Shadeism is defined as the discrimination against an individual on the basis of their skin tone. If history is a true indicator, one has to look at the days of slavery. A prime example of this would be the division of those who were light skinned and those who were dark skinned. The lighter toned people were considered to be far more beautiful than that of their darker counter parts. As a result, the lighter skinned people either worked closer to or inside the house. On the other hand, those who were darker, worked in the field and unlike their counterparts, had to sleep in shacks on plantation grounds.

This week we have Jordyn on our episode, to break down and dissect this issue deeper.
