  1. Love the skin you are in. I have been called high yellow, red bone by black men. I find it offensive. My color does not define me. I am a black woman . Who happened to be born of a lighter color. I love dark skin men.

  2. The more important question to ask, especially to those who know bleaching creams are harmful but continue to use them is, why do you think people are willing to risk their health to be lighter?

    The privileges still exist. If that isn’t acknowledged, then it won’t change.

  3. “If it stings,it works.” Isn’t that how we destroyed our skin as teenagers? You would think an adult would know to listen to their body’s reaction.

  4. That was so cringeworthy, it’s making me shudder. They don’t look like white people because they have black features.

    And this ladies and gentle, is how white supremacy sounds and looks, when coming from a black or African face, with a black nose and lips, and a South African accent! Smh

    The most beautiful woman in the documentary was the model wearing the kente cloth, with the Afro. She was stunning!

  5. The self hate is insane. You live in Africa and yet hate your skin. So sad. " the lighter the better?" Can't believe he said that. They dont look good bleached. The motherland has been corrupted and the ppl don't see the beauty in their skin

  6. They look ugly pale, majority of the times these women look way prettier with their natural skin colour. And at first glance you can tell their complexion isn’t natural. They look pasty, ghostly and like old an old dead.

  7. It is not skin whitening. Africans who bleach their skins are not trying to be white, which is of little aesthetic value in Africa, they are trying to like light skinned black people, and there is a difference. This is the same with white people who tan; they are not trying to be African, they are trying to be like darker skinned white people

  8. This breaks my heart. The lad thinks he got 4 phone numbers because he is lighter than he was. He got them because he’s good looking. Personally I love black men anyway so lightening their skin doesn’t make them more attractive in my view. It’s very sad that they can’t love themselves as they are.

  9. Norma Harris 1day ago Yes she looks a mess. Everything about her is fake hair swell. GOD did
    Not create her like this. THIS is so sad.😢😢Norma Harris 1day ago

  10. Your skin is an organ. All that bleaching will catch up with them one day. This poison mindset was introduced to black and brown ppl so many thousands of years ago. And it was overemphasized during slavery time. Even king Solomon talked about it in songs of Solomon. He says, “do not judge me because my skin is dark, my mother made me work in the fields.” All shades are beautiful. Please love yourselves.

  11. You black women, don't you know you are the most beautiful 👠♀️ women on this planet. You are glow and lovely. Don't let no one tell you other wise. You don't bleach your melanin beautiful skin. Same as your body implants and injections, that's not a positive thing to do to your body that God created. Messing with your body God don't like that, leave your gorgeous skin and body alone. Don't live for the world, it's something wrong with it.😮😮😮 Be as you are!!!

  12. Okay i get why those creams are bad but why was that doctor outside even driving to another place in a lab coat😭 have she forgotten clean and unclean areas

  13. Love yourself the way you are dear brothers and sisters. Do note fall into the trap of the devil who wants us to transform our god given body.perfection doesn't existe in this life . The only way to be free is to love yourself the way God made you. If note you are going to suffer a lot your whole life.

  14. I’m really disappointed with the reporters use of the derogatory term “kaffir” especially after being educated on how and why the term was used in South Africa. She then what’s interesting is that she relates the term to the “n-word” and is careful not to say the actual derogatory term “n*gga” (apologies if I’ve offended or triggered anyone by type that). What I’d like to know is should she not have said the “k-word”? Seeing as we as black South Africans do not use that word because of its history. Is her saying kaffir a reflection of her lack of respect for the black South African struggle? Am I overly sensitive about the term being used because I am a black South African and she is not? I don’t know. What I do know is that I did not like her saying that term out loud like and carelessly like that then being careful not to say the derogatory term used for African Americans.
