Baby True is biracial. Her father is NBA player Tristan Thompson , who is Black. As such, True is notably darker than her mom. Because the comments have been deleted, we can’t know for sure exactly what was said that triggered Khloé’s tweets. But I don’t need to see them to understand how anti-Blackness works. The idea that darker skin is less beautiful is a nearly universal symptom of anti-Black racism. It is evident in various cultures around the world, including ours. That so many people feel comfortable criticizing the skin tone of an infant (regardless of her parents being famous) on a public platform is evidence of how pervasive this way of thinking is. While it’s admirable that Kardashian is standing up for her daughter, it’s important that we name the things that seek to tear us down.
