These people are ridiculous…caught up in the system like you already mentioned…They have nothing about them and can only rely on style to get them through their reality…i disagree with the notion that lights get more preference… woman a woman and beauty is beauty. These people are a bunch of ignorant fucks…watch dem a bleach and they look deformed and deranged and they have the audacity to talk about beauty LOL. IM DARK DARK and LOVELY and im always reminded of it not only by the men that compliment me but by looking into the mirror and seeing my chocolate silhouette.

Love your color, or dont and end up looking like the creatures in the video

what the person said is true..the lighter the better that is what our young black want .and it isa pity that they think and feel this way.
Men especially black men do prefer browning, red, fair, it is up to us as mothers and famliy menebers to teach them otherwise….soon it will be spot the balck women because our race will be wiped out because of the way thet think.
Well as for the whole bleaching ting….it is clear that alot of them arent educated eough to realise what the hell they are doing.

Dear Readers

I am VERY PROUD AND GOD BLESSED re: my BLACKNESS

To the brudda who only pars wid the light skin sistas and the bleached out arse ole dem – we all have to make choices and he is meking his choices so mek him move his BLOODCLART from yah.

What we need is to be PROUD of is the fact that GOD made us in his likeness and therefore every BLACK-shade – 42 of thses from the lightest hue to the darkest is a truely beautiful thing.

So for those who are not happy wid themselves – let them continue to play inna the WHITE MAN hand dem by bleaching out dem selves- frigging idiots.

Bless

This is really sad. We all need to appreciate ourselves for whom we are and not take life for granted. People in the healthcare field are very much aware of the harms of bleaching creams and they need to educate the community as to what it can do to the human body.

Being lighter by bleaching the skin is just a stigma that has been attached to the Jamaican society for too long now. I am dark skinned and i am absolutely beautiful, there is nothing wrong with being dark skinned. I don’t believe that people with lighter skin gets more attention or better jobs, it all has to do with the individuals level of confidence.

Being with a lighter skin woman or man might be a preference for some people, but if you have to bleach your skin to be admired by someone, then that person doesn’t deserve you. We need to have self esteem and stop giving into the harmful pressures of society. At the end of the day, your health is more important.

Did you know that those topical creams or gels are going directly into your blood stream? Just like the neosporin or other cream ointments ordered by the doctor for medical reasons has an effect, these bleaching creams are leaching off into your blood stream. Most of the ingredients that make these things are carsinogens that are very dangerous.

This is waht im talking about people like you who are so narrow minded, believing that being lighter will get you further in life, I`m not saying that your worng for prefering lighter women but you shoud be ashamed to be saying that the lighter we are the more opportunities we have thats absolutley rubbish. That means that f i ever came to you for a job and a light skined women came for a job you would in emloy the light skinned women just because shes light. I am dark skinned and have a fantastic job and get alot of male attention all the time. You should never believe that being closer to white will get you far it will just make you become one of them, thats what the government wants, looks like your part of the system!

Dear Viewers,

While it is commendable that some of you come to the defense of the black race because of this video, it makes no sense whatsoever to associate it to your country. I am from the island of Antigua and like Jamaica I reside in a little part of paradise. The beauty of our Islands must never be lost in the whirlwind of blatant ignorance, or sensationalization of an issue which since Michael Jackson and beyond have plagued our black race.

I am not impressed by the video because it seems like the producer went to the poorest amongst us to highlight the dangerousness of a practice that has no economic or social standing. It portrayed us as a black race in the most vulgar of ways by showing the most depraved amongst us. Rich blacks bleach, middle class blacks bleach and poor blacks bleach. What is relevant is that as black skinned people we must recognize the beauty of ourselves and our race and cause the ones who profit from the defiling of our skins to see their profits sink like the Dow Jones until the demand for those products become extinct.

I am not going to elaborate much more but to say as I started that in our ISLANDS we have the most beautiful countries on the planet and in our people we have the most beautiful kaleidoscope of colors shapes sizes anywhere. We just have to learn to appreciate that and when we see those amongst us who are victims of a system of beauty as an illusion instead of reality,we must rush to educate them instead of condemning them.

After we get rid of the bleaching among black people our next mission should be the hair market.

Sad, but the bleaching has been going on long time in Ja. I remember some higgler friends I have use to dress in long sleeves everyday to keep the sun off their bodies (in other words they were steaming off the black color). Sadly enough, brown people bleach too. What shock me the most is these young men that are now using the these chemicals, they beat the women in bleaching. Bwoy, Jamaica bruck down, these young people have no values. saaddddd!
