Funny how so much of us are on here hating, but the same ones that hate are the same ones that worship people like Bieonce and the same Tyra, or luv Rkelly even thoght it was tapped that he had sex with a minor and peed on her (AFrican American Goddess), so before we look at things like bleaching, we need a whole lot to think about as far as our own morals. dont get me wrong Bionce is very beautiful and talented, but i know you have been like oh she look so great, BLEACH…or damn her but is big, IMPLANTS. she got a great body ….LIPO./..// get over it………

Its not that fact that bleaching skin is bad, its the fact of why you do it. I personally buy skin whitener, but I only use it because my face is darker than other parts of my body and I tend to get dark marks on my skin because of acne. I dont want to be light skinned in fact I really would think I would look hurt. But it is true there seems to be favoritism with light skinned people. Well, men are an exception, sometimes light skinned men get sterotyped of being soft, and brown skinned women are accepted also . BUT IF YOU ARE DARK SKINNED, WITH SHORT HAIR, AND YOU ARE FEMALE, PLEASE DONT WHERE AN AFRO, because society doesnt accept that. And that hurts, thats part of the reason why women wear weaves becasue if they wanted to wear their natural hair they get tired of pople calling them “bald headed” and other names. I know we say love who you are but its hard when your the only one whos loving that about you. How many names besides black do we call dark skninned people. How many postive names? Atleast yellow boned and red is acceptable, we as the black race dont want to be called black people becasue we say were not black were African americans.

I watched this episode September 28th,2009, today. What I saw really boggled my mind. I am 37 years old light skin woman with 2 children both light and dark. Growing up biracial has always been an issue for me. I DON’T WHERE YOU THIK BEING LIGHT SKINNED HAS IT’S PERKS !! I am pretty but I was too light for my black friends and too dark for my white friends. Being called “big red” isn’t a turn on. ” Yellow bone” isn’t my idea of sexy, but, if that is what you value yourself at, knock yourself out. Story: I was in a car accident when I was 10 years old, cracking my gum line from my teeth. I remember sticking my tongue through the gap. I”ve undergone some things with my dentists up until I was 19. My teeth are yellow, 5 root canals decaying 3 of those 5 . Truly I’m just not going thru any more dental work. Why? My motto: I am a big bitch with a messed up grill but I’m a pretty bitch! There was no man I couldn’t have. And I married THE most wonderful and SEXIEST ( he’s been compared to Shamar Moore)man in the world because my self love was bigger than this universe and no one can snatch me out the sky. Think about this..what are you going to look like when you are old after these products have ruined the natural flow of things. You think you are ugly now..girl, wait until you wake up on your 45th birthday. Hope you have the money for a FEW of those face lifts you’ll definitely be needing. C Lady, Dallas, TX

Lots of black people bleach their skin secretly. It’s a pretty weak thing to do. Truth be told, some people look bad with a dark complexion, but most with a dark complexion dont have that problem. People who bleach their skin need to get over themselves.

It is easy for Tara to say what she says, her skin is not as dark as alot of blacks, and I think it is true, that lots of people do not like real black skin, and I feel most blacks do not like their black skin, and if they like &accepted their color, most other people would too! Tara hardly ever wheres her own hair either, and she hardly ever goes without make-up like most of us women. I dont think those people with darker skin who choose to lighten their skin should be frowned upon. We just have personal taste, and I dont think more should be read into all this than what is there, We all need to embrace and enjoy our differences. I thank God for the differences and all the beautiful shades of people out there, I feel we are one race with many different flavors and preferences. I just love it…and I love black people, and all people…God bless may we love as we are loved, and forgive as we are forgiven, we are called to love not to judge, that is God’s job.

Tyra is SUCH a hippocrit! Look at that picture! She looks like a white lady with a bad tan! (no offense to white women of course). Her hair is blonde for crying out loud!

She’s part of the reason that some black women feel this way. A lot of us feel that ighter skin is more beautiful when it isn’t necessarily. Light skin and dark skin are BOTH EXTREMELY beautiful! And if you’re “ugly” (as the media calls it), then it has NOTHING to do with your skin tone!

I’m a 14 year old darker skinned girl because both my parents are from the Carribbean and I’ll admit, I used to wish that I has skin like the white girls in my class. Then one day I was on my way to a party and I was all dressed up and my hair looked nice and I was weearing a pretty dress and I thought to myself “Wow, I look beautiful! I LOVE my skin!” And I went to the party happily!

DARK SKIN PEOPLE SHOULDN’T BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES!
BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL AND WHITE IS WONDERFUL! =)
