I see alot of posts here on nairaland about skin bleaching and how us black people want to achieve a lighter look but it is funny really when you think about it, it is the exact same the other way around. Oyinbo girls are completely obsessed wih achieving a darker look. I live in Europe and all the white girls are preoccupied with sunbeds and tanning lotions(e.g st tropez, fake bake etc etc). White people in general see pale skin as unattractive nowadays. The darker you are the sexier you are.No race seems to be happy with their skin colour. Black people want lighter skin and white people (especially white girls) want darker skin. It is not nice. You are the way you were born and you should be proud of it whether you are black , white , asian , hispanic. Every race is beautiful.

bullocks! I`m white but i don`t go to tanningsaloons , neither does any of my friends and family go to those saloons.
We`re happy the way we are!

and NOT all black people bleach and straighten their hair,

I see the makings of very insecure people i.e only insecure people do the things you just listed.
