How come skin bleaching never became big in black America like it did in Africa & the Caribbean?

[NYC Rebel]

Not good enough my breh, state facts and not conspiracies..

Begin by naming the nations where this shyt takes place..proudly proclaiming that shyt is rampant in Africa is reckless and dangerous..its the same attitude cacs deploy where they paint all Blacks with the same brush.

. You need it drilled down further, and failure to do so “in this thread” means theres NOT a skin bleaching problem in Africa?

Whatever works for you bro.

You talking to someone who lived there for quite a few after being raised stateside. Your denial is dishonest.

lightening cream in collaboration with a brand called Whitenicious aint being sold in the states.



Your denial is dishonest

In the US Black people dont bleach, they simply race mix with Hipanics and cacs to get that good hair..

Nah, statistically we date out the least

Youre trying too hard.

Outside of a handful of celebrities, I've never seen or heard of Black Americans bleaching. None of my family members did, no friends, no one. It just never took off like that. I even remember when Blac Chyna tried to promote skin-lightening cream and she was unanimously condemned for it. A detail that flew under the radar was that the brand was actually started by a singer from Cameroon named Dencia.

Anyone who says otherwise is lying

Black America went through a “Black is Beautiful” wave in the 60s and 70s. Without that, I wouldn’t be surprised if bleaching was more popular today along with all the other plastic surgery that has become normalized today.

Black people here live around whites and are not fascinated by them as a result.

That’s the reason.

Because there is already a caste system heiarchy in place. So there are already enough lightskinned people here to worship and put on a pedestal Africa is currently in the proccess of creating them and filling that void. Its happening in africa due to our influence globally as leaders of the black free world

 

[Kasgoinjail]

People skin bleach all over the world
The highest numbers being in asia where these products are mass produced

The tropical weather in Africa and the Caribbean means that the effects of skin bleaching are far worse

Bleaching is not “big” in Africa you muppet.

On the other hand, America is the birthplace of the Conch, perm, Jherri curl, weave, S Curl etc.

See how that works? When it comes to falling victim to white supremacy, we are all victims in som way.

You sound like you’ve never been in Africa or lived there for a period of time. It has zero to do with that. There’s just a colonial mentality that is rampant there which has nothing to do with America.

Yes it is. I don’t like talking to fellow Africans about this because the denial is so rampant. Stop that bullshyt.

Bashing black americans in response aint changing shyt about that colonial mentality rampant on the continent.

fukk outta here with the denial.

Never seen it in Kenya. Not saying it doesn’t exist, but the vast majority of the population doesn’t even have the luxury of affording unnecessary cosmetics.

Further, never even heard any colorism issues with Kenyans here or back home. Like none. Again not saying it doesn’t exist, but I’ve never seen or heard it.

Because you cant drill it down to Kenya, it’s wrong to say it’s a problem in Africa Because it’s not a problem in your country?

I really don’t like conversations with Africans too often. The Denial is so dishonest.

you have your own politicians carry in the water for white supremacy. Who is this?



I say this as an African… No one carries the water for white supremacy more than Africans. That shyt is embarrassing

From James Brown’s “I’m Black and I’m Proud” to Toni Morrison’s “The Bluest Eye” seems there was a need to instill value in Blackness. By the time I was born in the 80s, I never questioned if my Blackness was beautiful. I wore it as a source of pride, and still do.

I’ve literally seen all 3.
