If wishes were horses...

It`s no doubt that millions of African black women (and men) would have chosen to be born white or at least light-skinned if they had given the opportunity.

In todays Nigeria, there are so many girls and in rear cases men, who bleach their natural ebony skin to either be completely white or lighter. Many are not comfortable with their being black at all and therefore spend so much trying to gain a new complexion.
A friend once said "No, I`m just too black and it scares men. I need to lighten up"

The Federal Ministry for Women Affaires says the number of women and children that bleach has multiplied in the last six years.
I found out that almost all the ladies I know bleach either little or hard even the light-skinned ones want to be lighter.

I`v not condemned any neither I`m trying to criticize. However I would like to know how comfortable you are with your skin colour especially if you`re (really) black.
Do you use chemical mixtures of any kind to lighten you skin and why?
Would you prefer a white or chocolate skinned partner (girlfriend, boyfriend, husband or wife)?
D you fell socially marginalized (in terms of attracting & keeping interests of opposite sex)
WHAT SKIN COLOURE WOULD YOU LIKE YOUR CHILDREN TO HAVE?

I love myself, my colour and all God has given me. I am proud to be a black man. We should learn to be proud of ourselves. No white man wishes to be black; so why are we killing ourselves to be white when God has made us Black? Those who bleach their skins have some forms of inferiority complex to address.

Seriously, I do not know my sking color.

Thank God for some Knowedgeable chemistry teacher my set had in the secondary school.
He told us to avoid creams with Hydroquinone and anything mecury based. He also said that we should watch out for anything contains sunscreening agent.

I thinkg a most Nigerians do not even know what products can bleach and what can not. Some become addicted to bleaching their skin after a few trials of those immoral products.

@Bettychy, I would say that the National Orientation Agency in Nigeria is comatose. Come to think of it, Fela has done the most work on enlightening people on this bleaching matter.

Need I say that have read somewhere that the White-Man is lacking some DNA strands - I think three DNA strands if my brain serves me correctly this time.
I would say, we are more complete than the white-man. Pardon my partiality. I am black.

We will take over from the white skinned people in everything good. The Universe never lies. To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Power will balance itself out eventually.
Paradigms will balance themselves out eventually.

I dont wanna be white! There skin is more likely to develop skin cancer....

"Dark skin has increased epidermal melanin which provides a natural skin protection factor....in fact Very dark, black skin has a natural SPF of about 13 and filters twice as much UV radiation as white skin, for example. "

If there is sumthing I envy from non- blacks it is their hair  Cheesy

It could be that I had always met the "wrong" people, It could also be that people would not like to treat this topic from a lit angle.
Whichever way, the truth remains that this is a reality about so many men and women of black African heritage.
