Colorism. Colorism is essentially demeaning a persons integrity based on the sole fact that they have certain features that you do not agree with. Essentially what I'm really trying to say, is that colorism is a form of discrimination based on skin color. We, as a human race are currently in the year 2014, quickly approaching the year 2015. If you had to guess how long would it take for one individual to disregard a persons skin color and to truly accept the person they really are. At one point or another we have all witnessed,heard about, and were even apart of a situation that involved a persons skin tone. Its really sad to think about how many people who don't know the true meaning of life. What I mean by that is, people feel like they need to demean a certain color or even race to feel superior or even better than that group. My case and point being, two men who felt the need to discriminate and even disregard their fellow employees. Donald Sterling being the first and more recently the Atlanta Hawks General Manager Danny Ferry. These men felt the need to talk about 'black people' in a very inappropriate manner and they lost any respect people did have for them. Colorism. Colorism is still in a full effect to this very day, and it doesn't seem like it'll die down one bit.
