Stop Bleaching your skin, My African (black) brothers and Sisters

This writer was shocked to learn that there are people of her color who are bleaching themselves so that they can look “white”. These people have been brainwashed to believe that the white skin is superior to their skin and have as a result resorted to crazy ways to “change” their skins. Some are actually using liquid bleach that is normally used for cleaning on their skins to make a change.

A while back Tyra Banks had a show in which she interviewed women who confessed bleaching their skin. One woman stated that her mother used to bleach her and now she was bleaching her three young sons. This woman’s explanation was that light skinned people had it easier even if they were black than dark skinned people in America. It was clear through the program that this is something that the African America community in America believe.

This however is not only an American problem because women from Africa and the Caribbean’s also bleach their skin for a more lighter skin. Men, particularly in the entertainment industry, are also known to bleach their skins to a more lighter shade. It is in fact alleged that VYBZ KARTEL a Jamaican musician recently bleached his face. Was Michael Jacksons’ skin change as a result of bleaching or was it a skin pigmentation problem?

How then do you explain this weird behavior?

The African was colonized and enslaved by the white person. With colonization the African was forced into a culture that brainwashed the African to believe that her culture was inferior. This coupled with the fact that the master was of a different shade of skin psychologically indoctrinated some Africans to believe that it is how they look that is the problem. So them changing their skin color will perhaps make them acceptable and respected by the white person.

The black person in America also suffers from the same inferiority complex since the slave master was also white. There were some black people who were born as a product of the master having illicit sex with the slave. Since they were of a mixed race their skin color would be lighter and consequently, according to black Americans, more favorable to the white master and treated less harshly. This self doubt is so deeply ingrained in many black Americans which also explains why they would try to change their hair to look more like that of the Caucasian.

With black men, their self hatred is exposed in their attraction to the white female. Most successful black men end up marrying white women perhaps to wipe out their blackness or maybe perhaps because they hate their black sisters skin. Or is to prove to themselves that they are worthy since they are marrying from their masters heritage?

This is a confusing phenomena but psychologist have proved that you can program people on how to think. If you keep on repeating the same thing for along time people will come to believe it as truth. The kind of woman paraded by the media as beautiful is always white with certain features that are only common to the Caucasian race. If she is black she is of a lighter complexion with similar features as those of a Caucasian woman. This has continued the brainwashing of the African that they are not good enough hence their bleaching to look beautiful.
