U so right, we are to be blame for our insecurity, lemme digress small, most of the things we do, we do it for our fellow women, it's more like competition n tryna put each oda down, a man don't know the difference btw xpression n human hair, they just want u to be neat buh some even do many things to meet up to their fellow girl.


Back to topic, ma closest friend, once told me that am too dark, was advising me to tone up(till date, she still talk about it), that the cream I use is not working (Olay) , that I need to do something about ma color,. Now imagine that statement coming from a fellow girl, if I hadn't been confident about myself I would have heed her advise.
The guys contribute a little buh the main problem lies with the women.

Black is beautiful!

Mrcork sey you hear I repeat, BLACK is BEAUTIFUL!

As funny as it may sound, there are things you should stop saying to dark skinned ladies and men. Stop the insensitivity.

Most times we hear people throw "good" and bad compliments at nonfair people without giving a thought to the psychological damage their statements can have on them and the nation.

In 2016, we should have learnt so many things from history. Come out from the cloak of willful ignorance and embrace truth.

Stop saying these to dark skin people:

1. You are dark BUT beautiful Wth. Most people say this without going through what they are saying. Why BUT and not AND? because they think dark skin is ugly! Simple. They are saying "well youve got a beautiful face and body but you are covered in ugliness." In other words, you are not so beautiful. Put it to them that this is what they imply, and they become self defensive.

But is dark skin ugly? The truth is dark skin is as ugly as fair skin just as fair skin is as beautiful as dark skin. And beautiful people come in all shades

2. You will be cuter if you were fair This is similar to the first but it carries with it such guts and certainty.

Like seriously? a beautiful 10 and a handsome 10 are brought before you and the only thing you can think of is "well they look good, but they will be better fair." Good enough, this statement only reveals the mental damage that you, the judge is suffering from.

The problem with this statement is that it denies reality. You are of the opinion that a beautiful dark skin lady will look better fair but reality says beautiful people look better always.

3. Light skinned people look better What now? Be jealous and hate yourself O ye dark people! Not only is this a lie it brings shame and disgrace to the entire continent. A lie has no good consequence.

An ugly fair man is called handsome and a handsome dark man is called average looking or some times ugly. O ye of poor taste and battered minds, you think like children and are short-sighted.

Again, reality says beautiful people look better always.

4. You are jealous and envious of light skinned people People who say this are so sure that non fair people are jealous and envious of them because they(dark people) have been made to feel lesser than them for a very long time now. In addition, many NOT MOST, dark people bleach their skins. So yea, they've got to be jealous of our "pretty" skin.

But are they right? Maybe. Some dark skin people get caught up in jealousy and envy not because fair skin is better but because the ground(system) is unlevelled and has put them at a disadvantage.

Almost all non fair people started with being comfortable in their skin not until some demons of division and deceit were let loose.

So dont pat yourself on the back thinking ye, we look better because we are fair. No, the demons of deceit are dealing with some dark people for now. Who knows whose turn it will be tomorrow.

5. Black is beautiful: Wow whats the problem with this statement? you say. Everything dear.
First, black connotes a people of a particular race. And this race has so many shades/complexions be it from extremely fair to extremely dark. They all form black. But you wonder why only a fraction is called black beauty. Are others white beauty, red beauty and so on.

If you say well you do not mean it by race but by skin shades. Then why is a chocolate woman called black beauty? Does she look black like black board? No you say. Why then do you not call her brown beauty? Fair doesnt look black. And brown doesnt look black too.

But thats not all, "black is beautiful" is a false statement because....simple, there are so many ugly black people and this alone renders it false.

You might think its a great compliment but dark skinned people are not moved because to them it is shallow and insensitive and non-problem solving. They can see through the lie.

Some even carry a mocking tone when it is said and only makes matters worse for some dark skinned people who have been battered mentally. No thanks.

At the end, dark skin is not the problem. You are.
You only form your opinions and preferencesfrom what you see on tv, magazines, in shows, etc. When you do a reality check up on yourself you will come to see dark skin for what it is. It is not ugly.

Dark skinned people will appreciate you question the lies in your head than make empty statements you do not believe yourself.

whos the chick?

kramfonos:

Oh really? Then how come NIGERIAN women are said to purchase 77% of skin-lightening products coming into Africa? Which Nigerian woman doesn't have skin-lightening soaps and/ or creams?

Heck! You folks feel so inferior that you openly create threads to advise yourselves on how to successfully bleach your skins.

Here is one of such threads:
www.nairaland.com/1006056/reviews-best-skin-lightening-products

A 19-year-old girl once asked to use my phone to look up something on the internet. When I checked the browsing history, there were sites about skin-lightening products. 5 months later, I noticed she's light-skinned!


Tell your story to the birds!

Thank you for your contribution. Everything you have said is true. And we all know. But they problem we are having is that we dont want to stress ourselves. We just want the easy way out of our troubles. In this case, we lighten up and encourage others to do so

Unfortunately, we are taking the deadly path. And the end is complete hatred for ourselves. We can see it, but we dont want to admit it.

Many people would run away now when they see discussions like this because they are guilty one way or the other, but time will not fail in its course.

There are many out there who are still indifferent or maybe unaware, these should be our main target. Let us becareful with what we say around them. Our compliments should be clear and honest.

We may have lost many to media conditioning but guess what more and more people prefer coming on social media platforms for information these days. This is where we should not fail in passing the message

And the good thing is...people are coming around of recent I e they are beginning to get educated about these things.

Once more, thanks for posting.

Peace
