kandiikane: I am glad you understand and you can understand why you shouldn't be picking such things in other people's race. And don't get me wrong again, I have defended the west countless time when shyt is being spoken on here but I will defend my own first on anything. I hope you understand.

I do understand, and I don`t have any problem admitting I am wrong. I am stubborn, though, not gonna lie about that.

kandiikane: Now, you see why I have the RIGHT to criticise my people?

I can criticise the bumster as well, trust me! Those boys..damn, that is too much. I am never gonna understand how any women can fall for that sh*tload of "sweet-talk". Bah.

kandiikane: Stop talking rubbish! I know you've experienced the azzlicker hospitality from your husband's people and others around, restaurants, hotels, etc just because you're white.

Yes, I am a born and bred Gambian and I can critise my people if need me, what exactly is your point.

Don't get me wrong, they still chat shyt behind your back but what annoys me is even that, they will still come right in your face with huge smile and tongues out ready to lick your azz, just because you're what? White.

I did not go to any hotel or restaurant..the only as*lickers where the bumsters in Serrekundamarked. Banjul was the worst marked to go to, they shoot up the prices and kiss you a*s insanely, just because, yeah, I am white.

@kenyattaMoore:
Thankyou,I could not have said it any better! Not every black bleaches.just because we want to protect our skin does not mean dat we are not proud of it. JallowBah you are married to an african does not mean that you are now african and you are allowed to say certain things.

Like I said...I did not know about the patches. And I can, and will, say certain things. But when I am wrong, I also admit it, like I did.

kandiikane: Don't blame her. It's because in Gambia, the uneducated think she is a demigod so when she comes here announcing the same all over, she expects us to treat her the same. Lol

Foolish Gambians!

The only fools who treat whites as demigods in Gambia, is the bumsters, and I stay out of their way.
You are gambian yourself, right? Why call gambians foolish?

kandiikane: Okay..even if that was the case, what's wrong with someone saying I don't want to go "any darker than I already am"? Isn't it the same way whites go "omg, I don't want to go pale, in to the sunbed I go?" When a black skin darkens, it's never even. The face goes dark, back of neck etc.

Poc=people of colour? "Too many are not proud of their skin"

Hmm, well, I wonder why? Hmm

WTF! Are you guys proud of your pale skin? Why do you spend millions each year on sunbeds catching cancer or getting roasted under the sun on holidays? Why do you spend millions on harmful products trying to get rid of wrinkled skin at 30?
Why are you guys not proud of your wrinkled skin? Why aren't you proud of your invisible lips.

Before you try to take the speck out of another race's eye, take the log out of yours.

P.s. I'm not racist, the same way you said too many people of colour aren't proud of their skin is the same way I'm saying all this.

Why should I not be proud of my skin? I am proud of how I look, including my skin-color, and so should anyone else in this world be.
But I do agree with you. White people are brought up with commercials on "how to get darker", while dark people get "how to get lighter".

I can not speak for what others do, I can only speak for myself. I look at my grandmother, and I love every wrinkle she have in her face. She have never used a single anti-wrinkle-product in her life. She colors her hair, though. She exercise daily, she eats healthy, and she don`t lay out in the sun. When she smiles, she get ten times more wrinkles, and she looks beautiful.

But you are true; many, I would say most in my country, don`t look at it like that. They want to look as young as possible as long as possible, with sun-kissed skin from machines, injections to straighten their skin and to plump up their limps.

kandiikane: I believe kenyetta is talking about this and probably a whole lot of others.

First of all, you are white! You hardly have any melanin in you. Aren't you a blue eyed blonde?
You don't really suffer from hyperpigmentation, so, it's quite stup!d for you to compare your skin to a black skin. If anything, if it doesn't turn you 'dark', it will turn a black person's skin dark.

And for the proud of your dark skin thing? How does that correlate with someone not wanting to get hyperpigmation or malasma etc. Are you saying we should be proud of hyperpigmentation? Do you think it's normal for blacks not to have an even skintone so we have to be proud of all the uneven patches etc?

You see, how it doesn't correlate? If someone says they don't want to ne darken by a product it doesn't mean, they are not proud, they know the product will not give them a lovely even darken glow, no, the product may give them nasty unattractive patches. Just because they are black doesn't mean they should be ok with dark patches all over their bodies. Everyone wants a nice even colour.

This is not the first time I've heard people complain about black soap darken, maybe it actually does for some but I have never experienced it either and I've used it for a long time.

I hope you get this gist.

Wow, alright.

I misunderstood the post that people have come with, cause I thought they meant "I don`t want to be more dark than I already am", not "I don`t want dark patches". My reason for saying be proud of your color was based on that, and the fact that bleaching is being sold too much, IMO.
Too many PoC`s are NOT proud of their dark skin, and do not want to become darker.

I never heard anyone complain about the soap that way before, either. I have only heard good things about it.

I am a green-eyed blonde, yes. We also have skin that can get bad-colored patches when using wrong products, and young white girls are even bying something called "the bardie-dope" to inject to become darker, and that can leave you with dark patches here and there, and do not look right at all.
I actually have some darker patches on my belly from using the wrong lotions before.

You see...misunderstanding. Is it out of the way, then?

@kenyattaMoore:
I just don't have time nor strength to explain to you something you already know. Shove your "have a good day"in your asss please, thankyou!

I find it offensive when people tell me to show something up my a*s. And if I already knew, I would not have asked.

@kenyattaMoore:
Never mind

Alright. But then don`t complain about me being offensive, if you can not explain me what you considered offensive. I can`t know if nobody tell me.
Have a good day

@kenyattaMoore:
@JallowBah,I think you know exactly what I am talking about,you are not as clever as you think you are. Plz re-read your last posts.

Heh, sorry, but like I said; I don`t see the offensive part there. So, again: enlighten me.

kandiikane: I think you should go back through all your posts from when and where I've been pointing out your ignorant comments.

I was talking about this thread, and the writing I made, where someone else in here says I am offensive, and you seemed to agree.
If I misunderstood, and you do not agree; sorry, my bad.
I I understood correctly, and you also found something offensive there; enlighten me.

kandiikane: Obviously, when someone is ignorant they won't see where they've gone wrong even if it slaps them right in the face.

Instead of writing this, you could use your energy on explaining me exactly what I wrote that was offensive.

kandiikane: Now, you understand what I was going on about a couple of days ago.

Pff, don`t even try. I am even asking why she mean I am offensive here, and unless someone explains me why, I can not see the problem.
Thats one of the problems with writing things on a forum; people translate the sentences different. What might seem offensive to one, another might not even notice.

@kenyattaMoore:
Your posts can be offensive sometimes, I wish I did not have to read them.

How?

mr skincare: @JallowBah I can authoritatively tell you that African black soap is available in Gambia.
I know that Oyinlewa Black Soap is sold in Gambia (check out the Nigerian stores and supermarkets).
If you need more help on how to locate black soap in Gambia, kindly contact me: witsoftng@gmail.com or leave a post on this thread.

Like I said; I discovered it in Gambia, but they do not sell it in my country. My country is in Scandinavia But there are plenty of naija-shops here, I just have forgot about it.

And..I highly doubt it changes the color of your skin. Should I not have become more dark when I was using it..?
Plus: Be proud of your dark skin, people. It is beautiful.

Haha..the nigerians I see in Norway are not acting any better than the white men. Bumping and grinding on the dancefloor, with their tounge down some girls troath

There is exeptions in all, Onila. But in the western culture, there is not a problem with french-kissing on the first date, or going to bed together on the first date either. Different strokes for different folks. Find a guy who share your view on the matter

I discovered the black soap after going to the doctor with a rash on my legs in Gambia two years back..I absolutely love it, but have not been able to find it in my country.
Gonna stop by some other nigerian shops next week and check again, thanks for the reminder
