Ever heard the phrase, 'I’m not racist, I have a Black friend'? Well the same logic may just apply to colourism too! Join Fola and Rukiya as they explore the complexities of colourism, discussing how some men who befriend dark-skinned women may still hold colourist views. And together, they unpack why proximity to dark-skinned women doesn’t necessarily mean a man is free from the biases and preferences that fuel colourism.
