#paperbagtest

Excellent art by @roevision 👌🏾 This past Thursday I had my Senior Portfolio Review and I decided to share a few of my 15 pieces. My concept for my portfolio was colorism from my point of view. This next piece shows the method of discrimination practiced within the African American community. As black people we should all already know the history about the Brown Paper Bag test. . . #supportblackart #roevision #brownpaperbagtest #digitalart #colorism #supportblackartists #paperbagtest #blackart #portfolio #africanamericanart #blackisbeautiful https://www.instagram.com/p/BrTme6njMfW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wrkwhfzapxrs

Have you heard of the #PaperBagTest ? Well we took it to a whole new level. . . . In the 40’s 50’s & 60’s blacks discriminated against each other with what they called the paper bag test. If your skin was darker than a paper bag, you weren't permitted to join countless social & political groups. This black on black social hierarchy even permeated in the black church. Our shoot today, “The Paper Bag Test Challenge” is meant to show a stark contrast and focus a light-hearted look on this terrible legacy of the black community in America. Challenge Requirement: Items Needed for challenge: Melanin, Paper Bags, Staples & Tape Create Your Look, Photograph it & Post with the hashtags #PaperBagTestChallenge #PaperBagTest . #Photographer @smart_image #Makeup & #Design @alimaindustries #YourBlackIsBeautiful #blackisbeautiful #womensday #beauty #glammakeup #queen #melanin #picoftheday #instagood #pictureoftheday #studio #model #modeling #Actress #beauty #blackgirlmagic #potd #modellife #Alimaindustries #beautymakeup #creative #dearblackgirl #atlantamodel #blackgirlsrock (at Atlanta, GA area) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuxkzkEAlJS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=mma30ao4fo4h
