It is so sad how society ave brainwashed the Black person into thinking that your black, chocolate skin is not beautiful. Admitted, growing up my light-skinned friend got more attention but I think that was because I was NOT comfortable in MY own skin.
Once I did love me for me, other did to. Everyone is not for everyone. People love light skin, dark skin, caramel skin. Just find who like you for you and don't worry about the rest. |

I think they feel they have to be lighter in order to feel beautiful because today the way society is if your lighter you get noticed more so they begin to hate there color.

everybody has flaws and things they don't like about themselves. it's when you take it too far & know you can damage your body...that's the sad part. unfortunately , it's true. people are judged by the color of there skin all the time. some people do think lighter is better. all you can do is love yourself & get some type of self -esteem.

BUT YET YOU WANT TO SIT AND JUDGE THESE PEOPLE LIKE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY WOULD DO SUCH A THING! PUH-LEASE! BLACK PEOPLE ARE SICK BEYOND WORDS AND IT RUNS DEEP. SELF HATE IS RAMPANT. WE ARE SO QUICK TO SAY A LIGHTER SKIN PERSON LOOKS BETTER WE THE DARKER COMPLEXIONED ONE CLEARLY HAS THE BETTER BODY AND BETTER FEATURES; BUT SOMETHING IN YOUR SPIRIT STIRRING THE POT OF SELF LOATHING WON'T LET YOU SEE IT.

The difference between straightening your hair and bleaching your skin is that bleaching your skin is dangerous and have painful side effects. If the mother was bleaching her skin to appear more attractive it backfired badly, she looks a mess. I feel sorry for the people who believe that being light automatically makes you attractive or gets you a job, because that is not true at all I know a bunch of ugly a$$ light skinned people LOL. I love dark skinned men and women. Those people have alot of psychological problems that will take years to overcome because they have been brainwashed for so many years. My prayers go out to those who believe that their worth is measured by the color of their skin. |

BLKgodus: I'll answer. Straighten hair can be seen as the same thing but it is different. perms and relaxer have been tested. Even though some perms can totally take all your hair out. These people are doing it dealing with chemicals not tested for the conditions they are using them. Bleach, a high corrorsive chemical, was not meant for skin but for (and tested on) tough materials other than skin. Yes both situations are cosmetic> done to enhance the appearance. but it differs when it is harmful and repeatedly done to achieve effects that has long term conditions. hair can grow back or in many case there are other alternatives. BUT your skin is a humans first line of defense, it should should be moisturized not bleached! |

I've used Ambi in the past to get rid of facial discolorations but NEVER to make myself lighter! This is why it is SO important to come from a family who tells you, you ARE beautiful NO MATTER what industry standards and American and other ideals dictate. It is true that society now thinks fairer skin is the best. You look and it's everywhere. If a darker skinned person is not secure enough in their own right, they could fall victim to this foolishness and non-sense. I am blessed with a deep bronze skin tone that I LOVE! My husband and his family however are cafe au lait and lighter. I just gave birth to my son who is a caramel complexion. Love yourself first people, then NO ONE can f*ck with your mind! When you can't/don't love yourself, this is the kind of "ish" you do, bleaching yourself! |

Wow....That is sooo sad, man. I'm a beautiful dark skinned woman and I've never had a problem with my skin tone. I still attracts all kind of men from different races. God made each one of us different for a reason. And you should embrace who you are and love the skin you're in. If you don't love yourself, then who will? Putting all kinds of bleaching chemicals on your face will do nothing but make it worst. I don't think just light-skinned people are beautiful, I think ALL people of all color are beautiful. Black people has 24 different skin tones and that what make us unique and beautiful. I feel sorry for those who think light-skinned is better because in the bible,God did NOT say light is better. There's a purpose and reason why HE made each one of us different in his own image and for people who are trying to change HIS image are just foolish and there will be consequences.....just like that Jamacian lady with the f@*k up skin discoloration. |

neesha and jsu: thank you. There are products out there but those are tested (like ambi) and not used for the extreme. These people are in it for the wrong reasons. I thank you for pointing out that there are safe products and for alternative uses (not because you think lighter is better). My husband is way darker than me and gave him ambi after he came from iraq. But people have to realizes INSECURITIES and mis-information plays a big part why this form of self mutilation is in our community. |

*YAWN* Bleaching to make YOUR skin lighter is self-hate. Bleaching to get rid of dark spots is different. But when people tan, it is just to look healthy. Well TANNING is self-hate too. I don't know why there is talk about BLEACHING all of a sudden, Tanning is a much bigger bussiness and is socially accepted, which makes no sense because BOTH alter the skin color and both have cancer and other risks. Let these bitches bleach if they want, their "new" color doesn't even look natural or healthy. And they will pay for the xonsquence later on. I know someone already light skinned but bleached, now her face is covered in dark patches. And it is so OBVIOUS especially since she is a red-bone. And Bleaching in NOT a black thing. Asians, Hispanics,and Indians BLEACH also. In actuality, it is really big in India. Black people are not the only ones with a color complex. People are going to do them regardless. So why keep exploiting the issue. SOME people will still bleach. As you can see, it is ILLEGAL in some parts of the world, but people still manage to attain these bleaching products. It sends an IMAGE that all black people have self-hatred. My asian friend watched the Trya show and was sshocked to see people bleaching. And I think subconciously, she thinks it might be a BLACK thing. Not to tute my own horn,I am dark skinned and get called BEAUTIFUL all the time, by stangers, friends, family, white, asian, black,latino. I have NEVER felt a need to be ligh skinned, and I NEVER felt like people lighter than me were more attracitve. I think Beauty lies can lie in anyone, regardless of skin tone. Too bad NOT everyone can realize that. |

@lowerlevel82-If that is your pic, YOU are dark-skinned! I am about the same color as you and I consider myself dark. I hope you are not delusion where you think are light complected, or superior. You are still a NIG.GER to a lot of white people. And regardless of hair texture, or the color of the eyes or skin, You are still black! |

Colors, hairtexture. The two things that define, reflect and also keeps black people away from success, acceptance and in some cases love. Many shades that glow within the black community but we seem to only ACCEPT one shade which is usually more white oriented or very light. Many women on here that perm their hair would not leave the house without one, that is a form of selfhate. If we have to love ourselves we have to love ourselves fully not just only dealing with skin color. YOu can't go around sweatin skincoloring and discount perming or straightening your hair. If you are born with a certain hair texture you embrace it and not hide from it. Its very embarrasing at the growing ignorance within the black community. We have all the technology and opportunities now then we had back then yet we are growingly becoming very stupid. Until we truly embrace who we are as people we will never be seen as a real threat in society. We will remain a group that bitches, whine and blame along with buying instead of selling. |

MTO, man, you guys are killing me.
This video is so sad and pathetic. That young girl was so pretty, her rich, dark brown skin was BEAUTIFUL and she had no idea. Doesnt she see that her mother looks a friggin mess?!? Why would she want to copy THAT?
People, people, people. This is so sad. I can understand how some vulnerable folks may fall victim to the "light is right" motif, but it is nothing but straight BULLSH*T! Always has been. It's gotten so bad that even tons of dark-haired WHITE GIRLS don't feel as beautiful as their lily white, BLOND HAIRED, LIGHT BLUE EYED counterparts.... wtf?
I say it's time for a revolution! F*ck this wack azz, brainwashing bull sh*t!

"dem a bleach out dem skin" were the words to a dancehall song I heard a few years back. I never really paid any attention to it because I thought it was just a silly track.
I was raised in the islands (not Jamaica) and I was never exposed to "bleaching." In fact, I always wanted to be darker; I was raised in a household that didn't really like "light" or "white" skin.
But it seems that times have changed for the worse. I am hurt to see black women destroy themselves with this practice.
Do they not realized that they aren't really lighter? Now man can destroy what God has made. Are skin color is genetically hardwired into every cell in our body.
The only way to "permanently" remove skin color is by gene therapy; thereby changing the genetic makeup of the targeted cell. I am not sure our society has even been able to successfully tap into this technology, but even if we could, why?
Look at the guy who posted "I am glad I am not dark." How sad is that? Really, black people.
What would the leaders of the civil rights movement have to say..... what would MLK say? Did he give his life for this shyt?
Black people, we are beautiful. BLACK IS NOT A DISEASE. Lighter skin does not equal beauty. Please stop the ignorance. |

The mother of this lot looked completely insane and she must be held responsible for this madness. It's unfortunate and sad to say, but some Black people have been rendered mentally useless. I hope the interviewer,who looks part Indian,after the interview was concluded hopped on a plane to India to speak with her people about their skin bleaching practices as well. I would have also liked to see her interview Indian,Mulatto and Chinese business owners in Jamaica and question them about their hiring practices. Is there skin tone discrimination, which causes these Black Jamaicans to do such madness to themselves? As sick as these Black people may be,we still see that same madness with whites tanning themselves,so let's also keep that in mind. |

And for the record, I do NOT believe using a RELAXER is a form of self-hate. Not everybody want's to rock an afro, dreds or a fade-cut. Especially females! So what is a BLACK WOMEN suppossed to do that has long length to her hair? Yeah, she can probably plat it or braid it but that sh*t will get old real quick too. Don't get it twisted.
Relaxers in most cases just loosen the natural curl or wave pattern of the hair to make it more manageable...you brothers ever try to COMB OUT natural hair that is ACTUALLY LONG? So don't be so judgemental about a simple relaxer or texturizer being a self hate.
On the flip, I thing the aggressive WEAVE wearing of so many of our women is indeed questionable. Now it's ok to rock weave every blue moon...just to be fashionable or whatever, but some women are wearing that fake sh*t in all kinds of unnatural tones, dragging lengths past their behinds 24/7 like their peers don't know it's weave. Not to mention the damage it's doing to their hairlines. smdh.
In closing, I will add that skin-tone cream (bleach) is not bad if used ONLY to get rid of skin discolorations from ex: acne, burns etc. And only in moderation. But to MISUSE such a product on children or to try to change one's RACE (impossible) is dillusional and simply f*cked up.
My people, we can NEVER let the media dictate who WE are! |

@MsDani-Relaxers don't loosen curls, they get rid of it. Relaxers make your hair straight. A texturizer loosen up the curls and naps. I don't think relaxers are necessarily self-hatred but about 90% of black females have relaxers! So, I don't know how to interpret that. I have my hair natural though. My hair was rapunzel long, relaxers ate it up twice. Now, I am natural and rock my afro or braids or gel it back. |

OreoHearts your remark to lowerlevel82, "You are still a NIG.GER to a lot of white people." is one of the all time slave minded comments that Black people make. How long will we continue to give white people a pass for their ignorance. We are decendants of people who have been known by many names. Whether it be Nubians,Sudanese,Akan,Mande,Enger,Netjer or the people of the NIGER.Because ingnorant,illiterate whites pronounced NIGER as NIG.GER,should we be concerned. I don't trust you any way but I just wanted to state that for the record. As far as I'm concern white people are all genetic mutations of us and I have very little regard for their opinions of us or what their Albino asses call us.
As for lowerlevel82,let's all just shake our heads and walk away.

I guess white people feel the same way when their people over tan or go to tanning booths. But this will never end in America or anywhere else in the world. Blacks will always be inferior to light-skin too. I don't care how friggin light you get you will always be inferior to europeans, always. It's like the days at the Cotton Club or when black & white movies were made dark women were cast as the mamies, lighter-skin was on excepted to play lead roles and so on. Nothings going to change, you just have to be educated enough and God fearing to know differently about yourself... |

WOW!!! This is crazy and everyone is making valid points. I DO NOT agree with bleaching, I repeat I DO NOT agree with bleaching. Thus, I do I do understand why some people are doing it. It is so true that alot of BLack people (not all) favor lighter skin tones. When we see B, Halle and others, we say how beautiful they are (and they are). But a dark skinned women who is just as pretty does not get the same amount if treatment and or acknowledgement. As I grew up, I would always hear, "you are so cute TOO be dark skinned." Why I cant but just cute? I will never consider bleaching but some people are not as strong and let their surroundings affect their thinkings. We have to stand up and uplift one another! |

I think society is brain washing people. Look how all our black men r running behind white woman.They are just ruining black woman minds.I put it like this it's no better than lipo,society says your a hottie when you a size 2 or paper thin. Our black men neeed to stop going outside there race and support there black woman, if they don't know there pretty they need to hear it. Ex. who's mother took her life just to be smaller to have the "it look" when all along she was pretty for her age.Wake up America and don't get waked. |

People need to take accountability...Confidence and love has to start and come from within...If it doesn't then nothing else matters....No one can MAKE a person feel bad or inferior unless that person has something lacking within...
We have to instill a pride in who we are in our children from a young age, so that they are not swayed by the things they will see as they grow older.
The problem in this video is that the parent was passing down her self hate to her children which is the saddest part of all. |

@Browngurl81 Chemical hair relaxers are just as dangerous. Think, if you touch up new growth their is still dangerous chemicals seeping through the pores of your scalp. Not to mention the physcological effect it has on a black mind. Most of us believe to be light w/straight hair is more beautiful. Research...
I personally am a dark skinned woman with natural hair, and you wouldn't believe the dirty looks and slide comments I get from some of my own people.
This is my second time postng this; it probably won't make past MTO monitoring because it's too real for them!!!

Oshaniz, sorry you have self-hatred and low self-esteem. What makes you think you're gorgeous? U look average to me if that. And you're right the indians,Africans and others bleach as well. It's dayum shame whites know black is beautiful, but wanted you think it's ugly that's why they act like us and try to look like us by tanning and getting all types of enhancements. |

This isn’t' the 1st time I heard of this bleaching craze in Jamaica. I remember my mom talking about this when I was in the 3rd Grade. Anyway I remember when I was 10 or 11 I went to this class for young woman and in the class one of the woman handed us bleaching cream. At the time I didn't know what bleaching cream was and the lady didn’t tell us what it was she just showed us how to use it. Well when I got home my mom saw it and threw it away. But think about it I was young and most of the girls in this class were under privileged and they tried to teach us to bleach our skin that wasn’t right! |
