Don't make sense :mindblown:why jamaicans bleach their skin here are no(hyperbole) whites to "appease" in Jamaica. The standard of beauty is African.
You might die of surprise if you visited an African country. They bleaching there too.

Overall, USA, Jamaica, Nigeria.. wherever it's a small minority that do it.

Never been big on Vybz, bounty killer was the last "Hardcore" dancehall artist I listened to ( I know Vybz exposed him something serious) but I'll listen to him 10x over alkaline.

To be fair, I haven't given dude much a chance so I'll revisit.

I stopped fukking with Vybz as soon as he started bleaching, I can't condone that shyt on any level. That's when I started reppin the gully god.

im Jamaican and it's sad to see some of these young, smart, youths turned to skin bleaching, because of bytch ass artists influences on today's youth. even that murderer Kartel has his own skin bleach products he's pushing and a song to go along with it. even that demon looking guy Tommy Lee

I swear I hope that batty man sufferers in prison, despite him still pushing music in prison (which is stupid).

shout out to popcaan, chronixx, gyptian, and smart upcoming artist. and my rasta homies that ain't on that c00n stuff.

lol, I had a similar experience with my great grandma when I was a kid. I told her that she and all other black people in america were from africa and she almost hit the ceiling. She said "my poppa didn't tell me that!" Rest of the family that was in the room were looking at me like :whoa:.

In my head I couldn't understand why they were trying to stop me from dropping knowledge.:rudy:

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.
fukk outta here we ain't over here bleaching like that and to say all black folks in America worship light skin blacks is ridiculous, if that was the case there would be a bleaching problem here as well. We don't glamorize that dusty bleached look here in America. Thats them Jamaicans trying to be white not emulate African Americans

You took my comment outta context, breh.

I didn't make that statement to imply that all black people in the US worship light skinned black folk.

I'm speaking historically as far as politics and culture are concerned.

It's a fact that light skinned black folks have experienced a certain privilege amongst other black folks in American history.

Because of this, light skinned black folks have been presented to the world, more often than not, as the standard of excellence for black Americans.

My theory is that when most black folks from other nations bleach their skin, it's prodominately an effort to resemble a light skinned black person, not a European.

With anything, there is always exceptions, but i think that's the reason for most.

No u specifically targeted African Americans as the cause of this in Jamaica and that is completely false. Jamaicans are doing this for the same reason any group of people modifys their appearance to fit the current standard of beauty... and that's WHITE PEOPLE. Don't try to blame us blacks here in America for what white people have done to the minds of Jamaican people to make them wanna bleach their skin. fukk outta here
