My nana saying "EW HE SO DARK" everytime we watch a tyler perry movie with Lance Gross in it, age??? cuz she been doing that my whole life. I didn't experience the colorism, but that definitely did teach me that it was ok to not like dark skin at a young age

From elementary to high school, I heard variations of "you would be prettier if you were lighter" from guys and girls would tell me that I shouldn't wear bright colors because I was "too dark" for them.

skin compared to dirt in at age 5/6, lighter skinned peers had more respect and were complimented more in elementary school. skin whitening creams when visiting extended family as gifts. the list goes on and on
