DESCRIPTION:\n	My Answer\n\n	I can't speak for all and I know all black 
	people don't hate talking about colorism. so I will answer with the follow
	ing... the past-the speech\, present-absent concern over future or past\, 
	future- how to solve... the past is simple\, talking about colorism is bla
	ck people talking about black people . But from early 1500s to late 1970s 
	I argue Black people in the usa were not free from white oppression enough
	 to feel free to talk about ourselves among ourselves. before 1865 this wa
	s absolutely true and between sharecropping/prisons/experimentations/crimi
	nal labor environments after 1865 it took over one hundred years to nonvio
	lently overcome that. So\, from my view a majority of black people have on
	ly been free in the usa from 1980.  the present- in the year 2025 what/wh
	o is stopping a black person from talking to another black person about co
	lorism outside their self? no one outside working hours. Many labors tend 
	to have rules on what employees discuss. So whatever the reason today\, th
	e why any black person isn't allowed to talk about colorism among other bl
	ack people are primarily themselves.  For those black people who hate tal
	king about colorism\, they either have bad experiences talking about it an
	d shy away\, or dislike the topic and don't want to. the future- Black peo
	ple from home to home have to rear black children to speak on internal com
	munal issues\, like colorism. second parents and black adults need to make
	 sure black children hear them talking about colorism or other issues in t
	he black populace in the usa\, positively or at least absent vitriol. When
	 we adults argue wildly in front of children we teach them a bad method fo
	r communicating when topics are unpleasant or not easy\n\n\n\n	 \n\n\n\n	
	momentswithmani Original Poster\n\n	Thank you for your contribution. I ju
	st find it weird because black men will gaslight black women when we are t
	he most vocal about colorism\, due to misogynoir playing a role in their p
	rivilege. Black men will view colorism as a preference + claim it’s “a
	ll about character”\, when that same energy isn’t given to darker skin
	ned black women and we either end up waiting years and decades to be chose
	n\, get divorced from our partners\, or we never get married. I rarely see
	 representation of darker skinned black women with a black man who looks l
	ike them and they were together till death does them part.\n\n\n\n	 \n\n\
	n\n	my reply\n\n	@momentswithmani yeah and with so many negative actons to
	 darker skin in our community world wide\, a hard nut to crack\n\n\n\n	 \
