This online video course episode examines the role of colorism and its profound impact on Blackness, Whiteness, race, and racism in the United States. Through guided dialogue and critical analysis, the course traces how hierarchies of skin tone operate as internal extensions of White supremacy—shaping identity, access, belonging, and harm both within and beyond Black communities. Participants are invited to understand colorism not as a superficial bias, but as a structural and psychological mechanism that reinforces racial domination while fragmenting solidarity among people of color. The course also explores how Black people and other non-White groups can internalize the psychological illnesses of White supremacy, anti-non-Whiteness, and anti-Blackness. These internalizations are examined as survival responses to systemic oppression, rather than individual moral failings. Learners are guided through a trauma-informed framework that helps distinguish adaptation from pathology, and awareness from blame, offering tools to recognize and interrupt the reproduction of harm within marginalized communities. Finally, this video course addresses the very real dangers associated with confronting White supremacy directly—including social punishment, professional retaliation, isolation, and state-sanctioned violence. Rather than romanticizing resistance, the episode provides a sober, grounded analysis of the costs of truth-telling in a society structurally invested in denial. Participants are encouraged to think critically not only about whether to challenge White supremacy, but how to do so in ways that prioritize collective care, strategic protection, sustainability, and long-term liberation.
