Americans underestimate the importance of the 60's/70's black power movements.
How come skin bleaching never became big in black America like it did in Africa & the Caribbean?

Some of you just dont get it. Popularized african american media makes its way to many parts of africa. Sometimes through the social media you claim to hate.
Are you telling me that you cant see any african american influence in the videos of some of these african artist? So you are telling me african girls dont see these music videos. Notice a pattern of lightskinned girls being exhaulted? And that african men couldnt develop different beauty standards based on seeing western media? Your saying African women couldnt possibly idolize Rhianna and Beyonce and want to look more like them. Even though they have Nollywood movies called Rhianna vs Beyonce? Are Africans unaware that Beyonce ,Rhianna and various other lightskinned women are held up as the standard of beauty?simply based on their global popularity? Black American culture is white supremacy in a nutshell. The difference is we have a greater understanding as well as context. But without context its very poisonous propaganda.
Im only saying the influence is real where its real,and that its growing. NYC Rebel is telling you thats not the case at all. But believe him if you will, Ill allow yall to catch up after its already too late

Trust me. The influence is real. My mother came to this country in the early 70s under the belief that every black woman here was supposed going to look like Tammi Terrell
But my point is that Black women here werent skin bleaching and they then copied.
Let me get back to this in a few

It’s NOT ALLOWED in America, this is common knowledge
Lemme leave this here before the pseudo-anthropologists gather
These Diaspora War baiting threads are pure KOONERY

The only diaspora war I see in here are Africans denying that there’s a skin bleaching problem back home. That shyt is a multi billion dollar industry that is poisoning African women

1st time I seen bleaching cream was 95. I was on holiday in Miami (from the UK). And I remember the Lady that worked at the mall telling a customer this was the ahit Michael Jackson used.

Lol and the whole bleach creams are illegal angle
If fba women wanted to bleach…….they would bleach
And there would be a whole underground black market selling products to them
That’s not the case because it’s just not something in our culture
That’s it.That’s the answer
Not are the accountable for other women choose to do
Be see a lot of things. We are the most visible black cilture
But with that you see people like Beyoncé but also people like Oprah or viola davis
Placing this all on black American visibility is dodo bird panny by shyt

The city I live in when it comes to immigration was historically mainly small island Caribbeans (those that do bleach are usually Jamaicans and the few that do weren't born here they come over recently) and Pakistanis. Affs didn't start arriving in numbers untill the 2000s it's usually Nigerians I see on the bleaching ting and again it's not those born here but come over recently.How can who somebody lives around so many Africans in the UK first see bleaching cream when it came to the US?

If this thread prove something, it proves that Africans don’t know or care shyt about other Africans. The second you showed us a problem in Africa, they want shyt focus to their groups are.
Africans don’t give two craps about Africa as a whole
