Add this to the list of discussions I hate: “I may not have worded it the way he did,” The Blaze’s Tara Setmayer told Lemon. “But I understand where he is coming from. The most racism I ever experienced in my life came from people in the black community from the time I was a little girl—because I’m light skinned, because I have light eyes, because I speak differently, because I’m educated. It was ridiculous.” First, Ms. Setmayer, if you are black and were made fun of by other blacks, thats called colorism, not racism. And kids bully other kids who are different. It happens. The fact that you, a grown woman, are using this decades old baggage as a vehicle for respectability politics makes me throw up a little bit in my mouth. Sincerely, Someone who is about 10 shades lighter than you, with lighter eyes. I see you. Im calling bullshit.
