Jeff is so unhappy with himself, you can see it in his eyes. It’s heartbreaking to watch.

It’s lowkey heartbreaking the way the female rapper remains in staunch denial at the end of the video when she’s confronted with the reality of what she’s endorsing. She’s determined to forever prioritize lighter skin over potentially dying or having her own skin rot away like that one poor woman’s. Then again, her denial is of the sort that revolves around not wanting to know- as if remaining in the dark about what those creams do will shield her from the reality. She herself admitted to having had an expert explain what the product contained but she can’t remember because she didn’t want to. The imagine of Beyonce on her blouse speaks volumes- aesthetics over health. I resist judging her though, as I have no idea what it’s like to be under that kind of cultural/racial pressure. The whole concept is so sad and I just hope she takes care of herself because I truly feel for people like Jeff and the lady that damaged her skin beyond repair. She must live in pain every day, I hope at least being treated for it can minimize that. I’m sure once people are past being truly helped, they do learn their lesson and shouldn’t be shamed- just use their stories as cautionary tales for others. That said, it’s great to see some South Africans embrace their beautiful, natural dark skin and promote it proudly as we saw in that photoshoot.

Black people lightening their skin is a result of white ppl making dark skin unattractive. It’s actually shunned in the Black community whereas tanning is embraced in the white.ive seen many comments saying “white women are not trying to be black” but tbh they like the aesthetic... they pump their lips, do curly perms to get hair texture and get their bums/ hips done. The white aesthetic was more popular in the 90s but since then the Kardashian’s changed the western beauty standards..which mimics BW.

It is even a bigger thing in asian

The day people stop caring about your skin color. That day this entire skin whitening company would collapse.

I am Caucasian I used to go every summer to the beach to get a dark tan when I was younger, then I stopped because it made me look older, I had developed a sun stain on my forehead that would never go away, I used a skin lightner that I got at the pharmacy only on that spot and it's gone. it's odd how some people want their skin lighter and others get deep dark tans because they want it darker, I suppose we are never happy.

They should endorse moisturizer, healthy skin is good skin

I lived in South Africa when I was a kid and it holds a really special place in my heart, I hope that the whole of Africa will be free from colorism some day soon.

me too, I'm not Indian but I come from another Asian country in which fair skin is idolized. My skin are not light nor dark, average I guess. But social media always tell me about: how to have lighter skin, all the products, why lighter skin is better,... I'm grateful that now I'm educated enough so that I know my own values and never let those absurd beauty standard influence on me. However, in the past, I loved light skin as many other girls, and well at least I didn't risk my health to do all the insane skin-bleaching things. But out there many girls who are not mature and strong enough are damaging their own mental and physical health to become whiter. Such a sad reality.

The lighter skin doesn't even look natural here. It looks almost cadaverous in a sense. Simply Casket Ready. Just horrid. There is a level of liberation to be felt when the decision is made to love yourself in spite of the negativity. It's the best kind of love in my opinion.

The fact that that 'PR manager' said all that with so much confidence is baffling, just goes to prove how much the 'creative industry' plays a key role in creating the wrong beauty standards for the younger generation. I quite a job back in Uni after I noticed that there was a clear bias for girls with lighter skin, we are all Africans for crying out loud, it's just annoying and sad.

Beauty is not in skin tone, it is in a healthy body, skin and the confidence one has about oneself. If one doesn't have that confidence, no matter how he/she looks, it will never look pretty. The problem with many people is the lack of that confidence. Skin color doesn't matter. What matter is health, hygiene, openness, comfort about self, knowledge, balanced thoughts, peaceful n relaxed mind. Any person carry those qualities is inherently beautiful.

Fair or dark skin is a norm in southeast asia.. it does not determine status or familical root, even one family can have dark and fair skinned members at once as what is in your family.. but often I heard the stress is real in the Philippines particularly for ladies. I think Filipino media brainwash is to be blamed.. they always pick fair skinned female as leading celebrities. But somewhere outside in foreign lands.. often I see the fair skinned and good looking Filipino ladies date dark skinned Indian men, some of the men could also be much elder or already married, yeah we know it's always about the money.. on the other hand we also often see dark skinned Filipino ladies with white, caucasian men.. and quite many of them are in serious relationship or married to each other. So life always has its blessings in return for those who are discriminated and it is never a right thing for a mother to compare her children especially on things that comes by nature.
