Colorism 

The discrimination of African Americans by Skin tone in their own community, usually subconsciously done, as most Blacks dont realize they're doing it until some dumb rapper or famous person makes a stupid untrue statement about darker toned women.

Perpetuated during slavery and by the media which seems to suggest lighter skin females to be of a higher stance than darker ones.

Perpetuated by rappers who often show more lighter skinned women in videos and hardly any darker ones.

Perpetuated by some Black men who treat lighter skinned females in a higher regard than darker toned ones.

An untrue Inplication that darker skin girls cannot be as fine as lighter ones. Bullshit.
Example of statements made for colorism

1.(rapper) "She gotta be a thick lightskinned redbone...long hair..."

2. "Dang you cute... for a dark skinned girl."

3. "Lightskinned girls just way finer! I dont want no dark girl!"

True colours 

True colours is a really nice compliment! You usually say it to people who stand out and show there thoughts and feelings! It can also be an insult. You could say to someone that there true colours are showing or shining through. This means they might be pretending to be nice but inside are not!
Positive way : Emily your true colours are showing!
Thank you Kate
Negative way : Draven your true colours are showing I cannot believe you!
I'm so sorry Kate!
