Has anyone in this thread ever been to Jamaica? Skin bleaching is not common especially among people who aren't entertainers. There's also people of all races in Jamaica although Jamaica is mostly black ppl

The standard of beauty is whatever the most influential culture dictates it is.

I hate to say it, but young Jamaicans are taking a lot of cues from us.

They see how we elevate our lighter skinned folks up over our folks that have more traditional African features.

So maybe it isn't white folks they're trying to appease.

Maybe it's the more influential blacks in America.

who is "us"? Don't blame skin bleaching in Jamaica on Aframs.:scust:

Third world type of living and conditions which breeds a very stone cold resolve and demeanor, A lot of Jamaicans shoot first and ask questions later.:ld:

THE dude you quoted clearly doesn't know.

underestimating another man because of the way they look or dress, is one of the worst sins you can commit in this world.

Bleaching cream is sold in Harlem though. And almost every Asian owned supply shop in a black neighborhood I been in. One of my boy's pointed it out to me.

the asian shops have been selling it since the 90's

I remember back in like 97 i would be in my aunts hair salon (in the bronx), and the asian ladys would come in with a case of that shyt, and sell it to my aunts customers.

Alkaline official removes contacts from eyes for 2016 [PICS] | 3Jamaica

Pic is of Mase another jam artist who believed and tried to follow Alkaline and tatoo his eyes



Dancehall phenomenon Alkaline has now officially revealed his true eyes to his over 350,000 facebook fans which sent his page into a frenzy. Thousands of comments from both shocked fans and persons that felt outright cheated and betrayed by the young Vendetta clan leader were noticed.

When news first broke in 2013 that a young Danchall artiste called Alkaline, real name Earlan Bartley; then 18 years of age had done something so outrageous and unheard of in the island of Jamaica and the dancehall diaspora on a hold which was known for outrageous stunts; by tattooing his eyeballs and risking it all to become a trend setter. This quickly send the media and natives of the island buzzing with questions which propelled the young artiste’s name and career almost instantly.



Everyone wanted to learn as much as possible about this youngster that would do such a risky procedure of injecting ink into such a sensitive part of the body which could have lead to permanent blindness all for fame and wealth. Given the fact that this move by Alkaline proved to be so successful, other aspiring artiste decided to attempt and tattoo their eyeballs which included Mace who almost went blind while tattooing his eyes.



The Deception by Alkaline
From mid 2015 to now the beginning of 2016 we have seen where several photos have slowly surfaced on-line showing Dancehall artiste Alkaline sporting his natural eyes which lead most to assume that his famous “2016” slang was him highlighting that he was going to drop a big bomb in the year 2016. And he certainly did! – The artiste has always kept quite about his eyes being fake regardless of the many questions and doubters drilling for answers.

Now that he has made the big reveal on his personal facebook page that his black eyes were in fact fake. Many are requesting that he be penalized for betraying the trust of his many fans and outright lying to get a “buss”. And also for having led others to follow his example by permanently tattooing and damaging their eyes in an attempt to be like him and acquire fame and success.
