Can you cite your source for Pearl calling Maya "dark"? Maya Angelou's son states that Pearl referred to her as a "big ol' ugly girl" when rejecting her as an understudy for "Hello Dolly!", but made no mention of her insulting her skin tone. So far, you're the only person I've seen add in "dark". Of course it's a nasty insult regardless, but the insult you claim Pearl leveled is colorist, which makes it 10x worse. While Pearl did Maya Angelou a huge injustice by dismissing her based on her own opinion of her appearance, it's something else altogether to claim that Pearl was colorist, and another injustice is done to claim such when it's not at all true.

I had lost respect for pearl.
She called Maya Angelou dark and ugly.
Way back in the day.
Chelsea Gallo .....heard that too. she paid for that before she left here. so we can forgive her
Jim Stark I’ve never in my life called anyone out of their name.
There’s reasons behind name calling.
She meant what she said.
So.

Later on Pearl wanted Maya to present her with an award so it seems like she came to realize the error of her ways
