Our Common Ground With Janice Graham

"Seeing Color: Colorism and the Black Community"    “If you’re black, stay back;if you’re brown, stick around; if you’re yellow, you’re mellow;if you’re white, you’re all right.”  Colorism disadvantages dark-skinned people, while privileging those with lighter skin. Research has linked colorism to smaller incomes, lower marriage rates, longer prison terms and fewer job prospects for darker-skinned people.     ALTERNATIVE, ACTIVIST EMPOWERMENT TALK RADIO URBAN PROGRESSIVE independent talk radio examining global and community issues, events, thought, ideas and perspectives in and about the African-American community.  OUR COMMON GROUND features  guests who bring new ideas, creative and innovative solutions and opportunities to challenge the issues of the day.
