Above the fray.
No, you're wrong.
You're just some Haitian dude making shyt up thinking you can tell AAs what goes on in their households and sounding dumb as hell :mjlol::dead:
The inevitable jokes, smilies, and deflection.
Majority of what I wrote here was read from African American media coverage of the topic. You can try to counter anything I wrote here or take the easy way out with jokes. I think everybody here knows which route you'll take, though.

THAT'S A GOTTDAMN LIE

We all are guilty of it.....africans..carribeans...afro latinoes....

and especiaclly the AA GANG (AFRICAN AMERICANS)

I live in the deep south breh..been here for 20 years now...and i done seen it all amongst AFRICAN AMERICANS

Like the variuos fraternal orgnaizations that practiced coloroisim such as the AKA's (light brights) during its earlier time and L' Shanti

or the Historical Black church i came across in southeast Georgia which was told by many elders in the community that it was the "REDBONE CHURCH"

im not making this up....if you were DARKER than the light mahagony front door entrance ...u really wasn't gonna be accepted ....

unless YOU HAD MONEY like my uncle whom happned to be a dark skin man who made alot of money working on the railroad as one of the first black men to work for that rail company during the times of segregation.....

and married a LIGHTSKINED woman ..as his "pass"

so dont tell me that bullshyt about AFRICAN AMERICANS being more "culturally prideful" or opposed to colorisim...

african americans are some of the biggest abusers because of our desire to be ASSIMILIATED into mainstream (white) society...

look at all the AFRICAN AMERICAN RAPPERS who will skip over 10 beautiful dark skin women just to get to one average looking Yellow bone female :manny:

or the countless legions of black people famous and non famous whom view themselves as ugly...

"hearthrob never..BLACK and ugly as ever" - Biggie :francis:

I'm going to say this here colorism has did a number on black men and women in this country for years, especially black folks of the darkest variety but, with that said as a AA I have never seen or heard of a authentic AA woman or man bleaching their damn skin in my PERSONAL life. Now that isn't to say that it doesn't happen (of course their will be outliers) but as a whole it is extremely rare.

More brain washing and psychological warfare.

Also its hard to judge any black women who do this when you see all the Pawgs, light skin and biracial women that get posted on some of these other boards.

So?

A women self esteem shouldn't come from a bunch of no p*ssy getting 35 year old dweebs posting from they mama's basement.

you had to bring up the filters argument because the bleaching one didn't work:deadmanny:
No one's denying that AA women go through alot when it pertains to their skin tone but this is one thing I'll give them, they ain't bleaching their damn skin because of it. Not even the ones with the lowest self esteem is doing that shyt.

I'm not talking about anecdotal experiences. Skin bleaching is not a thing in AA culture and is very taboo, period.

"Share our problems and not our praise" - Caribrehs.

"We're not YOUR brand of black. We DO THIS, WE HAVE OUR OWN LAND AND CULTURE" - Caribrehs

Yup, and part of that culture is bleaching.
Most of that pride is false.
We ain't on that, and finding anecdotal exceptions won't create a new rule.

MILLIONS of black women wear horse hair on their head to emulate the appearance of white hair. Skin lightening was just the natural evolution of that self hatred. Add to to that this surging movement of wenches who know they aren't white, but will gladly spread their legs for a white boy to plant his seed in them and allow them to birth a half-white child through which they can vicariously experience the sick joy of having white blood. :francis:

young man....are u even african american???.....

i cant believe you would say such a thing its been VERY COMMON amongst AA's for decades

im an HBCU alumni and i can attest to this being a problem as well amongst african americans as stated by THESE AFRICAN AMERICAN women in this video






it is frowned upon in west indian society as well..........

just as much as you have a demographic promoting skin bleaching in the carribean ...you had many against it...

even making songs about it.....this tune was a big hit as a anti-bleaching anthem in the reggae dancehall world
