LOL You People are so hypocritical. The girl in the video has straight hair, NOT HER NATURAL HAIR. She is obviously using harsh chemicals to strengthen her hair. Why? because she doesn't like her afro hair, just like the women who bleach their skins, don't like their complexion. she, too, decided to use harsh, chemicals to straighten her hair to be accepted in the "white" world.

You & Tyra Banks need to look in the mirror. Start with your hair.

SEE!

you are just as stupid.

I’m sorry I had to give my testimonials in Puzzle peaces Thomasadrianna. I wish youtube would expand their character limit per post. Any ways there is a link I wanted you to see…also there is a lot more I wish to say to you on the topic…but I’ll do so through personal messages through your you tube account. There is soooo much to this.

i wonder how many rabbits had to sufferand to die for such bleaching stuff...

But skin color in society is Huge for some reason. I think you're a beautiful black young lady with amazing radient skin. It's great actually. You remind me of Gabriel Union. Wtf cares about color ? It's dumb distugusting & completley overrated pretty much like everything else society promotes. With skin color there's power ? Paper bag test ? No with Education there's power ! Kudos to you for furthering your education. That's what us black folk need to focus on rather then who's lighter &

[liddocb]

Women should embrace their color not destroy it to be medeocre. I knew one chick who bleached. Her skin looked bright & it glowed, her lips where rosy too. Then I got up close to her, something about her skin didn't look right. It was almost gross actually. Goes to show beauty has it's limits. Unfortunantly this light skin epedemic is sad, but true. Honestly being light you hardly notice it, it's like driving a car, as you get used to driving in it you forget what it looks like on the outside.

[liddocb]

Might make a racial comment about my skin. & then I saw the same tyra episode you saw around the same time & I considered bleaching crazy enough. When I turned 17 I got light again, ppl noticed & I never heard a black joke again. I'm 18 & still lighter. Personally I think I look better that way because that's how I looked as a little kid, basically I look like me (if that makes sense), Never ever saying every black women does. Personally I think dark skin is beautiful, it's exotic & sexy.

[liddocb]

Society is All BRAINWASH. Black women have been descriminated against for years & years for some reason. I personally am butterscotch lightskinned, but growing up in about junior high I had gotten darker it seemed. It hardly bothered me, but I would put on sun screen thinking That much exposure to the sun was unhealthy for my skin. In high school my skin was still darker, it Never bothered me until my junior year, when I started to notice & feel inferior of my dark skin because, playfully a kid

[duhb0ojaink]

girl this dnt make no sense. back in the day they use to favoritize lightskinned ppl/kids happened to my mom. she was a darker brown. like your color and they use to favoritize her light cousin and sister, openly thank god it didnt affect her too bad she has great confidence now but she didnt back then. i didnt think folks wanting to be light was that serious anymore. but its origins come from back in the day. why they started gloryfying lightskinned. idk but they created a mess smh

@MemoGrafix I agree--every race does stupid crap to be more "appealing" even to the point of denigrating themselves and their family. But I have total a prob. w/ black culture b/c its so pervasive. for example, the "classic beauty" for whites was always Marilyn Monroe: blonde hair, big bust, small waist, sultry eyes, etc...something exemplifying "white beauty". But when we think of "black beauty" we think Beyonce, Halle Berry, Vanessa Williams, not Grace Jones, Naomi Campbell, or Iman.

[zazezalo]

@MemoGrafix Yeah I realise that nowadays white women are doing the same things that degrade themselves and their race. (aka bigger butts and lips, etc.) but they do all that just because white men are (seemingly) more open about being attracted to women of color (esp. mixed women). Like this white guy told me he wasnt attracted to white women b/c they didnt have shapes like black women--its that type of attidtude that makes white women want to get shapes to please "their men". But all in all

[MemoGrafix]

@zazezalo: You are absolutely correct, regarding your comments to me or whoever. Also, like it or don't, I have a huge race issue with my people and the confusion they ALLOW themselves to endure over looking as white/light people do. Like that's an ACHIEVEMENT. It's downgrading to our beauty. I am fully aware of the lengths a lot of people around the world today will go in the name of looking appealing to everyone else and/or themselves. 

[MemoGrafix]

@zazezalo: I do see white women obtaining the breasts, lips, hips & Derrieres, we are naturally adorned with. I even saw a white man on Taboo, where white people are getting ass implants to get their asses bigger. Hmmm. I remember in the 1970's, white people in NY was getting tight curly perms to have the Afro and buying Afro wigs. Are you old enough to remember that? Also, white women/men do wear weaves today as for many centuries. Even that's something that originated in Afrika.
