visibilityofcolor:

Seriously if your blog does not acknowledge colorism/white
passing privilege and you get offended when people bring those things up then
don’t present your blog as a space for poc, at least not dark poc. 

Colorism is something that darker people of color have to
deal with.

White passing privilege is an actual thing.

I’m tired of people trying to ignore these two things. Just
say you don’t care about darker skin poc.

LIKE, don’t call someone racist for calling out colorism, or
bringing up how darker poc are poorly represented in media verses lighter
skinned/white passing people of color.

Like do you know how awful it is to call dark/non-white
passing poc racist  for bringing up how colorism affects us or how in media/society we’re
poorly represented/ignored in favor of white passing people.

Like miss me with “this is a safe space for poc” if you aren’t
brave enough to talk about things that affect people within our community.
