  • The Cost of Color - Contexts
    https://contexts.org/articles/the-cost-of-color

    At the risk of stating the obvious, Black people’s skin tones are brighter and darker shades of brown, not a homogenous blob of black. These skin tone differences hold historical and contemporary significance as markers of distinction tied to unequal treatment. Light-skinned Blacks have tended to gain social advantages including access to more resources and higher social prestige than dark-skinned Blacks.

    Ellis Monk highlights this variation in the American Journal of Sociology. He examines the relationship between skin tone, discrimination, and health for U.S.-born Blacks. Monk finds that darker-skinned Blacks report more perceived everyday discrimination by both Whites and Blacks, but the patterns differ across racial groups. The darker a persons’ skin, the more they perceive discrimination from Whites. However, people with the lightest and darkest skin tones report more discrimination from Blacks. Those with a medium tone report less discrimination across the board.
