So racism is prejudice, discrimination or antagonism directed at us against a person or group based on their perceived racial or ethnic status.
It involves systems of power and belief in the superior superiority of one race or over another.
Now colorism is discrimination or preferential treatment, excuse me, based solely on the lightness or darkness of a person's skin tone.
It typically favors lighter skin over darker skin.
It operates both within specific racial groups and across different groups.
What that basically says in relation to the question is my opinion.
Because racism, it can be all encompassing.
And hey, we just don't like you because you different.
And I get that.
But see, part of it for me is more of a blanket type statement.

Hey man, because I am lighter than AG, I will benefit better in the system simply because in this current system that we live in, simply because he's darker than me.
And I am more trustworthy because of the color of my skin to certain people.
They still may not like me.
But because I'm lighter, they may feel like he may be a little bit closer to us.
Even though in the grand scheme of things, he ain't.
But we just don't like those dark guys.
