Colorism in the African American Community is interest if mine. My main argument would be, why is it a big issue, and how is it affecting younger generations.

In this famous television shows like this in the photo above, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, The switched out a character in the show into a woman with a lighter complexion.

Colorism is an exciting topic for me because I am curious to know where this idea that lighter is better rooted. It is worse than racism. In my research, I found a few blogs expressing how they feel about the topic. To support my argument, I will need evidence of people affected by it. Some counter-arguments would be me saying that colorism does not affect the black community. Which is that colorism is more significant than racism, or is colorism a form of racism. A lot of people are affected by this. It also seems like people are afraid to talk about this topic. The biggest challenge is finding a counter-argument to go with my argument. Many celebrities follow this concept by bleaching their skin to make themself look “prettier” or to fit in in the entertainment industry. Ther are plenty more examples of colorism in our community, also when women or men with a lighter complexion get hired more often than people of darker skin. In this famous television shows like this in the photo above, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, The switched out a character in the show into a woman with a lighter complexion.

Even though there was nothing wrong with the first Aunt Vivian, the producers thought they would make a better-looking family with a bright skin woman. Colorism is an unattractive trait that our black community has, and it stretches all across many situations.
