Why the market for skin lightening is growing

[Marti]

Ive met 2 black people that bleached in my lifetime, one was a ghanian woman and one was a Jamaican man

Both were open, honest and happy about the results

Also in the Caribbean I don't see much islanders bleaching heavily outside of Jamaicans and maybe Dominicans. Haven't heard about Haitians, Trinis or Bajans doing it in large numbers. I can be wrong.

I know as far as Baja is concerned @Princess Coco and her family is into it heavy

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.

Because it’s not a cultural staple. It is not that common with Caribbean folk either. It is HUGE with Asians.

Black girls and really AA grew up on dark and lovely, they don’t know what fair and lovely is (the bleaching cream). This Indian girl in my cohort used that shyt until she developed skin cancer. Her mother told her she would never get married if she didn’t.

Ironically in Jamaica it's the men who bleach more then the women.

People of color have serious trauma
For the majority if they are not bleaching their skin directly they are bleaching out their seed so that their sons and daughters can have the “acceptance” in life they felt they never had

It’s very sad.

For Asians I think it's something like dark skin associated with poor nikkas. The lower class is always doing manual labor outside and shyt while the rich nikkas don't need to do that so they got the paler skin. Having dark skin and Asia is like rocking a polo without a logo or running around with Payless Shaq dunks or some shyt. It's associated with brokeness.

My c00naddy married an Asian and now I has a Filipino step mother. She about that life, be on it heavy.

Aren't you a 50 year old member of the NGE? CONSIDERED A GANG IN THE PRISON SYSTEM? I ain't from here, just like you're NOT FROM JAMAICA. You from New York and you live in the predominantly AA south. Don't get your building torched.

whats worst is the MENTAL BLEACHING that involves no creams or substances

but is fully demonstrated on this board by clowns who feel it is US (african americans) against THEM (africans, carribeans, afro latinos)

this is the REAL TRAUMA that results in bleaching and other tragedies...

BLACK PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIKE THEMSELVES and wanna DISTINGUISH THEMSELVES FROM OTHERS...

while the ANGLO SAXONS and JEWS are having a LOVELY TIME GOING unchallenged fukking up life for all of us dumb ass black people too busy fighting each other.....

great job DIASPORA DUMMIES .....who needs WHITE SUPREMACIST when JIGABOOS do a much better job of HATRED

Yo check this out. I just asked a girl I went to school with who was bullied and felt insecure for her dark complexion if she ever thought about bleaching her skin and this was her reaction "...... Negro if you don't get the fukk out my face"

the masses fell for the trick

linking brighter complexions to attraction

& deeper complexions to repulsion

true beauty is more than skin deep
