its so sad how women today are suffering through unsafe methods all in order to become what other people think is beautiful. i believe we need to be secure in ourselves and i believe it needs to be done now. something needs to hit home for these ladies out there that are doing such things as bleaching their skin, straightening their hair, wearing contacts and developing eating disorders just to reach a standard of beauty that they may never achieve! frankly something needs to be realized here, and its that you are who you are and you need to love it. please ladies, let's stop torturing ourselves. its time for a change to be made.
oh and just to make a point (especially to this winston guy that keeps posting outrageous comments on my video) this was a comment reply that i was trying to post to his claim that there are no beautiful dark skinned celebrities well to that i say:
Gabrielle Union, Nia Long, Kelly Rowland, Naomi Campbell, Keisha Knight Pulliam, and thats just to name a few. now, take a look at this picture: http://s50.photobucket.com/albums/f345/bojangles24/?action=view¤t=prettygirl.jpg
beautiful girl, no? now take a look at THIS picture: http://s50.photobucket.com/albums/f345/bojangles24/?action=view¤t=o8tmq0.jpg
do you get the point yet winston??? yea, thought so. everyone else, please, feel free to comment!

i advise you all to … i advise you all to read up on your toni morrison, especially “the bluest eye”. it’s about an abused little girl who’s one wish is to be white so that she doesn’t have to endure the mistreatment that comes with her skin, and it’s family history.
“the color complex” (by kathy russell, midge wilson, and ronald hall) is also an excellent book for anyone who wants to know where all this craziness about skintone started.
