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!"

Colonist Shuffle 

A dance performed in Heathrow Airport when first time American visitors to the UK encounter a local pedestrian head-on. The locals try to pass on the left while the tourist tries to pass on the right resulting in a zig-zagging synchronized jig for a few seconds.
"Man, I was so tired when I got off the plane in London, I did the colonist shuffle three times before I got my UK legs under me."

Coloniume 

What is Coloniume?
Our ultimate goal and effort to create a massive, free coloniume network is summarized in the following structure:

U + ME = “COLONIUME”

You and I conjoin and build a huge free, cohesive, global colony that meets the interests and demands of each of us.

A completely free, decentralized, and government-independent communication network that will be implemented, developed, and expanded by individuals, organizations, and independent non-governmental organizations (NGOs).

The main purpose of launching this network is creating and expanding a kind of completely free, secure, non-governmental and independent communication platform of the existing communication networks, so that it can be censored, restricted and influenced, and at the same time to make it impossible to disable communication and interaction with all communication networks and Internet.

In a general perspective, after its development and expansion, the coloniume will help the internet so that in case of internet network disconnection in any area covered by coloniume and without geographical and political restrictions, it will be possible to exchange information and data locally. And each of the nodes will be able to connect to the Internet and act as a bridge between the local network and the Internet.
U + ME = “COLONIUME”
