hi guys welcome to Claud naan against colorism I wanted to talk about the presidential debates today colorism finally surfaced in the American presidential debate I don't know who noticed the question that was asked so finally America is becoming aware of colorism not 100% but it's pretty good so I mean the whole thing about women's Freedom women's suffrage has been playing a role whereas president former president Trump or um presidential candidate Donald Trump has been the I guess the one who is training these women how to debate basically because if we remember correctly um in 2016 um Hillary went against Donald Trump um and then um now Kam Camala Harris so he's training women to become leaders of politicians but in my opinion um um I still think uh this current um uh political female leader is very weak and um I and I'm going to address the colorism issue so apparently it wasn't even Trump who asked the question because I guess the questions are being asked so one of the questionnaires asked her about assuming the black identity when she had in Prior years claim that she's not black and this is really important because um one of the countries that are one of the PIV pivotal issues with the immigration is my homeland of Haiti and of course I you know I don't agree with everything that Haitian people do in fact I am battling against the colorism in Haitian communities so in Haitian communities if you're really fair skinned you they don't people who are of really fair skin who are colorist they will not consider themselves as blacks they will identify as white especially since the people will worship them and label them white as a a word of affectionate of a of affection okay um so when this was raised to this woman who had once claimed not to be white black I really I mean this was really exciting because then it reminds you of Tiger Woods if you remember when um Tiger Woods was being assimilated to as a black man he made it very clear that he is Asian that he's not black okay so we know that Kamala Harris's Jamaican background puts her in the Caribbean where colorism is really prevalent I mean I even made a a show not too long ago about a um lightskinned sort of uh Jamaican man going to Haiti and promoting colorism using his wife to down to degrade dark skinn Haitian women so Kamala Harris um is very dangerous for us dark skinned women who have been in oppression particular like because men like if you think of male female roles you know how men may oppress women one of the main ways that Haitian men oppress or abuse women without necessarily being in relationships with them is by using light-skinned women to put them down okay and the fact is like me for example I live within a relatively Haitian Community um is mixed Caribbean but nonetheless I'm close enough in proximity to Asians to be able to say like you know what if Haitians like did not put down or look down on dark skinn women then I would have been able to pay for services such as my lawn getting done or you know getting my house pressure washed I would not have to go through you know like I have to basically search for white communities to get my help to get assistance because I'm more likely to get help from a white service provider than I will from a Haitian service provider because of colorism and yet they will provide service for light-skinned women because they don't consider me as human or as um the or as um meriting any status class in society so for Kamala Harris to have used the black identity when she had denied it at first is really an offense to black people but particularly to black women who have been oppressed and and victims of colorism and then to imagine that this is going to be our leader so to to have a light skin or mixed race um female leader in a country that is so racist one who is married to a white man one whose hair is like you know the soft curls whereas we are constantly oppressed for our dark dark skin constantly oppressed for coarse hair and you know you know for the disadvantage of hair you know one of the things that um like for example I think Latinos or M women use against black women is the long soft European style hair as they use men to put us down like even today I found like a Spanish um uh uh pamphlet from one of those religious groups you know light-skinned women M Spanish apparently women who think that they are better than me and using me religion to put me down like telling me that I'm going to hell because like you know and you think why are they going to tell you that you're going to hell very easy because you're a dark skinned woman that they will not accept in their churches or for that matter to they don't even allow you to have a family if they even see that you have the opportunity to have a family they will go to that man to destroy you so that they can um they rather acquire that man for themselves so that they can put you down even if that man is within your own culture you're not going to their culture why would you go to their culture they don't like you so this is the oppression that we dark skinned women have from those mixed race women I'm not saying all mixed race women are like that because a lot of mixed race women that I've met like when I was much younger were pretty tolerant and um would fight but most of the but I have found like particularly Dominican women they will um promote putting me down as a dark skinned woman and other women will put me down as a dark skinned women Jamaican women have things against our hair so lightskinned Jamaican women you know they always are proposing to help me with my hair because there's a scorn against our dark skin um people's um hair texture hair length and hair um in in general so I am so glad that America is finally Awakening to this to this oppression of dark skinned women of black women okay in all of the Americas that we are not aware of because a lot of people will come to America and claim to be black so that they can weap the benefits such as acquiring leadership to continue to oppress us uh we Haitians a lot of us Haitians like me I am oppressed by Dominican people um particularly those who are coming from the island okay now in the United States they may not necessarily show that but my my experience in my youth with Dominicans was that of hypocrisy like twoo faced you know they will pretend so that they can get a you know a head start over you so then they could put you down and the next thing you know that you will live a life of enslavement okay because of your dark skin color before them okay now do I find that with other Hispanics other Hispanics maybe do not have the kind of proximity to me okay as far as Haitian person to be able to do that so they won't do it they won't do it because in America I can always fight for my rights but I it has happened in Dominicans because they claimed the black umbrella it is a very dangerous thing when you find a mixed woman claiming to be white black okay in America because if they cannot claim to be black 100% and fight for you then they are going to oppress you and it is worse than the clux plan the oppression of mixed R people in the Caribbean in my experience as a Haitian woman because they will use you they will enslave you without you even knowing it it's the new age racism the new age enslavement because they've always been doing that if you think of the rest TC in Haiti most of the rest TC in Haiti are living and serving light-skinned mixed molat people in Haiti including Dominicans okay if so because in the Dominic Republic those um Dominicans those mixed race Dominicans they are considered as Whites by Haitian people all right so they will oppress us they will put us down they will scorn us even in America and if we are making one step ahead they will make sure that they push us back and I have this as oneand experience so when I see Kamala Harris taking on the black name it is the clu clux Clan you know disguising oneself as black to come and oppress us as um black women so I am glad to see that America is waking up to colorism understanding colorism all right and um Donald Trump and you know I you know Donald Trump you know yeah he is training these women and you know like you know in his presidency um well at least in his candidacy we are seeing this you know because me for example I am safer in a
