I get that some people have preference for light skinned people when it comes to dating and that’s okay, we are entitled to our own dating preference (mine being bespectacled bearded men with nice round bums) but when it seems as if those in the public eye (celebrities, politicians, entrepreneurs) are seen with light skinned women it sends a message to the public. Have you guys seen the mansion Dencia acquired in Los Angeles? It’s not a joke she is making millions off propagating that being light skinned is the way to go.

She looks like if the sun shines too hard she’ll melt and guess what, she just might because if you intentionally strip off an entire layer of your skin in the name of being light skinned…there is a problem. I saw old photos of her and my jaw dropped. See Dencia, the Cameroonian responsible for the ‘it’ bleaching cream right now Whitenicious, she is so light now, practically transparent. I would talk about the fact that light skinned Indians and Chinese are treated better than those with darker skin but I can’t because I’m not in that society and therefore can’t evaluate it. The Nigerian society has placed a chip on the shoulder of light skinned citizens that has no business being there.ĬNN reports have it that Nigeria has the highest number of bleaching cream consumers in the world. Perhaps those who move abroad attempt to change their skin color so that they are not that many shades different from the caucasians around them, I don’t know, but whatever it is, I think it’s nonsense because even white folks treat white folks badly, so just because you are lighter skinned than other ‘black’ people around does not guarantee that they will treat you better or worse.Īlso, is it just me or are some folks obsessed with skin lightening Instagram filters? Don’t get me wrong, it’s fine to pick whatever filter you so desire but I’ve seen cases whereby on social media, due to filters and photo editing applications you assume someone is a particular complexion and then in reality you’re like, “ you’re so much darker in person.”Īmongst girls in my university, it was a general thought that the light skinned guys were the jerks, the ones who will cheat on you and what not but I didn’t quite understand it, until now. What I’ve noticed amongst ladies (guys bleach too) that move to foreign countries, some of them mysteriously begin to get lighter and lighter and I know it’s not the air or the weather that makes them lighter because a number of us have lived in foreign countries and didn’t come back shades lighter.
In fact a friend could walk past such a fellow and not recognize them because that’s not the color of skin they are familiar with. However when a person decides to pick a different shade of skin color like its nail polish, they look like someone else entirely.
It may sound odd because I would support someone who wanted breast augmentation surgery but how I rationalize it is, if someone gets a boob job, she’d still look like herself with a bigger rack. Personally I am not up for skin bleaching/lightening or whatever politically correct B.S name they are going with. Some Nigerian celebrities have altered their complexion from dark to light (not calling out any names but we know who they are) and a lot of the popular celebs are dating light skinned females like dark skinned girls aren’t people too. The whole light skinned propaganda has gone too far. What I do have a huge issue with is this whole ‘light skin privilege’ those who think that because of their natural complexion they are a notch higher than everyone else and those who are stupid enough to think that being lighter skinned makes them better people. Hi my name is S and I don’t have an issue with light skinned people, they are after all people. I’ve seen it more than once, light skinned people treated better than those with darker skin for no sensible reason if I might add. When we Nigerians treat our fellow ‘black’ men based on if they are dark skinned Nigerians or light skinned Nigerians, it’s sort of irritating. I mean ‘colorism’ how light or dark your skin is. I have come to realize that people are sometimes treated based on the color of their skin.
