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

[Rawtid]

Both bleach for the same purpose on average.
Fair skin is viewed as a positive....

spot removers chop away layers of skin
remove blemishes and spots
THAT IS BLEACHING

whether just face, arms, or legs only
they want lighter, smoother, more even complexion

do you use spot removers and pretend you not bleaching?
ever left clearasil on for too long?

You tried. You know good and hell well it’s not the got damn same.

Subject has come up before.

I pointed out that archives of advertisements in Black owned newspapers and magazines from pre 1960s era says different.

So it was the black empowerment movement?

Breh. Removing discoloration from an acne scar ain’t the same as applying cream all over your body. Maybe this stuff hits too close to home that’s why you’re trying to play semantics

Does a spot remover take off skin layers?
does a spot remover make you lighter

there are usually multiple acne spots on a persons face

no semantics I am pointing out that you a bleacher also

and its worse when you pretend your skin does not get lighter when using certain using lotions, creams, spot removers

 

[Uncouth Savage]

You tried. You know good and hell well it’s not the got damn same.

So what we have here are folks who ALL use spot removers aka bleaching agents

and pretending it is different from the person who uses cheap products

that is fukd up

Compare lightening a pimple spot to walking around looking like the Walking Dead brehs

As someone else stated, if the products are high quality, one would never know.

When you have pimples is it only in one place on your face?
and when that spot remover lightens one spot

dont you have to make sure your whole face is even?

they are using cheap bleaching supplies
many times made by chinese and indians
they LOVE to bleach too

 

[VoxSphere74]

bleaching is a bandaid black people that hate their skin over here just focus on having lighter kids

Exactly.


A lot of Black people c00n globally because of racial stockholm syndrome. And overseas they bleach. But in the US they have kids with cacs to destroy their racial heritage permanently.

Sammy sosa is rich breh..lol


Now you trying to make it rich versus poor. I’m ADOS. In my culture we clown EVERYBODY insecure about their skin color. shyt, we clown naturally light skin ppl. I don’t know what culture you think you arguing with. You in Canada right?.. we stay clowning your tupac

Sammy issue might have been a combo of going extra hard and plastic surgery.

Yes it is rich vs poor. If you have money to buy proper products and are conservative with it, no one would know
Asians love to bleach

As said you would not understand.
I am telling you that you could see a person today, and weeks from now that same person walk past you and you never know.

So thinking people are all into wanting to be wite, you wrong.

you think you know

@Lazlowe Cravensworth The treatments are spot treatments; not whole face treatments. You wouldn't need to lighten the whole face because the spot is darker than the rest of the face.



And Vitamin C and hydroquinone are not the same. One helps increase cell turn over and wouldn't take you beyond your natural tone. The other decreases the melanin your skin produces. Usually hydroquinone is used in skin bleaching but is only used in small quantities in the US to not lighten beyond the natural skin tone.

those very same products
if you leave them on too long, do they not burn your skin up?

I am not a bleacher and not into any extra lotion shyt
so there is no expertise I have
other than being a kid using clearasil

I will take yall word for it that its just a lil bleach yall use
and the purpose is not to have lighter skin, and never goes beyond the natural skin tone

as long we can admit that bleach is being used
a little or a lotta
bleaching is occuring by the millions

 

[cyndaquil]

Is there a way to darken your skin?

 

[Bunchy Carter]

We did NOT always have this. The push for black people to love who we are started with the Nation of Islam. Before that, black people were using lightening cream and conking our hair.

James Brown did an interview where he said he got the idea for "I'm black and I'm proud" from the teachings of Elijah Muhammad.

Black people were proud to be called "negro" before that. Jesse Jackson said this in 1975 as well. That when all the other black leaders were referring to themselves as negroes, Elijah Muhammad was the only one telling black people that we should be proud to be black.

Who is We?

My parents changed our last names when I was a baby.
