A Nigerian woman shared her experience on a popular social media platform after a man barged into her Instagram DMs to criticize her complexion.
The man accused her of looking 'black' and even suggested she had used black polish on her skin.
The lady, who posted a recent photo of herself, received the derogatory message from the man despite explaining that the photo was taken about three years ago.
His unwarranted criticism sparked a conversation online, drawing attention to the pervasive problem of colorism—discrimination based on skin color—within communities.
The lady’s post resonated with many users, leading to a flood of comments. Some people expressed their support for her, while others shared their own experiences with similar prejudices.
This incident serves as a reminder of the harmful impact of colorist remarks and the need for greater awareness and sensitivity regarding issues of race and complexion on social media platforms.
