What i am expecting is a end to this practice! We can start with this suggestion from a former U.SA . Supreme Court Justice, Louis Brandei, &quot;Sunlight is the best disinfectant” This is the information age and the electronic media is the sunlight.

good luck with that;

the rampant hair creming &amp; weaving among women of african descent comes from the same place in the psyche as skin-bleaching;
yet it is more popular than ever &amp; continues to grow...
low self-esteem &amp; a negative self image are pretty much the norm for people of african descent right now...

changing that will be an uphill battle considering the power of the media &amp; the weakness &amp; lack of true leadership in african &amp; african-descended majority countries

Re: Skin Bleaching to the world...from JA...

everyone is disgusted by our hatred of our skin color but everyone accepts the hatred of our hair type...

vybz kartel even used the hair creme thing to justify his fondness for lighter skin &amp;/or disdain of darker skin...

at his UWI 'lecture', he said majority of black women creme out or weave out &amp; no one says anything, yet they want to kill him for bleaching...
good point--- since altering one's natural features chemically is what both are doing

Errr kartel is delusional and an idiot. Am baffled by the idiots who then take his word as bible and become his followers.

Is THAT part of the problem? </div></div>

<span style="font-size: 17pt">&quot;cafe-au-lait-color common among Jamaica's elite&quot; She believes a fairer skin could be her ticket to a better life</span>

The above quotes from the article are the 800lbs gorilla in the room that most Jamaicans don't want to confront.There is a well entrenched color caste system still existing on that former slave plantation island.I know it is unsettling to a lot of people (on and off this board) whenever i make reference to it.<span style="font-weight: bold">Now the whole world is slowly awaking to the fact</span>. </div></div>

what world?
it is more important that the people themselves awaken &amp; deal with the fact...
we already know the fact- but if we are not willing to change our own selves, the world can not do anything for us...you can lead the horse to water --x,y,z;
only emancipation of the mind can reverse this...but don't hold your breath that jamaica's leaders will do anything to tackle the inferiority complex which shackles the mind of the african worldwide...
their ignorance &amp; self-hatred keeps illuminati pockets bulging

Re: growing problem in jamaica's slum

there's a black woman pathologist here. she says every autopsy she's done on black women who cream their shows their brain as black. you have to cut the top off the skull off as part of an autopsy.

I totally agree with you,they both stems from the same mindset,whether it,s trying to make your hair look like another race,or your skin.

Re: growing problem in jamaica's slum

What I'm trying to figure is how is skin bleaching by black US going This Do more damage to Jamaica That skin tanning does not Do to All the countries Where They have been tanning for ever??

The murder rate is temporarily lower do they have To present something negative This report on Jamaica to try to counter any report on the reducing murder rate.

Who is being hurt by these people who are bleaching??

Re: growing problem in jamaica's slum

Sue - with all due respect, I disagree..
IGNORANT men will do IGNORANT things.. that article is about a set of illeterate Jamaicans who have no sense of their identity.. Its about lack of proper education and unfortunate influences.
this happens with all races.

Even more so, mi beg to differ about black men only seeing black women for poompoom.
You must be joking cause from what i can tell, if anyone easy fi give up the goods to the black man here is the white woman.
Black women tend to be more interesting in a upright (Theo Huxtable) type a dude, while the the white women here seem to want to turn every black man they meet into thier &quot;thug&quot;.. their &quot;fiddy cents&quot; ..The one to fulfill their &quot;gangsta&quot; fantasies.

the few black men I know here have nnothing but respect for Black woman, and is verymuch evident by our choices.

<span style="font-weight: bold">black women are generally devalued by black men. </span> THAT's part of the problem. a lot of black people don't value education. THAT's part of the problem. there doesn't seem to be opportunities open for black women outside a dem poom poom. THAT's part of the problem.

ever lissen to two jamaican ooman a cuss wanna nedda ovah foofah poom poom betta dan the ooda one's?
