I just can't stay away (I promise I'm not a stalker!). Your writing is so on point and always goes right the heart of the matter. Colorism and featurism are thorns in my sides as well. I stopped watching Basketball Wives for that very reason but now I'd like to tune in for OG after reading your article. It always feels good when someone stand up to colorism bullies and holds their own. I remember Shaunie being called out about this a few years back and she gave a sad response, something like because she was previously married to Shaq she couldn't be a colorist which was an insane perspective. Thanks for taking the time to break this down because it deserves as much attention as racism.
