2 ... In socialology: .... The colorful arrays of cultural expressionism from a society of people.

Something that we all are. Colored does not just mean Black anymore, that is only a stereotype. Here's a list of what color a race is associated with:
European-Americans=White
African-Americans=Black
Hispanic-Americans=Brown
Native Americans=Red
Asian-Americans=Yellow
European-Americans=White
African-Americans=Black
Hispanic-Americans=Brown
Native Americans=Red
Asian-Americans=Yellow
It shouldn't matter what color you are. I am accepting of all races. There are people of every race that I don't like, but that is the same case with everyone in the country.
I honestly don't care if your white, black, red, purple, or orange, race is not an issue with me!

The discrimination of African Americans by Skin tone in their own community, usually subconsciously done, as most Blacks dont realize they're doing it until some dumb rapper or famous person makes a stupid untrue statement about darker toned women.
Perpetuated during slavery and by the media which seems to suggest lighter skin females to be of a higher stance than darker ones.
Perpetuated by rappers who often show more lighter skinned women in videos and hardly any darker ones.
Perpetuated by some Black men who treat lighter skinned females in a higher regard than darker toned ones.
An untrue Inplication that darker skin girls cannot be as fine as lighter ones. Bullshit.

Example of statements made for colorism
1.(rapper) "She gotta be a thick lightskinned redbone...long hair..."
2. "Dang you cute... for a dark skinned girl."
3. "Lightskinned girls just way finer! I dont want no dark girl!"

Racism within members of the same race. For instance, light-skinned African Americans looking down on and discriminating against darker-skinned African Americans.

African-American. The former "polite" term, replaced by "Negro," then by "black," now by "African-American."
White folks in Washington
They sure know how
To call a colored man a nigger,
Just to see him bow.
