in Light, Bright and Damned Near White on TVOne on Jack and Jill Politics
@andrew w. I remember that episode well. The club was called the "Capital C" club for Creole, not colored I think. Agree it needs to to come out on DVD like yesterday!


@rikyrah: Hadn't thought about Michelle's color being a factor till you said that. Lemme process that for a second because I suspect you're right.



I'll ask again...why only sisters in the YouTube clip do you think?

I'm thrilled you posted this first of all. I'm a light bright with curly hair to boot. First thing that jumps out at me is only women are interviewed in the YouTube clip. I've asked guys whether this same colorism exists with them, and they all say emphatically yes.


I think the "hair factor" that is often tighly coupled with one's s skin tone makes it a bigger issue for women. We're taught that long flowing shiny hair is the beauty standard, therefore if you don't have it you are ugly.



Love to hear others' perspective on this. Can't wait for the show.

1. I LOVE your blog. Jack and Jill says it all. Wish I'd found it sooner...props to my sistafriend Lynne d. Johnson for linking you.


2. Kudos for sticking it to HRC. She needs a dose of humility.
