Interracial Couples in Christmas Photo

[Pwent]

A black actor's holiday photograph sparked a social media backlash over colorism - because some people thought a black woman with a dark complexion looked like she was being excluded from a group of lighter-skinned women.

Actor and model Lance Gross, who is best known for his role on the TBS sitcom Tyler Perry's House of Payne, posted the holiday photo of himself and his wife Rebecca Jefferson and their seven friends to his Twitter.

Everyone in the image is paired up, except for one woman who is sitting off to the side with a look of disinterest on her face.

It sparked a fierce debate with some social media users quick to accuse Gross of colorism because the woman concerned is the only one without a partner, is on the fringes of the group and is darker skinned than the other women.

One commenter wrote: 'This picture says white supremacy has won.'

The left continues eating itself, now black men are also colorist oppressors.

It's not that she's dark, she's just ugly.

Good God it just never ends.

Quite the opposite. This picture proves black supremacy won. Look at all the brothas with white or light skin chicks.

This is stupid. There is no telling why she is positioned the way she is and looks the way she does. People win when they stop caring about racial differences, not white supremacy.

Wtf?? Black white supremacists??

first, white gay men got moved to the oppressor group

now black guys with light skinned girls got moved to the opressor group

ive been trying to explain they follow critical theory, which by design never ends. they HAVE to find something to complain about. it will not end, im not joking

Any time an article mentions "social media backlash" it's 100% guaranteed to be about some whiny bullshit.

I wonder if Shaun King will weigh in on this

now black guys with light skinned girls got moved to the opressor group

eventually, anyone who isnt a trans-non-binary dark skinned black xir with a disability, will need to check their privilege

Unfortunately things do seem to be heading that way.

Well we have a gay, British, black dick sucking Jew as the poster child of American white nationalism, why not?

 

[HereticBD]

Actually, I think it proves that black supremacy won.
