Colorism. A topic which has been going on for years. Not matter what color you are, there have always been issues where one race refuses to associate with the other.

This link is an article written by DeNeen Brown from Washington Post. Although this article is about four pages, it is a very interesting topic and article to read about. In this article, Brown asked people of different races what is their definition of a perfect person. She starts off talking about Michael Jackson's skin change. It was due to a disease that caused Michael to have lighter complexion. However, other people thought differently and assumed he wanted to be a white person. Then, she ends the article by making the reader have some pride for their own race and to not let race get in the way of things.
