So, I'm watching the Tyra show and this episode is called "Bleaching for Beauty". I'm sitting here listening to these ignorant women talk about their insecurities and how they believe that lighter women have a lighter load in life. I'm so tired of us always having an excuse to why we have to change everything about ourselves. These women are willing to put a chemical that can cause physical damage, disfiguration, cancer, and so many other things rather than just looking in the mirror and realizing what God has blessed them with. And as I sat here getting upset with their coonery mentality and becoming more and more upset with the scapegoat being "society has brainwashed us"....URG!
No we have brainwashed ourselves...we have to tell ourselves to "Bleach for Beauty" "Relax for Beauty" "Beijing for Beauty". Its time for us to take responsibility. Being a milk chocolate girl myself I've always thought that I was blessed to have the skin tone that doesn't generally crack as the years go on! I always felt blessed that I could sit out in the sun and only get a couple of shades darker. I've always been approached by black men of all shades and I often noticed that out of my friends who were all Tyra's complexion or lighter I'm always the one that gets compliments or the affection from men of different ethnicities also. I think that these women equated class to a skin tone, but they will still be the ignorant, tatted up black women that they were regardless of skin tone. MPO (my personal opinion)!
What do ya'll think? Are dark women not beautiful? Shouldn't we all be bleaching our children to guarantee a lighter load in life?
