Nope.
Kudos to the activists working to change that.
Darker complected peoples are beautiful and should be given equal consideration in interpersonal relationships and economic opportunities.
I’m coming back brown or black in the next life.

She’s more likely to get a show on MSNBC than actually be condemned for racism.

We live in a world where Monty Python comedy routines predicted stuff actually going on now. Where Yes, Minister ./ Yes, Prime Minister still speaks volumes. But where Allo, Allo and Von Clump’s Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies is passé.
Just another deranged lefty.
All colors are beautiful.

The problem of course being is that there are always enough of these nutters on the Left to allow the New Right to claim that they have to get more extreme themselves to fight this Culture War To Save The Republic.
Hence Reaction will continue to be the order of the day while the real issues go unaddressed.

Culture wars are all we have left
This shouldn’t surprise anyone considering what we see from leftist kooks every day.

Yes.
The limiting of physical attractiveness to fair complected individuals is nuts. Kudos to those activists working to change that perception.
As for “doctor”, she’s calling white peoples nuts when she herself comes from a culture that elevates the lighter complected.
Really?

Yes…progressives always underestimate the strength of the backlash to change…conservatives always underestimate the amount of support they have to resist the change.
A negative feedback loop that will reinforce itself unless some other common enemy pops up to short circuit it.
I am going back in history, though, to see if there was a similar time in our history where the right wing has decided to eagerly throw away their traditional resistance to using legislation to foster cultural aims and allied the power of government to populism.
Essentially expressing a willingness to do that which the most ardent leftists only dreamed of doing but never actually did to the degree the right feared…but now they might.

Correct, this is why these type of stories circulate throughout the CEC.
When one believes the other side to be not only wrong, but evil, it’s hard to imagine a situation where the sides would have a common enemy.
But one never knows…

There might be some analogues of this to be found in the 1840’-1850’s where the tit for tat politics of the day led to paralysis and then crises.
I’d argue it’s not that progressives underestimate the backlash… it’s that they simply don’t care. The hallmark of progressives is pushing ideas through the backlash. There hasn’t been a single major social change, pushed by progressives, that wasn’t met with backlash. Civil War was a backlash, Compromise of 1877 was a backlash. Jim Crow was a backlash, war on drugs was a backlash, banning gay marriage was a backlash, banning crt is a backlash.
