The Mechanics of Color
Wednesday, 12noon – 2pm PT February 24-, 2016
(re-broadcasted on the next Friday, 2 - 4pm PT <KGGV.FM>)
Beneath the Waves host Gerry Takano
In 1982 American author Alice Walker (Color Purple), coined the
term “colorism” and discussed how color is not synonymous to racism. Skin color is only one mechanism used to
assign, repress and limit individuals to a racial category. Colorism is the dependence of social status on
skin color alone. In order to understand discrimination based on
colorism, differential treatment must not result from racial categorization,
but from the social values associated with skin color.
