Don Lemon criticized white women on social media for weighing in on issues of racism and the Meghan Markle interview, telling them they are "not relevant anymore." The hosts discuss the grouping of Meghan Markle and Colin Kaepernick as the new "faces of Black America." They also feature a clip of Sean King discussing "light-skinned privilege" and how it is used to make certain activists more relatable to white audiences.
A segment from Oprah features light-skinned women discussing the bullying and isolation they faced from darker-skinned peers. The hosts then pivot to Hollywood casting tropes, noting that light-skinned actresses like Halle Berry often get "sex symbol" roles but are rarely cast in "motherly" roles, which are typically reserved for darker-skinned actresses.
Sean King acknowledges that he benefits from "light-skinned privilege," which he claims makes him more relatable in white spaces. This "colorism" is discussed as a real discriminatory factor within the black community, potentially contributing to the friction between King and the darker-skinned DeRay McKesson.
