Colourism in North America
Hello,
Your personal analysis of the topic brights great insight to Racial and Gender Oppression of Black, African women. I believe the conversations of colourism to be imperative when speaking about racial oppression across different societies today as it is something almost all women and men of colour deal with to some degree in North America. I think that the report could be strengthen if you were to elaborate on you mention of colourism and how it relates to beauty standards from a global and national standpoint. I am a women of Caribbean descent, and one think I always come back to when speaking about colourism is hair, and how black women to varying degrees are oppressed by having hair that does not align with western beauty standards. This is a subversive way in which women can be controlled by societies in North America as they are often told that their hair is unprofessional, etc. The power of hair and white privledge has come to the forefront especially in the legal system as states such as California are creating laws which protect women of colour from discrimination in employment on the basis of natural hair.
Great job again, and looking forward to seeing the final product!
