Colorism Chronicles: Actress Denyce Lawton Sounds Off On Black Folks Belittling “Biracial” And Light-Skinned Women
Denyce Lawton Asks Black People To Stop Shaming Mixed And Lighter Skinned Black Women
Actress Denyce Lawton is a Korean and Black sista and she’s FED UP over colorism within the Black community. We assume this is something she’s experiencing, because her message addresses both mixed and light-skinned folks being bullied for not being “Black enough”.
Denyce asks fellow Black women and men to stop color shaming folks, keep the same energy we gave Barack Obama, and quit the self-hate.

Denyce’s message prompted replies in comments, with lighter skinned women cosigning her message. Like this one:
“TOTALLY AGREE!! I don’t know about colorism.. but I’m tired of constantly having to prove my blackness because my skin isn’t dark and my hair isn’t kinky. I love dark skin women and I think that the hate you all receive from men and other races you take out on your fellow black woman and we are here for you sis! Include us so we can all be family and help each other overcome actual racism that faces all of us.”
But others seem to disagree and think Denyce is being dramatic in her message.
“Yes light-skinned people get teased too, but letโs not pretend itโs the same as what dark-skinned people had to go through. ๐คฆ๐ฝโโ๏ธ๐คฆ๐ฝโโ๏ธ๐คฆ๐ฝโโ๏ธ๐คฆ๐ฝโโ๏ธ Yโall sound like white ppl screaming โall lives matterโ.
