From Wikipedia:<span style="font-style: italic"> Anal bleaching was first used by adult film stars and exotic dancers to provide a less pigmented (lighter) appearance in that area.</span>

ETA: More on the foolishness here. Note that the race of the pratitioners is implied (&quot;to bring it back to its budlike, puckish pink&quot, but is by no means the focus of the article unlike the AP piece.

This one wouldnt pass as evidence as this could easily be a matter of surrounding light or just photo quality.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">You are talking nonsense. There have been more pro-black and black pride arguments in Jamaica since the 70s than any arguments favouring white, light, brown or pink.</div></div>

i contend that this was superficial &amp; only in vogue because it became popular in america, especially when &quot;roots&quot; came out...just like in america it was not true black pride as it eventually wore off &amp; people returned to their perms &amp; wigs &amp; now bleaching...

besides none of those regimes ever attacked the problem in the most obvious place where young minds can be reached--
in school; i know because i attended basic &amp; primary school in jamaica in the 70's to the 80's

skin disease schmin disease;

it was obvious MJ (RIP) had no use for african features...
he put an end to the stubborn african gene by buying himself some white kids so he would not have to pass on the dreaded african genome that would not be destructible from surgery &amp; bleaching

the j'can leadership has done absolutely nothing to attack social issues affecting the j'can psyche...this self hatred/ negative self image is a huge problem which j'can leadership has never addressed &amp; shows no signs of ever addressing </div></div>

I apologize to Vybz Kartel it did not start with him.
It was earlier when Buju said:

Mi love mi cyar, mi bike, mi money an ting
But most of all mi love mi browning.

What he was vocalizing was the base of the Post 70s culture, born of the upheavals.
The new found freedom that put a premium on Light skin, not out of any holdover from slavery and/or colonialism but from the personal freedom and choice to do what they want with their bodies and lifestyles..

Vybz Kartel is now the peak of of this culture and has managed to expand on what Buju Banton had distilled down to a few lines on wax.
This need no great theory to prove, the bleachers have put it in their own words, committed to paper. We should stop listening to voices in our collective heads and examine their testimonies. </div></div>

this is such malarkie i can barely read it with a straight face----buju banton has caused this LOL...

it's not the long history of brutality &amp; brainwash founded on the principle of the denigration of the african &amp; all his/her accompanying features

So you are saying Portia and Hugh Shearer bleached? I see no evidence that I can accept that!

Maybe you should have fixed your face and read, then you might not have put into my mouth words that I have not spoken.
I know lying and illiteracy is the stock in trade on this board ....so this par for the course!

No Kartel is your authority ....did he say it was?
I think he mentioned Tupac, girls, art and maybe Lil Wayne!

Re: growing problem in jamaica's slum

I find this topic interesting; because in South Africa people prefer to be more black than anything else.

Re: growing problem in jamaica's slum

U know tuffy when hearned Bujus
Love mi cyar,
love mi bke,
love mi money and ting..
but most of all mi love mi browning..

I thought that was horrific poetic..... He was refering to the Browning pistol.. and I thought that is sick.. much like that the image we had to venerate in La Legion Extranjera...Still he was young when he wrote that...

I thought that that he was celebrating the possibility of skin colour lightening, that is better than the worship of live taking instrument...!!!!

I was going to use the term enhancement instead of lightening.... but then I realised that some one would miss contexturise it , to ligher being syuperior, rather than enhancement being any peterbation to the natural state!!!!
