    Colourism is everywhere. Even in the black community. Dianne, girl thanks for bringing out this issue so well.

    Pretty for a dark skin girl😔That one always hurt

    you know after 5 season I think I'm finally starting to understand Diane the reason why she's so harsh majority of the time it is because she trying to figure out who she is

    The most saddest of this truth is that its primarily our own race of black people that have issues with darker skinned black people.
  • I'm a dark skinned woman with a mixed race daughter. Family members who had no time for me are falling over themselves to get to my baby. She's pale with straight hair. I know they are glad she doesn't look like me. Colourism is real. I spent my teenage years using nail polish remover trying to scrub my skin off. I wish I had been as smart and strong as Diane.

    I never understood the whole “dark skin women can’t wear red lipstick” thing to me they’re the ones who look most beautiful with it on.

    A show this woke lasted this long on TV. Im impressed. These conversations are divisive, but needed. Wish the Latin community would do the same. Alot of colorism there too.

    My mom and I watched this together and she started crying and hugging me for 30 minutes asking me if I ever felt that way and I told her "All my life". I'm 30 and the darkest in my family and some of my own family members would call me "blackie". This has always hurt me especially when it came to my siblings and I going to the same school and being told that I couldn't be related to my lighter siblings because we didn't look the same, also being told my guys that my sisters were cuter than me because of their complexion. I have grown to love my skin and I'm soooo glad that something like this exists to teach everyone, dark or light, how unknowingly cruel the world can be.
  • I had ppl verbally tell me what color clothes ppl my skin color should wear. Mind yo business son. Mind you, I never asked

    I have a dark skinned little girl and I'm thankful that at 10 she loves her skin tone and knows how beautiful it is.

    I watched this episode last night and it was extremely powerful and well written...great performances by the entire cast...this show continues to raise the bar and Marsai Martin is without a doubt, one of the best younger actresses on television right now...the sky's the limit with this young lady
  • @saraojut4697
    I felt the “You’re pretty for a dark skin girl” That ish still gets to me. Love Blackish for this!!!
  • @deedeehun1705
    I was waiting for this episode for a long long time! Colorism has caused so much pain in so many families, expecially between siblings!
  • @lamoskgr
    I love her character. This is the story of my life. I'm the darkest in my family. I was the only Black person in my school. I was always the best friend, never the girlfriend. I was always "cute for a dark-skinned girl". I loved that Diane stood up for herself ❤️❤️
  • @witchplease9695
    My future daughter will be Dark skinned and my husband and I can't wait to show her how beautiful she is. Dark skin is lovely and always will be.
