I’m glad we’re living in a time where we are openly discussing the internal discrimination, colorism, and self-hate many black have towards each other based on skin tone. The video from Gabby’s fan was truly inspiring and uplifting. Shoutout to Tamron for facilitating discussions like this and thank you Gabrielle for sharing👏🏽🥰👸🏽👸🏽👍🏽

@@aprilkatie6752 Internal Discrimination to mean is when you discriminate against others based on things you don't like about yourself because people have made fun of you or made you feel bad about things like your complexion, hair, figure, etc. Example, some black people vehemently desire to have light skin children, with hopes that they also have "good hair", because they feel that looks better and prettier than dark skin, with tight coils. Just my opinion 🤷🏽

I doubt it is mean., unless it’s a mixed marriage.. Her and Wade are both brown/ darker skinned.. I doubt beautiful Kavia’s complexion was such a revelation..🤷🏽‍♀️

That sweet message made me cry, I always loved Gabrielle since "Deliver us from Eva" (one of my favourite movies). She represented and was actually good at her job, so beautiful and strong. Love from South Africa.

I am such a Gabby fan. She lives Her life and does not change to fit other peoples opinions of her. Just keep being a good person.

Two beautiful, inteigent women of success. Tamron is an excellent example of a TV host. She is second to none in her field. Thanks for recognizing Allison Payne Tamron. May she REST IN going from labor to reward. Truly a professional.

She is such a beautiful person inside and out. You can't dim her light so haters stop trying.

It probably was comments from her side of the family, while Gabrielle is brown skinned Dwayne is dark skinned.

Some of the things that happens you always think it will never happen to me until it does. Luckily for us we have women who like Gabriel who are courageous to speak their story. You can refer to someone to be able able to understand your journey. When I was to told you have PCOS we can do something about it, I started following any infertility story I never knew I will diagnosed with adenomyosis which has made it impossible for me to conceive. Your vulnerability give me hope and strength in my infertility journey.

Is it worse than giving birth and then only for the baby to die or born as still born?

I'm so grateful for beautiful, intelligent, and outspoken women such as Gabrielle Union and Tamron Hall. Issues such as colorism are just as prevalent as racism but for ages people have avoided the elephant in the room. Speaking about this issue brings healing to so many communities, black, Asian, Hispanic and Latino, Creole and many other groups. I also appreciate the honest talk around shaming mothers which needs to be brought to an end.

She is so beautiful, love her

"I" am the biggest Gabrielle fan. Love her, love her, love her! She's absolutely wise, absolutely talented, and absolutely gorgeous. I'm in my 60's and so proud of the absolutely awesome role model she is to ALL of us, but most especially our children, and even more especially our Black girls. Absolutely fabulous! she is.

# BROWN SKIN GIRL... # I LOVE MY BLACK SKIN # MY BLACK SKINNED DAUGHTER IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS

This is so beautiful 😍

Respect. I have no idea what the situation is elsewhere, but in my country, Ethiopia, people look at infants back ear to check their true skin color. I don't even know how scientifically correct it is, but their doing that has nothing to do with discriminating children based on their skin color. Skin color is not an issue here.

My grand-daughter was born with light skin. Family members were looking @ her ears to see if she would keep that light skin!???

That was done with all of the babies in our family but not for those reason. We were just like the thought of how the body works. Being able to tell the shade the baby was going to have. But the babies in our family was already being loved on regardless of the shades. And I thought that was down in other family 🤷🏽‍♀️

We love her. Kav, is not impressed!

Why do people say that not back in the day there were plenty of brown skin girls. That's not true. If you talking about 1970 but not even when Gabrielle Union was younger. She is on the list of brown skin girls from back in the day, Brandy, Janet Jackson, Nia Long, Patti Label, model N.Campbell, THe girl from 227 Regina, and the list goes on and on and these were working dark skinned women. Like STOP

The point Falcon was making was you didn't see brown-brown girls on the cover of fashion magazines, commercials, newspapers, mainstream movies etc. Thank goodness for Ebony, Jet, and Essence for constantly celebrating ALL aspects of Black culture. There were plenty of brown-skinned girls but they werent getting the checks or opportunities they are today. Ask Viola Davis, Alfre Woodard, or Angela Bassett about their struggles. As Oprah often says when you are excellent you cannot be denied --eventually those doors will open. Sidney Poitier and Bill Cosby had more opportunities back in the day then their female counterparts. That is what made Diahnn Carroll in "Julia" so groundbreaking and Nichelle Nichols as Lt. Uhura in Star Trek. They kicked it off for sisters in prime time with non-traditional roles. Hollywood used to love to keep an apron on us or have us playing some chick on the corner. I celebrate and cherish the pioneers, especially Ms. Cicely! All Hail the Queen!

Can you really achieve your way out of colorism? Because I'm definitely tired. I definitely have had issues with colorism as a brown girl. I'm terrified of "failing" as a brown girl or not looking biracial. I just want to be fit in and be accepted. That terrifies me!!

That's deep

Kaviaa Have really made Her Mommy Gabrielle Union truly step into her full Blackeness! Yes, that baby girl did. I said what I said, and don't care who gets into their feelings about it! So many Black Women like Gabrielle Union "soften" their Blackness so they won't be seen in a Negative Light. The real Negative Light, is being watered down to Fit In so to speak. To Hell with that, I would never water down my blackness for a Soul!

First off, I love Gab and Tam... and I'm glad they are touching on the topic of colorism...BUT let's take the conversation further... We live in a society where some people just don't appreciate beautiful brown skin.. People in general don't realize that there's some dark Asians and South east Indian people out there. My dad is very chocolate like Tamron (yes, that dark) and my mom is fair skin and you get this caramel ( me! lol) and I definitely don't see people like me on television, let alone an Asian person (if we really wanna talk about diversity) It's VERY triggering when I hear the topic of colorism (but the discussion is needed) cause it affects an Asian person like me too!

Yep people actually check babies ears and knuckles to say what their true colour shade would be. This happens in 2021 within families

What people did that?
