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 </div></div>

Exactly!

Skin disease caused him to skinny up his nose and lips?

MJ suffered from a classic case of self hatred IMHO.

If his skin began to develop white blotches, why not darken those blotches to match the rest of his skin?

No he was talking about his Browning Girl.
But I don't want to get too far into the weeds. It seems my arguments are not getting over.

I am not blaming Buju or Kartel for the bleaching all I am saying is they vocalized a culture, that was and has emerged. Same as when Bounty Killa said Badman don't wear Bat-Rider in response to folks like Willie Haggart bleaching and wearing Butt-Hugging shorts, <span style="font-style: italic">(something I observed myself)</span>. Or Peter Tosh singing about Bob and the fact that Peter don't drink soda pop.

The point is, whenever this bleaching argument comes up you see the same drones writing a bunch of nonsense about Colonialism and Slavery, when the Jamaicans that are involved in this practice explain their in very clear terms.

These folks want to do what the want with their body, the pressure and acceptance is almost always rooted in the very slums they were born, live, work, socialize and most likely will die in.

As for slavery only the African history naive would think slavery was not practiced in Africa.

The subject matter, as you well know, is white colonial slavery.

Re: growing problem in jamaica's slum

not sure this is the look they are going for but this is the look they most likely will end up with.

I say to each his own. With the amount of information available people are CHOOSING to be arrogant abt the long term effects. I hear this very arguments from many Jamaicans about other issues that are health related.

Only it was not given that label.

It took Jamaican missionaries to establish the first post primary school in Nigeria from funds contributed by Jamaicans at home after they reported the state of education in the most populated country then an overt colony of Britain.
They were no better than the condition of Jamaican blacks.

They were just as enslaved as Jamaicans.

I hope someone was braved enough to correct the erroneous assumptions, that lighter/whiter, Jamaicans, with the money and power Jamaicans are treating darker Jamaicans like sh.....t?
