Colorism within Dating: Gay and Straight Men- YG, Kodak Black, Chris Brown, Billy Porter, Lil Nas X

What do Black gay and straight men have in common? Colorism…. Colorism in the Black community is real and it goes deeper than just surface-level “preferences.” It’s a form of discrimination based on skin tone, often favoring lighter skin over darker skin, even among people of the same race. And when it comes to dating, those biases can quietly shape who gets chosen, who gets overlooked, and how people are treated in relationships. In this video, we’re breaking down where colorism comes from, how it shows up in modern dating culture, and why it’s important to recognize it both in others and within ourselves.
