This skin-bleaching problem in Nigeria needs to seriously be addressed. My family in two spots (Nigeria, and the West Indies) where that shyt is an everlooming problem.
It really is not a problem amongst AAs IMHO as I do see West Indians and West Africans...I don't see East Africans on that skin bleaching bullshyt.
I notice Afro-Latinos on that skin bleaching shyt too.
And I never got that shyt either, the fukk would I want to look like the people who slaughtered my ancestors and raped and enslaved them? That's some serious mental illness, stockholm syndrome, and abuse.
It is a serious issue that needs to be addressed I agree. Yea you’re right I don’t see East Africans bleaching their skin or getting perms as much. I wonder why west Africa truly has this problem. I don’t want to sound judgmental but women often do things for attention whether it’s male or female. Unfortunately lighter skin gets more attention and that needs to be addressed. There are so many beautiful darker complexed women here and I’m sure many other countries/ continents
I think there needs to be an emphasis in media of women of darker shades. In my opinion media is the biggest influential tool in my lifetime. Nollywood is booming right now, if they catered to all shades that can maybe help.
Its funny because you leave racism back in the states when you travel to a predominately Black Country but then you see the self hate that racism has instilled.

and
when we patronize their hair salons and other businesses.
