A deep dive into colorism begins with an analysis of the ABC television show Mixed-ish, a spin-off of Black-ish. The show's premise involves a family moving from a commune to the suburbs in the 1980s, highlighting the historical lack of mixed-race role models. The discussion notes a shift in media terminology where figures like Barack Obama and Meghan Markle are now being explicitly labeled as mixed rather than simply black.
The hosts critique the show Black-ish as a tool of corporate propaganda, specifically citing an episode sponsored by Procter & Gamble. They examine clips involving "white guilt" and the concept of being "black-ish," which they interpret as a term for black individuals who have integrated into white society. The segment explores how these media portrayals push specific race-based agendas and social engineering.
