it’s really stupid, and dangerous too.
people are never happy with who they are light skin people want to be darker and darker skinned people want to be light.
why can’t anyone leave their body alone and be happy wiith who they are? because some people have vitiligo (however its spelt) and other skin problems they are born with so they should just thank God for being alive at the end of the day.

Growing up my parents always taught us that the so-called house ******* were lighter because they had children by their masters. The so-called house ******* lived better because basically they had access to better leftovers. Being lighter skinned became synonymous with living in the big house, living better and being treated better.

I’m yellow skinned, think a week old banana, and I want to be even darker! White men don’t like this though. Black women are too taboo for them but Asian women are just right! Why do I care what white men think? I don’t know. We all should stop caring what white people think.

actually i think its the other way around, you can`t find 1 neighborhood in america without a tanning salon, i haven`t seen skin bleaching stations pop up yet.

Its actually more common in the asian than the black community. And few idiots dont represent the entire community.

I don’t want to lighten, I love my chocolate complexion. I think everyone should just get over it and learn to love themselves.
