Khloé Kardashian Claps Back at People Criticizing Her Daughter's Skin Color

"If you have the courage to post your nasty criticism please allow one to defend or comment back," Khloé tweeted late Thursday evening.

For some unfathomable reason, people have nothing better to do with their time than criticize a literal baby. So Khloé Kardashian is once again defending her daughter True against colorist comments about her infant daughter's skin tone.

Negative comments aimed at True appeared early on, but reached a disgusting level when Kim decided to post photos of the three new Kardashian babies, True, Chicago, and Stormi, having a sleepover. People commented on the baby girl being "too dark" or not as pretty as her cousins.

What bothers Khloé the most, as she explained in a tweet late Thursday night, is that when she attempts to defend True from haters, the critics get scared and delete their original comments. "I dislike the fact that people are allowed to comment on my daughters skin color but as soon as I comment kindly back and praise her for all that she is, the comment gets erased," she tweeted.

Unfortunately, while making a point to defend her baby, she decided to dismiss race altogether. "So instead of shaming I try to educate," she tweeted. "In our household we do not see color."

Claiming to be "colorblind," while it may it come from a good place, is extremely naive. The systems that dictate our society actively work to disenfranchise people of color, so claiming to not "see color" ignores the issues by opting to look at the world through rose-colored glasses.

Regardless of Khloé's personal politics, none of y'all should be fixing your lips to insult a baby. Period.
