Me:What do you think of BSB and our movement?

CNN STORY: COLORISM STILL ALIVE IN 2010 AMONGST BLACK AND WHITE KIDS

Here is a CNN story I found on mediatakeout.com
Very interesting. Colorism is like racism it will never end.
We all have suffered from it but when we get over it?
When will light stop being held at high value and dark stop being devalued?

WOMAN BLEACHES HER INFANT SON SKIN TO MAKE HIM LIGHTER!!


I got this story from mediatakeout.com and there are three things ridiculously wrong with this article.

1.Here it is 2010 and we are still believing lighter skin is better than darker skin.
2. This lady is brown herself and yet only dates light skin men because she believes "brown is dirty" which means she hates herself!
3.This dummy is really putting bleach on her baby skin!! Seriously! Are you that obsessed with skin color? That you will put BLEACH on your baby skin to attempt to make him lighter.

Everytime I see stories like this ..I get so upset!!
People try to love the skin you in lrather ight or dark!
And stop with the bleach and bleaching cremes it does not work!!
Only way to lighten your skin is by having vitilago like MJ or whatever his secret was..
What do you guys think of this story?

Always BSB,
Miss BSB
