"you wouldn' think that light skinned obsession would happen in africa of all places where dark skin is a way of life. But after the colonization and the segregation this is what happens."

You guys need to understand that this product plays into a notion that preceded colonization and segregation- it bothers me that some of you arent even willing to give credit to our people for coming up with bad ideas on their own much less believe that they're stupid enough to believe what the man tells them.

thats just not how it is- and dark skin in africa is not necessarily a way of life- Africa is a continent comprised of people of a variety of complexions- this has been the case throughout recorded history.

Did Africans not regard complexion until the "White" man came along- preposterous- these ideas are on the walls of the pyramids.

you guys have got to give Africans more credit- even if its for some ish that we dont want to claim.
