I just got through watching the latest episode of Love& Marriage: Huntsville.

I feel shows like Love & Marriage: Huntsville has a unique way of addressing or at least bringing the conversation forth in regards to certain dynamics that can come into play.

Especially down south.

I also think depending on where your mind is set is what you can get out of a TV set.

In a way, I can see how some shows might not be your reality…

However, some shows might be able to provide insight into someone else’s.

With that being said, I can admit I had some reservations about Tiffany’s character (on the show)…

Or I might just have an issue with her last name …lol.

Who knows?

However, with the latest episode (as of this writing) of Season 6 Of Love& Marriage: Huntsville.

I can say that Tiffany allowed me to see a different perspective.

I think that Tiffany had a very interesting way of showing how colorism doesn’t just affect chocolate women it also can have effects on lighter-skinned women as well as bi-racial women.

Even when it comes to dating.

Sometimes. you have certain types of males who just LOVE to taste all the different colors of the rainbow…

Just straight-up buffet style.

Sometimes, these types of guys will tell each color different things depending on the color he is talking to.

Sometimes, that particular color of the rainbow thinks that they are the ONLY color on the rainbow.

Depending on the circumstances, that particular color eventually finds out that this particular type of male has been tasting and READING ALL OF THE RAINBOWS….lol

Sometimes, when it comes to colorism it doesn’t just show up in dating.

It can rear its head in different aspects of society as well.

One of the many issues of colorism is not only does it divides women.

It seems like colorism can also cause a type of shock to certain types of bi-racial women and certain types of lighter-skinned women of a particular mindset.

Sometimes, when we as a society play the game of trying to place a certain type of woman over another with the intent to cause division.

Those same women that society attempted to put down, show that they will not allow anyone to dictate their provision.

That they will continue their mission.

For some, it causes shock waves.

Sidenote: I’ve also noticed the colorism dynamic on the show The Real Housewives Of Potomac.

However, that will be a separate writing piece.

Anywhoo…

Back to the colorism dynamic on Love & Marriage: Huntsville.

I think Tiffany had a unique way of showing that trying to use another woman of a different hue as a coping mechanism is not cool.

As Season 6 has progressed.

I think that Stormi was able to place a mirror in front of Tiffany.

To show Tiffany that she has to deal with her own internal issues first.

I also think Stormi was able to navigate her conversations with Tiffany in a way that made Tiffany realize that it was something within herself she needed to address instead of trying to scapegoat KeKe.

I also think that KeKe (in her own way) was able to set boundaries with Tiffany to make sure that Tiffany knew that it was not okay to use her as a scapegoat.

With this latest episode of LMH, I think that this episode was able to add another piece to the colorism conversation.

One of those pieces is how we as a society play a part in trying to gaslight bi-racial and lighter-skinned women as well.

By moving the goalpost.

You may ask what is the goalpost?

The goalpost is that if a woman looks a certain way or has a certain hair texture she will get treated better.

However, in certain realities regardless of a woman’s looks they all have to watch for the hook.

That is why I’ve come to realize that once mutual respect is established.

The REAL conversations can begin.

Once the real conversations begin then the solutions tend to come in.

Then as the women dissect it.

They realize they have ALL been disrespected.

Regardless of the category society tends to put them in.

It comes a time when certain things have to be put to an end.

May the EFFECTIVE LONG LASTING SOLUTIONS come forth……

Now.

Written and Conceived

And

Dipped In Love,

DaSh’e
