficult to do without a steady source of cheap resources from places that are closer to the equator.
Wow😯 this is an HONEST Indian woman. Most East Indians here in Guyana 🇬🇾 deny there Discrimination against Blacks and pretend colorism exists and when you deny a problem it only gets WORSE.
Thank you, my friend. I feel the only way for all of us to heal is to face some uncomfortable truths, starting from wishing ourselves. Honesty is the best policy, always. Most importantly, it’s important to be honest with yourself. Ever since I have addressed my own unconscious biases and written my book, I sleep better at night 🙏🏾
MAN LOOK AT THE CAST SYSTEM YOU SEE HOW THEY TREAT THOSE BLACKS STRAIGHT HAIR FOLKS SOME ARE BLACKER THAT THE AFRICAN!!!! I WAS?SHOCKED ALSO!!! I ASK A?BROTHER WHERE YOU FROM HE SAID INDIA!!! I COMPARED MY COMPLEXION TO HIS I SMILED!! SAID WOW YOUR DARKER THAN I AM.

@@FootballJunky-r6hpeople inside have lighter skin = they are more educated It’s really dumb cus i have olive skin so when I’m outside it tans and when it’s winter I get pale.

Ignorant people are ignorant, lions care not the opinions of sheep so just let them be ignorant
This video has highlighted the importance of having good education from good people at a very young age. Being a British born Nigerian and relocating at a young age of 7 to Nigeria has done me a world of good. I’ve never had any issues with the tone of my skin (I’m as dark as they come) but having role models who look like me achieving great things from a young age has fortified me mentally. I returned to the UK at 17, and I am unable to look at a person with a different skin tone, be it lighter or darker as superior or inferior despite now having letters after my name.
I worked in dermatology, where I learned to love and appreciate my color. White patients would tell me they loved my skin cuz I don’t have to worry about skin cancers and wrinkles. Some were even jealous. Some whites are even mixing with us according to them, to ensure the survival of there future generations cuz the ozone layer being destroyed would destroy them. I was surprised to see that video. I love my melanated skin.♥️ I am from Trinidad and we have that problem with the Indians there, they make up a large part of the population, came there as indentured laborers.
Oh believe me not just in India but all throughout the continent and in some carribean countries. Even in the uk. I really don't understand these countries like Sa, kenya, uganda, gambia where we're the majority but yet they put up with (Ray cism) and even excuse it. Smh. Now they're deporting the nigerians, but many of them are in nigeria smh. That's why I always say idi Amin was the greatest president of uganda 🇺🇬
@Ted Cox Absolutely especially the africans & carribeans because they get fed bread crumbs to keep them submissive. I was in the gambia the bw are always being (sa) by 🇮🇳 men but the locals don't say nothing even the police if you try to report it smh.
The same way Desis put up with racism from Europeans, Middle Easterners, Far Easterners, South East Asians and Non Desis within The Indian Subcontinent yeah. Because of them being placed lower on the racial hierarchy then every grouping except for Black's yeah.

With all due respect, Idi Amin was a fool. The paragon of incompetent leadership. If you’re looking for a proper African leader, consider Thomas Sankara. Nigerians unfortunately have a reputation of criminality. Not all , but it’s a known fact. The other countries you listed still harbor neocolonialism in certain aspects. It’ll take time to undo the damage the Europeans stained the continent with their profane feet.
Thank you so much for this video...As an elder who come from the Caribbean we have our issues too with colorism... We also have Indian and Chinese throughout these islands Some of them have assimilated into the society and some have not...The worldwide web is bringing white supremacy with it's racism to it's knees...Thank you for exposing the ignorance...I lived in South Afrika for 4yrs...Holla if you want a different perspective...Blessings to you and your family...
My school social worker was from India I thought he was Black we went back and forth on it for years I couldn't understand back then I was dark but he was far darker in complexion than I was I always ignored his accent but he told me on our last session I am not African but I am a Black Indian of Indonesian descent and shook my hand I just wish I could remember his name 😔 shame on me . Lastly Love yourself if you can't do that than you can't anybody ✌️
Yep some people are stupid and do it and look like clowns 🤡 and that skin bleach can cause an allergic reaction and sensitivity to the sun 🌞 because your unprotected
I had a co-worker who I became friends with. She was from India..we got along fine. Went to lunch together..talked about racism and every other subject under the sun. So I know there are people that don't feel or treat AA the same.There was mutual respect between us as it should have been.
In the late 90’s while working in a hospital in Washington DC, a new very, very dark Indian physician who was much darker than me became quite irate when another co-worker commented on his beautiful skin. He said “ I am not a Negroid” and walked away. It made me angry at the time, but after listening to this, I imagine he was bullied about his dark skin.
Do not empathize with people like that. It’s not just skin color, he was saying the he is not a ni66er like you. Some whites are ridiculed for being too pale and I would not empathize with them either.
@LA Gunn ... You should've told that doc that he's "blackoid" from now on ... this is AmeriKKKA .... doc or not people will always see you as a negroid ...
I'm Black African Brazilian and america,I love it my skin it's so gorgeous and I'm more than proud I'm happy for this beautiful skin so powerful 😂😂😂❤❤❤
We are not black...the black an white philosophy is a European philosophy an ideology...yes we've embrace the terrible label to combat white supremacy but we are African
Greeks used to call Africans western Ethiopians and they used to call Indians eastern Ethiopians. They called us by those terms because their existed strong cultural ties between Africa and India at the time. Infact India was called Indo-Cush at the time. This talks to the connection between Africa and India. If you look at some Indian gods and the earliest images of the Budha, there is no doubt about the connection between Africa and India. We need to look for things that connect us than separate us for the good of both peoples....
Alot of light skin black people have colourism issues in the west too England, Carribean islands and the United states it's not just indian people, remember if your white your are always right to them.
I was disturb when I watch this video last week on youtube of an Indian Mother using bleaching cream on her son, and was totally fine with it. Her video was showing people how they can actually do it. Lord have mercy.
That mother doesn't know any better. She is traumatizing that child, He will live to hate her! I am quite sure that she got a lot of backlash from people who watch youtube.
I went to Southern Indian and spent 2 months in Hyderabad . I went to purchase some body lotion and every product had lightening cream in it . Almost on every billboard was an advertisement for bleaching cream. Colorism is real. I met a lovely lady entrepreneur who said that her husband calls her blackie and that her father-in-law only cherishes her lighter daughter, not her darker daughter 😢 I also went to Karnataka where in the capital I did see more melanated Indians in capital, Bengaluru (formerly Bangalore). There is a melanated population called the Siddis.The Siddis of Karnataka are an ethnic group inhabiting India. Members are descended from Bantu peoples from Southeast Africa that were brought to the Indian subcontinent as slaves by Portuguese merchants and Arab traders.
Yeah colourism is real here. And most people wants to look fair/lighter. That's the reason those girls/boys get more proposals who look lighter skinned.
@@sairis it's sad but true, it's even among black people and in Africa. In Ghana, men prefer light skin women and vice versa. Same in the Caribbean, it's even worse over there.
Young lady, please be happy with the color of your skin! I can see you being extremely beautiful not that you're not beautiful now. Being who you are and not caring about everyone else.
Great topic and interview Unc. I applaud Shweta for acknowledging this sensitive and deep rooted issue. I never had a problem with being the "Copper-Color race found here by the European" .
Glad she was brave enough to join the platform. And she still has a lot to learn. I would also warn her. Anti-bias is difficult to get rid of because it's buried in our subconscious and is more than an intellectual exercise.
I love her honesty, transpiracy and sharing her story. Its funny I can't relate to being dark skin, but it sounds like everyone has something that they have been teased about and made fun of etc.
@@unlearnwithshweta very true, I have met sooooo many people throughout my life. Asian, black, white, tall, short, rich, poor. And I hear the same thing about human suffering of some sort and insecurities. Thank you for sharing and I hope that ur people will have an awakening as we have had and are having.
This is what I told my son when he got admission to enter university to study medicine he was the only black in the department of medicine, I told him that he should remember where he was coming from and he should remember what he is going to face him in that university as the only black child facing the whites students, I told him you are there to get the most prestigious knowledge of your destiny, be proud of yourself as a black man, don't allowed any one to disvalues you or disrespect you be consistent on your journey and get to the mountains of your favorite choice of futures and i told him to be always proud of the colour of your skin and always be confident of yourself, he should never look at their faces but he should look at the beauty of his black colour, he should concentrate and never give a dam of whatever they said about him, today my son is a graduate of medicine working in the hospital, when we were going to his graduation day we took Uber to the prestigious University with his girlfriend he was telling the white Uber driver that he is black proud man and he will never be ashamed of his beautiful colour of his skin. no matter what they said I am a proud woman of colour and nothing else.
The same thing happens in Mexico. If you watch your soap opera, The all the actors are very very light skinned Mexicans. There are no dark-skinned Mexicans on TV
@my.02 I completely agree with commission Mark when I was 16 I had a very light skinned boyfriend with red hair. I was living in Mexico City at the time. One day he introduced me to his cousin but before he did, he told me that his cousin was jealous of him because my boyfriend was so good-looking. After I met the guy I told my wow he is really good looking! My boyfriend was shocked!!! The guy had jet-black hair dark mysterious eyes full lips and creamy brown skin😵💫🤯🥹 adorable! My boyfriend and I did not last very long at all. He was a real jerk. He would literally flirt and stare at other girls when he was with me. Unbelievable! In Mexico we call them "sinverguenzas" shameless cads
She said the Indian men are demanding fair wives. The Black American men (not all) are demanding fair wives here, also. Wow! How bout that. It's universal! Something to think about...
Talking about skin bleaching in the Caribbean, it is prominent in the Dominican Republic. When I saw a recent picture of former Chicago Cubs All Star Outfielder Sammy Sosa, he was unrecognizable. Whatever he's done to his skin in my opinion is criminal. It reminds me of Malcolm X said to an audience, " who taught you to hate yourself." When Sosa played for the Cubs he was embraced with his dark skin, however after his retirement and return to his homeland The Dominican Republic, he became maladjusted thereby believing a white skin tone was necessary for his self esteem. Granted he was already a hero to the Dominican people, baseball is the national sport, and MLB is flooded with Dominican players, so why did he find it necessary to become white? He drank the wine of white supremacy, it's hurtful to see it, but it is what it is.
@@YTHatesMe-999 it hurts bgm6603, what do we have to do here in the Western Hemisphere to uplift our people out of the dredges of white supremacy to become proud of what they are? Malcolm X said it, James Brown said, The Last Poets said it, Jesse Jackson said it, and countless others but it hasn't resonated, one day it will.
I hope this will answer your thoughts. Dominicans of color don't believe they have African roots and will convince you they're European. To the Dominican dominican is their color.
I've worked at jobs in the United States where the non citizen, on visa, African employees would allow the Indian employees to discriminate against them. They would allow ALL the foreign employees to abuse them. It was deplorable.
Many are copping and following the oppressor and they surely succeed dividing the world. They are the cause of many worldwide turmoil these gonna have a lot to answer on judgment day.
Indian are also racists towards other Asians too. The Indian government actually created PSA to denounce the word *_"Chinky"_* because it's a derogatory term used against East Asian looking Indians. Colonialism have left is fucked-up mark in India and on Indian. This is why Indian American actress like Mindy Kaling and other South Asian American actors and actresses purposely will pair themselves with white men and women in movies, television shows and alike in western entertainment industry. Compare that to other Asian American group where only women are paired to white men because Asian women don't have control of the media.
This was a fantastic presentation Brother. Both of you brought out poignant points that we all need to consider. I think one of the most powerful things that was brought up that should've been touched on more and maybe you can invite her back so that you can reach our audience with this point. You mentioned our Black is Beautiful movement which lifted self-esteem. There is a need for some type of Black Beautiful movement in India, even if only regionally. This was a key gem African Americans shared with the world. So powerful it reached back to MotherAfrica. When you said I would visit India because Black people are everywhere and want visit your people. Powerful! It would be great to see you two to converse more because there c is an Awakening of the Black /Melanin Consciousness and esteem. People are waking up history is starting to be retraced and acknowledged in that conversation played a great part in what is to come. Thank you to both of you.
I work with a lot of Indians and this sheds a lot of light on why a high majority of them sympathize with the Black Americans here in the US. Great Episode!
Great show Phil. you are opening a lot of eyes of people around the world with plain old common sense. The truth can only set you free when you become knowledgeable of yourself and accept who you are.
That's crazy! Colorism is everywhere and passed down from to generation. How do we stop this madness??? My family and I have never gone through this and proud to be black!
I appreciate Shweta's story, bravery and her life. Truly people need to learn from systematic self hate that has manifested / been rooted in our cultures and social context to condition us all to uplift one (1) color or group and dehumanize natural beauty. Color = worthiness. The darker a person is the less worthy. This is a vicous lie and is rooted in evil.
What a powerful personal testimony. I deeply appreciate the transparency of this sister . God bless her on her continued private and public journey. May her voice be heard and her message received among all peoples.
Thank you so much, my friend. I cannot tell you how well I sleep at night now that I have shared my story, my wrongdoings, AND my confessions in the book. I will continue to fight colourism and racism till my last breath!
Refreshing and inspiring to see and hear how candidly this courageous Indian woman speaks out about this matter. It will most likely not be appreciated by many of her compatriots. You have my respect lady.
HEARING people talk about hating their complexion, using products to get lighter . I'm gonna be honest it makes me want to cry it's really sad because I love black women and I hate for them to be told they aren't beautiful. Because it's an evil lie black women are the most curviest full lips most attractive women on this planet, white women are getting injections to look like black and brown WOMEN But white media still push this lie of beauty , and for some reason so many fall for it .
Because they're about being the center of attention. And if us Black people were to take that away from them . They will die . Look at how WW were dying over a black Woman movement on ticktoc Or when that BM announced that he only wants BW. And WW went nuts. Like how dare someone don't put me on a pedestal. They wouldn't last a week in our shoes when it comes to being discriminated against. Yet they love bullying but can't take it.
@layberry5979 I agree it's a ploy to continue to undermine African women because they are the most beautiful; at the same time to undermine their confidence! We are a powerful people that have existed for 100's of thousands of years with the most strands of DNA than anybody else! Our existence is a threat! My words to them! Is get over it! I still love brown and the darker of tones. Besides sex is sweeter! Sorry I'm just saying! Like candy!
Great discussion Phila and Shweta. I am of Afrikan origin(s) and I say it this way only because the same whites gave us the name blacks. I grew up in the US and have been living in a country in East Afrika for a bit over a year. I have so much to say on your discussion but, I won't be able to capture everything now because I have to finish up dinner. Phil, I want to say that you will find some of us in the US using skin bleaching creams (whiteners/brighteners). True we are generally on a path to "trying" to love the skin that we are in but if you go into any beauty supply store in the hood you will find those products. There is also at least one "black" owned company who I won't call out, who has soaps and creams that contain these products. I believe colorisnm is still alive and well in our communities in the US, perhaps just not as overt as previously. You mentioned them (in India) loving their colonizers. Well, that happens here as well. They did such a fantastic (horrible) job with damaging folks psychologically worldwide; this is not a strange , but common phenomenon. You are right that many of them (white people) want our skin tones; they also want our facial features, body types, mannerisms, etc. Many are even trying to hijack AAVE (Ebonics). Of course we are not a monolith as is no group of people but we dp of course share some traits and characteristics. Many of these things coming from us are judged negatively while from the appropriaters ithey are judged as cool, creative, and inventive. Shweta, it is the same here as far as the white women dressing in traditional clothing or not and being revered and they are generally treated better that other Afrikans or people of Afrikan decent.

This was absolutely fascinating! I appreciate Shweta's candor. If I spoke on my mixture you wouldn't even believe it. I am perceived as ... but my family tree? I have a whole family crest... Hence, I stay to myself, for the most part. Also...some of us change color depending on the season...🤣 I enjoyed her honest perspective. Thank you for sharing....🥰
I am an afrikan person, also raised abroad. But I have always felt a stronger relationship to Indians than to the Europeans. There’s no explanation to that. The funniest thing is I often meet Indians dark as me accompanied by white people, who behave more distant to me than their white friends. Just remember that the nazis were only 12 years in Power. Therefore this nefarious mentality was exported all around the globe. So I guess we still need some time and education to overcome this madness called COLORISM. Kudos to this lady for her courage to speak up. Congrats Mr. Phil 🙏🏿
This was a great interview! Thank you Phil for being a sensitive host and thank you Shweta for being courageous enough to share your painful journey with colorism. I hope this dialogue will continue with other communities impacted by ws so that we can all heal together. There is definitely a spiritual aspect to the evil worldwide doctrine of ws as well.
Phill Scott put his hands on his face, when she said, she only stop skin bleaching in 2020. She started skin bleaching in 1988, on and off. Phil facial expressions at this revelation is priceless
Phil this show is one of your best shows. I really enjoyed Shweta and you discussing the topic of dark skin internationally. I appreciate Shweta sincerity and openness and you welcoming her to come on your show. It was very educational to me..👍🏽👊🏽
For real, the psychology of colorism will make you turn on yourself; Kannada, Tulu, Konkan, Tamil, Malayalam - the "Dravidian" languages as they say are all black languages, BUT the western concept of "black" does not exist in Asia. Seeing is believing, so thank you so much Shweta!
@@kannaiahkannaiah3821 Dravidians. They have dark brown or black skin but are genetically different then the Black Negroid people of sub-Saharan Africa. Same goes for the Andamanese, Papuans, Melanesian, Pygmies, and Australian Aborigines; they all have Denisovan or another archaic human genes mixed in.
I find it interesting that she still uses the word fair as it relates to light/white skin. The word fair originally meant "pleasing to the eye". That word always triggers me ever since I learned what it meant. Decolonizing the mind is a process.
Bro Phil, there were black folks in India and yes even in other parts of SE Asia. Did you know that Hawaii was a black kingdom with a king and its own royal family going back over 1000 years, until the USA government took it over?
In ancient times Ethiopia extended over vast domains in both Africa and Asia. The two Ethiopia's One east of the Red Sea and one West of the Red sea. Ancient India was called Eastern Ethiopia.
Interesting video. I have a friend who is black. He’s from Brazil and lived in America and he told me when he worked in India he didn’t face any racism and sent us videos of his daily life. He speaks fluent Hindi as well. He’s one of the few black men I know that never faced racism in its Indians or in India. But I met other black folks that hated India.
I remember that one Indian lady who went in on WS at A University, she was interviewed here, cant think of her name...but some of these ppl like here on twitter stay going in on WS and upset them folks.

They can show their support to black people by buying from black people. We already been buying from them and they never returned that favor.
We done supporting everyone and their business.
BOTH!! To get accepted by society and job opportunities. Many jobs I worked at had NO people of color at ALL!! I only got opportunities because of White people who needed A BLACK FACE to cover up the truck of inequality by hiring someone of Color. But it was a Nightmare to work under those conditions!!
They better keep their Melaine because the sun is heating up they going to need that color in their skin to protect them.
I got a video of Indians beating Africans in India
As an Indian who was trafficked as a child I always embraced my darker skin and found a kindred unity in black people. It still feels like black people are the only group that understands my story. Plus my dna test shows that being from Sri Lanka my origins come from Sudan with hints of Ethiopian
Very interesting to know about your DNA results.
Im curious, how do Sri Lanka people feel about their skin color? Do they bleach?
@corporalchillmoodvibez I DON'T know they are pretty much about the same shape as true black folks.
@@cecegiles4583 I wish I could answer that. I was adopted to white people through international mission of hope and despite my yt families attempts to keep me connected with my community I was rejected by the Indian community from a young age. I have lived with a sense of no identity or community my whole life that’s why when I say how I was cut from my roots, the black community embraced me due to those similarities
@Corporal Chill Mood Vibez they are the only group I really relate to. I’m attracted to black women and honestly never had a desire to date white or European. Black folks are the only group I didn’t have to qualify my existence with

Great Job maybe next chapter you can research what's going on in the gulf states but yet Arabs have more African DNA than all non African groups
As a Desi (South Asian) I have to say that everything you said is true regarding colorism. We have been mentally colonized and have yet to shake off the shackles of colonialism. We would not have been allowed in the United States in mass numbers if it wasn't for the Civil Rights Movement. We owe a lot to Black America for what they have done in helping our community, and have forgotten that we are indebted to them for paving the way for our freedom. The same can be said in other parts of the world where Blacks and Indians have inhabited the land together.
Yeah usually Desis like Black's are treated badly almost anywhere they go be it in the West, Middle East, Near East, Far East, and other dots yeah.
I really like your statement, because so many people of color who migrate here never really give respect to the Black American for the works that they have done in the past who had opened the door to us ,thank you for your Honest comment
You really get it......thank you!

I will never bleach my skin. I was raised in the 60s. Where it was very difficult being special dark chocolate. My mom always told me to respond. The blacker the berry the sweeter the juice. That I'm extremely beautiful despite what others say. She taught us that people were envious of my complexion. I use to watch my mom lay out in the sun with coco butter. James Brown said it best at that time. Say it loud, "I'm BLACK and I'm PROUD! Thank you mom

As a Black educator, in the American Public School System, I have actually come in contact with Indian teens that stated they wished they were lighter or even white in skin tone. It is truly a sad sight to see...On the other hand, I have also encountered racism from the Indian community because of the color of my skin. But the ironic part is that they were either the same color as me or darker.
I have encountered Racism from my South Indian friend’s mother, she never liked me because, I am “Black”when I asked my friend why, she said, her mother doesn’t want to be reminded of her past, of how she was treated badly in India; or to be associated with, anyone who is Black. Her Classism, Colorism and Racism, can never leave her, and her “isms” contributed to her hatred toward anyone who is of dark complexion.

Back in 1994 I met an East Indian man, a physical therapist. I asked him about racism in India. He said that there is no racism there. There is a cast system. I told him that that cast system is based on skin color. He denied that. I told him that that is the evil shameful truth worldwide wherever the colonizer/oppressors have invaded people who look like him and me. He was lighter than me, but still brown. I was older than he. I told him that at a point in his life he will realize that truth.
My family is Indian subcontinental (but they moved to the west in the 1970.
People in the subcontinent have bigotry but it’s not based on race.
Bigotry there is based on religion, caste (which is based on jobs and social class), wealth, language.

The doctor was under the mindset that you was a dumb black American as most I them believe what the Caucasian Americans say about us, until they witness white women going crazy over black men, and they witness black men and women in the most unassuming areas of high social status sometimes and it infuriates the East Indian, given that they have invested into Verna and that corrosive, gutter religion called Hinduism!
My fiancee and I are about her complexion. Darker skin is beautiful and parents need to teach their kids that.

She's so right! Racism & anti Blackness is deeply engrained in the Indian community & has simply been exported to the diaspora. This is treated hush hush & publicly denied. I was shocked to learn that dating or marrying an African is taboo in Indian communities in South Africa & normally leads to being disowned. This happened to a South African friend who was forced to move to another region of the country.
The racism in India is so bad that the very dark Indians formed a branch of the black panther party
@charlesdorsey that must the majority then because most Indians are dark complexions. There's also lots of poverty in India, tremendous abuse against women, dark religions, ignorance leading to arrogance at it's worse .... Take a look at yourselves India 🤔
I can tell you, she’s right! I had an Indian friend. I had a beautiful baby girl, and my friend said, “if my baby was light skinned “, she would be sooo beautiful! I told her she was beautiful now.
You should have dropped that “friend!” She was dumb! Not “ignorant,” just DUMB!

THIS IS SO TRUE! Anti-black anything is unacceptable especially after we’ve been so good to you and helped develop you as a human being. We’re not excepting this in 2023, so all those who want to be anti-black yet steal profit from black can kick rocks.
Black People in America are still anti black in many ways, we mask it better because of our levels of education and affluency. Lets look at what billions are spent on in OUR ppl spending in beauty care products. Everything brother described Indians doing we are still do in the US to each other in many cases. We have to be careful of demanding others to do what we dont do to and for ourselves. Our psyche is damaged because who controls your imagery controls your psyche.
"Anti-black anything is unacceptable" yet black people from America be shitting on Indians everytime we have some kind of progress in the development of the country, how about I give them a reality check and ask them to look at their people being in Africa, they're having a worse life than us, but no pick on other nationalities who're doing good for their countries.
Thanks so much for this video. I am a Black Canadian of British Caribbean descent. I was fortunate to spend two weeks touring in India. I always say that my trip taught me so much about my own Caribbean descent because I saw the effects of colonialism. I noticed that immediately I was bombarded with billboards and TV ads of skin lightening creams and thought that it was so sad. I am dark-skinned with an hourglass figure and wear my Black Girl Magic with extreme pride. I've often worn my natural hair. My mother and sister are much more lighter complexed than I am. I recall that when I was about 13 a Black boy told me that he wouldn't like me because I was dark. Funny as an adult I've noticed that I'm often told that I am beautiful by White men and women mostly because of how I carry myself and my confidence. So my point is that confidence is beautiful in whatever skin tone you are blessed to come into this world in. Embrace your beauty.
❤
Don't feel bad. I heard something similar right here in America.
Had once liked this young boy who was in my school. I was in the same class as his sister. Thought I had hit the jackpot one day when his sister invited me over to their house. She knew I liked her brother. However, I noticed throughout the short visit my classmate was acting kind of standoffish. Moreso, than usual.
At one point when their mom and older sister went outside my classmate ushered her brother into the living room where we all were sitting. Next thing I know she looks to me and says, " (my name) I don't want you to take this the wrong way but my brother has something to say to you". Part of what sparked it was the mother seemed to tightly control the 'cultural category' of friends she allowed her kids around. So, when I showed up at the house the mother did not think I was a part of their cultural group. I was naive at the time and didn't understand the full scope of the incident until many yrs later.
Stupid me here I'm thinking he's going to finally ask me out. No, the whole 'visit' was a set up. The mother and older sister's 'exit' from the house was so that my classmate and her brother could lay the bombshell out on me in privacy / away from the mother who, didn't have the decency to face me herself.
My classmates brother comes from another part of the house and says to me: "I'm sorry my mom didn't speak to you the whole time you've been here. Actually, my mom doesn't allow me to talk to or date anyone who is not, Creole". My mouth was on the floor.
Needless, to say none of them ever had to worry about me talking to ANY of them, again.
.....and as for my former classmate. She was so embarrassed by what she and her brother were put up to tell me that, every time she saw me after that, her stuttering went into overdrive !!!
Black is beautiful!!!
I even got a black tee shirt that says, I ❤ black people.
Thank you! It all depends on the way your dignity is presented. Be proud of “who you are”. I’m Indian from Bangalore and proud to be who I am. By the way I’m darker skinned and proud to be called “black”. Film industry also chooses lighter skinned as actresses. If the male is black, he needs to be 100 times more talented than a lighter skinned. Thank you once again for this topic.

In the late 90’s while working in a hospital in Washington DC, a new very, very dark Indian physician who was much darker than me became quite irate when another co-worker commented on his beautiful skin. He said “ I am not a Negroid” and walked away. It made me angry at the time, but after listening to this, I imagine he was bullied about his dark skin.
Do not empathize with people like that. It’s not just skin color, he was saying the he is not a ni66er like you. Some whites are ridiculed for being too pale and I would not empathize with them either.

They called us by those terms because their existed strong cultural ties between Africa and India at the time. Infact India was called Indo-Cush at the time.

Almost on every billboard was an advertisement for bleaching cream. Colorism is real. I met a lovely lady entrepreneur who said that her husband calls her blackie and that her father-in-law only cherishes her lighter daughter, not her darker daughter 😢 I also went to Karnataka where in the capital I did see more melanated Indians in capital, Bengaluru (formerly Bangalore). There is a melanated population called the Siddis.The Siddis of Karnataka are an ethnic group inhabiting India. Members are descended from Bantu peoples from Southeast Africa that were brought to the Indian subcontinent as slaves by Portuguese merchants and Arab traders.
Yeah colourism is real here. And most people wants to look fair/lighter. That's the reason those girls/boys get more proposals who look lighter skinned.
@@sairis it's sad but true, it's even among black people and in Africa. In Ghana, men prefer light skin women and vice versa. Same in the Caribbean, it's even worse over there.
@@everymanisyourteacher9951 so true......
@TMi B… not all we’re enslaved. A lot of Africans went to India centuries ago as merchants, artisans, and soldiers.
Specifically, the Siddis are of Kenyan direct descent.
Young lady, please be happy with the color of your skin! I can see you being extremely beautiful not that you're not beautiful now. Being who you are and not caring about everyone else.
Exactly be strong and keep your head up high
Great topic and interview Unc. I applaud Shweta for acknowledging this sensitive and deep rooted issue. I never had a problem with being the "Copper-Color race found here by the European" .

Glad she was brave enough to join the platform. And she still has a lot to learn. I would also warn her. Anti-bias is difficult to get rid of because it's buried in our subconscious and is more than an intellectual exercise.
😂😂😂😂😂 You lot are always looking for something to pick at?!🙄🤦🏾
Thank you Phillip, for your hardwork and clarification. Great interview!!!
I'm CHOCOLATE and PROUD OF IT! I got vitiligo and I cried for a month. PRAISE YAH that it's only on my neck!🥰
It will spread all over your entire body
Praise Yah
Color is nothing to be proud or ashamed of.
I love her honesty, transpiracy and sharing her story. Its funny I can't relate to being dark skin, but it sounds like everyone has something that they have been teased about and made fun of etc.
You said it, my friend. I don't there's a single person in this world who doesn't have any insecurities :(
@@unlearnwithshweta very true, I have met sooooo many people throughout my life. Asian, black, white, tall, short, rich, poor. And I hear the same thing about human suffering of some sort and insecurities. Thank you for sharing and I hope that ur people will have an awakening as we have had and are having.
This is what I told my son when he got admission to enter university to study medicine he was the only black in the department of medicine, I told him that he should remember where he was coming from and he should remember what he is going to face him in that university as the only black child facing the whites students, I told him you are there to get the most prestigious knowledge of your destiny, be proud of yourself as a black man, don't allowed any one to disvalues you or disrespect you be consistent on your journey and get to the mountains of your favorite choice of futures and i told him to be always proud of the colour of your skin and always be confident of yourself, he should never look at their faces but he should look at the beauty of his black colour, he should concentrate and never give a dam of whatever they said about him, today my son is a graduate of medicine working in the hospital, when we were going to his graduation day we took Uber to the prestigious University with his girlfriend he was telling the white Uber driver that he is black proud man and he will never be ashamed of his beautiful colour of his skin. no matter what they said I am a proud woman of colour and nothing else.
Is his gf Black? Just curious
@@KamalasNotLikeUs That environment will not have many options for a black gf
She is a black beautiful woman too okay.
@@KamalasNotLikeUs yes his girlfriend is a beautiful black woman too.
God bless him in his studies. We have to teach self-love at home.
The same thing happens in Mexico. If you watch your soap opera, The all the actors are very very light skinned Mexicans. There are no dark-skinned Mexicans on TV
As a black woman, I feel the darker complexion of internationals are the best looking.
@my.02 I completely agree with commission Mark when I was 16 I had a very light skinned boyfriend with red hair. I was living in Mexico City at the time. One day he introduced me to his cousin but before he did, he told me that his cousin was jealous of him because my boyfriend was so good-looking. After I met the guy I told my wow he is really good looking! My boyfriend was shocked!!! The guy had jet-black hair dark mysterious eyes full lips and creamy brown skin😵💫🤯🥹 adorable! My boyfriend and I did not last very long at all. He was a real jerk. He would literally flirt and stare at other girls when he was with me. Unbelievable! In Mexico we call them "sinverguenzas" shameless cads
The majority of those actors ( government ) are Spaniards, not Aztec
@Reload .805 Ahhhh, well that makes sense. Yes, that's actually worse that they wouldn't even use Mexicans in Mexican novelas.
@@6feet6figures yes that movie RRR the actress and actors bleach their face and have nose jobs
Thank you brother for bringing on such great interview with this brave Indian sister here, looking forward to more like this. 👍
I LOVE MY COMPLEXION I WISH I WAS DARKER
Black is beautiful, honestly she looks way better than lighter Indians
Yes I'm chocolate but I swear I wish I was darker 🖤‼️
I like the darker Indian looking women they are more beautiful 😍 and exotic looking
I wish I was taller. So women are as prejudice. I am happy with me. I dont wish for any changes .
She said the Indian men are demanding fair wives. The Black American men (not all) are demanding fair wives here, also. Wow! How bout that. It's universal! Something to think about...
It is called self-hate and most of them are brainwashed by the WS.
Hopefully, that discussion will come up sooner than later.
I disagree. I don’t see that. In fact, as I’ve gotten older, I’ve had multiple instances when I was considered not dark enough to be ideal.
@@KamalasNotLikeUs you find that situation more amongst black athletes and celebrities wanting light skin wives.
Nobody h8 their dark skin in America more than the black American women lol prove me wrong 😶
Talking about skin bleaching in the Caribbean, it is prominent in the Dominican Republic. When I saw a recent picture of former Chicago Cubs All Star Outfielder Sammy Sosa, he was unrecognizable. Whatever he's done to his skin in my opinion is criminal. It reminds me of Malcolm X said to an audience, " who taught you to hate yourself."
When Sosa played for the Cubs he was embraced with his dark skin, however after his retirement and return to his homeland The Dominican Republic, he became maladjusted thereby believing a white skin tone was necessary for his self esteem. Granted he was already a hero to the Dominican people, baseball is the national sport, and MLB is flooded with Dominican players, so why did he find it necessary to become white? He drank the wine of white supremacy, it's hurtful to see it, but it is what it is.
I used to be a fan of Sammy Sosa when he was in the majors. I saw the same picture that you saw and lost all respect for him.
@@YTHatesMe-999 it hurts bgm6603, what do we have to do here in the Western Hemisphere to uplift our people out of the dredges of white supremacy to become proud of what they are? Malcolm X said it, James Brown said, The Last Poets said it, Jesse Jackson said it, and countless others but it hasn't resonated, one day it will.
I hope this will answer your thoughts. Dominicans of color don't believe they have African roots and will convince you they're European. To the Dominican dominican is their color.
Kudos to you for this video, Phil!!! You really outdid yourself with this one. Bravo!!!!
I've worked at jobs in the United States where the non citizen, on visa, African employees would allow the Indian employees to discriminate against them. They would allow ALL the foreign employees to abuse them. It was deplorable.
Many are copping and following the oppressor and they surely succeed dividing the world. They are the cause of many worldwide turmoil these gonna have a lot to answer on judgment day.
Indian are also racists towards other Asians too. The Indian government actually created PSA to denounce the word *_"Chinky"_* because it's a derogatory term used against East Asian looking Indians. Colonialism have left is fucked-up mark in India and on Indian. This is why Indian American actress like Mindy Kaling and other South Asian American actors and actresses purposely will pair themselves with white men and women in movies, television shows and alike in western entertainment industry. Compare that to other Asian American group where only women are paired to white men because Asian women don't have control of the media.
😱😱😱😱
Unfortunately, there are many 🦝 in the African immigrant communities
RUclips is hiding comments
I’m a dark skin brotha and I remember growing up the girls like my light skin friends over me but hey as I got older all that didn’t matter !!
Nothing changed
Colorism does not affect men as it does women or girls....and that is keeping it real.
@@cecegiles4583 a lot of women out there like dark skin brothas just like brothas like beautiful chocolate Sistas !!
@@415folife9 no kidding 🙄🙄
Pops should a pulled out !!
I went on Pinterest and searched for "black indians" , "dark skin indians", etc. The photos are amazing!!!
So you had to search for them. Open your eyes and you will see a lot.
@@kellyandrews8161 Pinterest is not the only place I looked
I will never bleach my skin.
Never
@@FootballJunky-r6h Never ever ever!!!
But you want blond hair and blue eyes or long hair
@@kellyandrews8161 No and no. Unlike everyone else, I'm fine just the way I am. My hair is fine. I have an Afro.
This was a fantastic presentation Brother. Both of you brought out poignant points that we all need to consider. I think one of the most powerful things that was brought up that should've been touched on more and maybe you can invite her back so that you can reach our audience with this point. You mentioned our Black is Beautiful movement which lifted self-esteem. There is a need for some type of Black Beautiful movement in India, even if only regionally. This was a key gem African Americans shared with the world. So powerful it reached back to MotherAfrica. When you said I would visit India because Black people are everywhere and want visit your people. Powerful! It would be great to see you two to converse more because there c is an Awakening of the Black /Melanin Consciousness and esteem. People are waking up history is starting to be retraced and acknowledged in that conversation played a great part in what is to come. Thank you to both of you.
Black is nothing to be proud of or ashamed of. White red yellow is nothing proud or ashamed of.
I work with a lot of Indians and this sheds a lot of light on why a high majority of them sympathize with the Black Americans here in the US. Great Episode!
I'm glad that this particular topic came up because I've been saying this for years
I'm dark a milk chocolate but I wish I was dark dark dark 🥺🥺 like omg , black is just so beautiful ‼️🔥🖤🖤
Great show Phil. you are opening a lot of eyes of people around the world with plain old common sense. The truth can only set you free when you become knowledgeable of yourself and accept who you are.
That's crazy! Colorism is everywhere and passed down from to generation. How do we stop this madness??? My family and I have never gone through this and proud to be black!
You clearly aren't black.
That was a great interview Phil!
I appreciate Shweta's story, bravery and her life. Truly people need to learn from systematic self hate that has manifested / been rooted in our cultures and social context to condition us all to uplift one (1) color or group and dehumanize natural beauty. Color = worthiness. The darker a person is the less worthy. This is a vicous lie and is rooted in evil.
What a powerful personal testimony. I deeply appreciate the transparency of this sister . God bless her on her continued private and public journey. May her voice be heard and her message received among all peoples.
Thank you so much, my friend. I cannot tell you how well I sleep at night now that I have shared my story, my wrongdoings, AND my confessions in the book. I will continue to fight colourism and racism till my last breath!
This is a very good program! Thank you to both of you!
Refreshing and inspiring to see and hear how candidly this courageous Indian woman speaks out about this matter. It will most likely not be appreciated by many of her compatriots. You have my respect lady.
Skin bleaching is very common in African countries too.
Skin for Bleaching is common where there are large groups of dark skin people who had an experience with colonization or slavery
Yes, look at that phucking idiot Sammy Sosa for instance!!! Wow!!!!
it is popular in the usa
@@kellyandrews8161 No.
Shalom Brother, this was a great interview! Thank you!
BULLYING is pure EVIL no matter where it comes from, but especially with a close family member…
She was 11 in 1988 so she was born in 1977 she looks so good, I was thinking she was younger than me at 39.
HEARING people talk about hating their complexion, using products to get lighter . I'm gonna be honest it makes me want to cry it's really sad because I love black women and I hate for them to be told they aren't beautiful. Because it's an evil lie black women are the most curviest full lips most attractive women on this planet, white women are getting injections to look like black and brown WOMEN But white media still push this lie of beauty , and for some reason so many fall for it .
Because they're about being the center of attention. And if us Black people were to take that away from them . They will die .
Look at how WW were dying over a black Woman movement on ticktoc
Or when that BM announced that he only wants BW. And WW went nuts. Like how dare someone don't put me on a pedestal. They wouldn't last a week in our shoes when it comes to being discriminated against. Yet they love bullying but can't take it.
@layberry5979 I agree it's a ploy to continue to undermine African women because they are the most beautiful; at the same time to undermine their confidence! We are a powerful people that have existed for 100's of thousands of years with the most strands of DNA than anybody else! Our existence is a threat!
My words to them! Is get over it! I still love brown and the darker of tones. Besides sex is sweeter! Sorry I'm just saying! Like candy!
Great discussion Phila and Shweta. I am of Afrikan origin(s) and I say it this way only because the same whites gave us the name blacks. I grew up in the US and have been living in a country in East Afrika for a bit over a year. I have so much to say on your discussion but, I won't be able to capture everything now because I have to finish up dinner.
Phil, I want to say that you will find some of us in the US using skin bleaching creams (whiteners/brighteners). True we are generally on a path to "trying" to love the skin that we are in but if you go into any beauty supply store in the hood you will find those products. There is also at least one "black" owned company who I won't call out, who has soaps and creams that contain these products. I believe colorisnm is still alive and well in our communities in the US, perhaps just not as overt as previously.
You mentioned them (in India) loving their colonizers. Well, that happens here as well. They did such a fantastic (horrible) job with damaging folks psychologically worldwide; this is not a strange , but common phenomenon. You are right that many of them (white people) want our skin tones; they also want our facial features, body types, mannerisms, etc. Many are even trying to hijack AAVE (Ebonics). Of course we are not a monolith as is no group of people but we dp of course share some traits and characteristics. Many of these things coming from us are judged negatively while from the appropriaters ithey are judged as cool, creative, and inventive.
Shweta, it is the same here as far as the white women dressing in traditional clothing or not and being revered and they are generally treated better that other Afrikans or people of Afrikan decent.
My rice is burning so I've gotta go:) Thank you both!
Not just Indians, Jamaicans, Kenyans, Ethiopians think lighter iz better..
Around her eyes the true color still shows
Ikr......complexion looks off
It’s just dark under eyes! It can happen to anyone young or old. It’s genetic sometimes. I have those kind of eyes.
@@sandycheeks1580 She bleached for over 30 years…Bleachers usually have dark knuckles, dark elbows, dark spots on their kneecaps…though some people do naturally have very dark circles under their eyes like you. I always wonder if that indicates a health issue.
Raccoon eyes.
Europe did a number ON THE WORLD!!!!!
But the world TOO STUPID TO FLING OFF THIS PHONY YOLK OF WHITEISM. Instead some exchange it for the equally phony yolk of BLACKISM.
This was absolutely fascinating! I appreciate Shweta's candor. If I spoke on my mixture you wouldn't even believe it. I am perceived as ... but my family tree? I have a whole family crest... Hence, I stay to myself, for the most part. Also...some of us change color depending on the season...🤣 I enjoyed her honest perspective. Thank you for sharing....🥰
Such an important topic to cover. She is so honest, courageous and insightful. Phil had great questions and comments as always. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you so much, my friend, for receiving my message and the purpose behind fighting colourism with kindness. We’re in this together 👊🏽🙏🏾
A wise man once said "Often the one who is oppressed later becomes the oppressor."
Exactly and this what happened to us black people, we are becoming oppressors too without realizing it.
@@nadiamombrun2340Who are we oppressing?

YOU ARE SO RIGHT!! BLACK DONT CRACK!
thank you for this interview I was waiting for it
AWESOME AND THE ANCESTORS ARE WORKING THROUGH THIS BEAUTIFUL YOUNG LADY!🌟🌟🖤
Great interview Uncle Phil. Very eye opening and a much needed discussion.
I am an afrikan person, also raised abroad. But I have always felt a stronger relationship to Indians than to the Europeans. There’s no explanation to that. The funniest thing is I often meet Indians dark as me accompanied by white people, who behave more distant to me than their white friends.
Just remember that the nazis were only 12 years in Power. Therefore this nefarious mentality was exported all around the globe. So I guess we still need some time and education to overcome this madness called COLORISM.
Kudos to this lady for her courage to speak up.
Congrats Mr. Phil 🙏🏿
This was a great interview! Thank you Phil for being a sensitive host and thank you Shweta for being courageous enough to share your painful journey with colorism. I hope this dialogue will continue with other communities impacted by ws so that we can all heal together. There is definitely a spiritual aspect to the evil worldwide doctrine of ws as well.
Thank you so much! Amen to collective healing - that is exactly my purpose! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Phill Scott put his hands on his face, when she said, she only stop skin bleaching in 2020.
She started skin bleaching in 1988, on and off. Phil facial expressions at this revelation is priceless
Phil this show is one of your best shows. I really enjoyed Shweta and you discussing the topic of dark skin internationally. I appreciate Shweta sincerity and openness and you welcoming her to come on your show. It was very educational to me..👍🏽👊🏽
For real, the psychology of colorism will make you turn on yourself; Kannada, Tulu, Konkan, Tamil, Malayalam - the "Dravidian" languages as they say are all black languages, BUT the western concept of "black" does not exist in Asia. Seeing is believing, so thank you so much Shweta!
They aren't "Black" but they are dark-skinned. (and economically doing better than the pale north)
@@kharris9359 What is the difference between black and dark skinned? Who is "they"?
@@kannaiahkannaiah3821 I am wondering myself that this ignorant person is talking about.😁😁😁😁
@@kannaiahkannaiah3821 Dravidians. They have dark brown or black skin but are genetically different then the Black Negroid people of sub-Saharan Africa. Same goes for the Andamanese, Papuans, Melanesian, Pygmies, and Australian Aborigines; they all have Denisovan or another archaic human genes mixed in.
@@kharris9359You can be black but not African.
I find it interesting that she still uses the word fair as it relates to light/white skin. The word fair originally meant "pleasing to the eye". That word always triggers me ever since I learned what it meant. Decolonizing the mind is a process.
Well get over it, life ain't fair, no pun intended
Yes it is @nonsequitur, and you are on point!
It is still widely used. Dont let it bother you.
Phil I must say you did an excellent job. You asked the right questions. This was very informative.. Thank You
I already know how they feel in India but it's great to hear her perspective.
Bro Phil, there were black folks in India and yes even in other parts of SE Asia. Did you know that Hawaii was a black kingdom with a king and its own royal family going back over 1000 years, until the USA government took it over?
The polynesian culture would probably not describe themselves in that light.
Amazingly interesting show brother Phillip. Great job on both of your part.!!!
Excellent interview, very informative.
In ancient times Ethiopia extended over vast domains in both Africa and Asia. The two Ethiopia's One east of the Red Sea and one West of the Red sea. Ancient India was called Eastern Ethiopia.
She was so good thankful 🙏🏾
Thank you for the love and support, my friend 🙏🏾
Interesting video. I have a friend who is black. He’s from Brazil and lived in America and he told me when he worked in India he didn’t face any racism and sent us videos of his daily life. He speaks fluent Hindi as well. He’s one of the few black men I know that never faced racism in its Indians or in India.
But I met other black folks that hated India.
He’s just stupid or ignored the hate….
Lucky for him
That is because he is Brazilian. Everybody loves Brazilians.
I went to India recently and they ignored me and treated me so poorly. Even the taxi drivers looked past me and pretended i didn’t exist.
You are looking for racism.
America is as far as you need to look. I met black folks that hate the USA.
Really great video.
Thank you Dr. Phillip!
Thank you Shweta!
Thank you so much, my friend! :)
I remember that one Indian lady who went in on WS at A University, she was interviewed here, cant think of her name...but some of these ppl like here on twitter stay going in on WS and upset them folks.
