DEFINITION OF RACISM
From https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism
"Racism is the belief in the superiority of one race over another. It may also include prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone because they are of a different race or ethnicity, or the belief that members of different races or ethnicities should be treated differently.[1][2][3] Modern variants are often based in social perceptions of biological differences between peoples. These can take the form of social actions, practices or beliefs, or political systems that consider different races to be ranked as inherently superior or inferior to each other, based on presumed shared inheritable traits, abilities, or qualities.[2][4][5]"
****
DEFINITION OF COLORISM
From https://www.dictionary.com/e/historical-current-events/colorism/
"Colorism is a form of racial discrimination based on the shade of an individual's skin tone, typically favoring lighter skin. It can occur both within a specific ethnic group and across ethnic groups."

"Just need black men to listen. All shades are beautiful not just redbone or light! Thank you beyonce! Our men keep colorism alive! Too many songs about redbone and light eyes instead of loving women that look like them! It's not a preference if you deny beauty in the opposite of what you like! Also if you hate women of your color you hate yourself not a strong man!"

22. I can't think of a good username
"Good job Beyoncรฉ, for not letting your daughter grow up hating herself and thinking she's ugly and not worthy of things because of her skin color. Too many black beauty influencers and just grown black women in general out there with big followings being like "I'm mixed with white so I'm not entirely black", "I'm half black and at least I don't have nappy hair" or "Nothing about me is black" and sending wrong messages of self-hatred to younger audiences."

23. anthyrose2
"This song has a good message, but what bothers me is that no one paid attention until Beyonce sang it. India Arie has been singing positive and uplifting songs like this literally since she began her career. She is a "Brown Skinned Girl" who was always celebrating her dark skin and features, yet for some reason, no one ever seems to pay attention or find value in the message until Beyonce sings it. And no, this is NOT in any way shape or form a dig at Beyonce, but it's really sad how some people are claiming that "no one" ever sang about this before. There are TONS of "Brown Skinned Girl" musicians who have celebrated their dark skin and kinky hair, yet ironically they get completely ignored because they are not "light skinned". Why is it that messages of empowerment for us have to be delivered by the Beyonce's and the Zendaya's and the Tracy Ellis Ross's before we listen?"

We’ve been devalued, degraded, and told that we’re not beautiful so long by our own, and by outsiders. That same hate we received for all of these years has been internalized for some of us.

Reaction To Beyonce’s ‘Brown Skin Girl’
ET Canada, Published on Jul 23, 2019
1. PTX 5
"My own grandma, a light skin black woman with curly hair used to say "did God create these people?" when she sees someone with dark dark skin. I remembered saying to her as 4-5 years old kid "what about me?" She used to say, you're darker than us, but you're not dark skin and you have curly beautiful hair just like us. I remember thinking she must like my sister and brothers more than me because they look like her. Colorism within our own household, our own community, cut deeper than anyone else hating us for our beautiful melanin.#blckskingirl#✊๐ฝ#❤ urself"

A light skin child in my 5th grade class called another student blackie, and the child began to cry. I said some things, and taught a lesson in my class that day the students will never forget as long as they live. When l finished the student that called the student out of her name was sad. That is all l can say! I didn't go for that foolishness as long as l was teaching, that and bullying was not tolerated in my classroom."

"Perhaps Diary of wealth asked that question because what is meant by "brown" in the descriptor "brown skin" differs in various cultures throughout the world
In Jamaica (and perhaps in some other Caribbean countries) "browning" means a (Black) "person who is mixed race with light skin." http://jamaicanpatwah.com/term/Browning/928#.XTxCWuhKi70
That said, Beyonce is African American (like me) and is using an African American definition for the skin color "brown". When African Americans say that someone has brown skin, we don't usually mean that that person is light skinned. But we also can specify different gradations of brown such as "light brown", "brown", and "dark brown"
While the lyrics of Beyonce's song suggests that she was probably mostly uplifting darker brown skin females, I think that "Brown Skin Girl" can be celebrated by people whose skin color is brown Period. (using the African American definition). That means that I'm in team inclusive because I'm happy that other people who are brown skinned (such as some Asians, Latinos, Melanesians, and some people from the Middle East) also are uplifted by Beyonce's song "Brown Skin Girl"."
