I Created This Compelling Series To Challenge Black Skin Bleaching

I love your story especially the last part. That is such a beautiful thing to say!

John with his backhanded compliment, lol. I don't need your approval man. Please go do something constructive and stop being a troll as everyone has been saying.

Don't pay him any mind, lol.

Haha It's fine Molly, you don't have to respond to John's retort. His views are his and that's that. Thanks

I Created This Compelling Series To Challenge Black Skin Bleaching

Indeed and I hope this series will open the eyes of many to that, they don't have to change their skin.

I Created This Compelling Series To Challenge Black Skin Bleaching

You seem pretty bitter John, calm down. Your views are yours and that's fine, I won't try to diminish your perspective. Many appreciate this series and that's what matters the most. Have a good one!

I Created This Compelling Series To Challenge Black Skin Bleaching

Thank you I really appreciate that. And you are right, one complex interwoven race indeed.

I Created This Compelling Series To Challenge Black Skin Bleaching

Yes, ever since I started this series I've had many people message me about how rampant it is in their part of the world. I had a South African woman expressed to me how many of her peers bleach just to feel accepted. If our dark skin is not enough then what is? Why can't we be enough for our selves as human beings especially where skin color is concerned.

I Created This Compelling Series To Challenge Black Skin Bleaching

That's so true, the assumption is that being light skinned somehow alleviates that burden but such is not the case. Often times for those who bleach nothing changes in terms of the stereotype, so the proper thing would be to just accept ourselves.

I Created This Compelling Series To Challenge Black Skin Bleaching

I'm glad you think of it as such

I Created This Compelling Series To Challenge Black Skin Bleaching

No, it's also a pretty big problem in the black community.

I Created This Compelling Series To Challenge Black Skin Bleaching

Exactly, it will never be enough.

I Created This Compelling Series To Challenge Black Skin Bleaching

I couldn't have said it better myself.

I Created This Compelling Series To Challenge Black Skin Bleaching

Yes Jamaica! It is a big problem here.

Experiencing the same here

I Created This Compelling Series To Challenge Black Skin Bleaching

I dont think sonetging as drastic as bleaching your actual skin can be quite compared to "people with straight hair wanting it curly" talk about downplaying the seriousness...

I Created This Compelling Series To Challenge Black Skin Bleaching

I hope a lot of people who think it's necessary to bleach your skin see this and get a wake up call.

I Created This Compelling Series To Challenge Black Skin Bleaching

Keep pushing the envelope.

I Created This Compelling Series To Challenge Black Skin Bleaching

Don't pay him any mind, lol.

I Created This Compelling Series To Challenge Black Skin Bleaching

I could only hope it won't escalate horribly (or has it already?) like the socio-cultural problem in Asia--with the blatant ridicule, jokes, and straight discrimination.

I Created This Compelling Series To Challenge Black Skin Bleaching

Hahahaha that was an awesome comeback Molly :) lol so true

He's a troll. He comments on many posts here, trying to start arguments.

I would tell you to eat trash... but that would be cannibalism
