SOCIAL VOICE AGAINST BLACK COLORISM
Abstract
In contemporary society, skin color discrimination remains a
pervasive and systemic instrument of social stratification and ideological
division. This study examines how historically engineered constructs of
colorism have instituted rigid social
hierarchies, elevating light-skinned populations to dominant, labor-appropriating classes
while systematically relegating dark-skinned individuals to subordinate,
laboring strata. By reinforcing narratives that associate darkness with
servitude, these ideological frameworks cultivate internalized feelings of
inferiority, unemployment, and marginalization
even within working-class
communities, thereby depriving talented individuals of equitable opportunities.
Furthermore, this research critically deconstructs the political underpinnings
behind the alignment of caste, political power, and color stratification within
our national context. Despite these oppressive structures, numerous
dark-skinned leaders, martyrs, and achievers have historically challenged for
these paradigms, proving that skin color presents no barrier to sacrifice,
heroism, or extraordinary accomplishment. Ultimately, this thesis exposes the behind politics of colorism, dismantling
its socio-political mechanics and articulating an unyielding truth against
institutionalized discrimination.
