(btw, your link from there was broken)<br /><br />To someone using Whitening cream, I would ask them why they use it, what they think it'll do for them compared to their natural skin tone. I would let them know what I think of delcious, cocoa-colored skin and what I think of whitening cream, heehee. But in the end, we too must respect their decisions and how they choose to present themselves, but if, in asking, we find points of ignorance, perhaps you can fill them in. And it never hurts to find lovely examples of dark-skinned beauty to surround and support your ideas. XDDDDD<br /><br />Either way, pitying doesn't do anyone much good. That look Jessica Simpson was giving Panya Bunjun made me gag.<br /><br />And here, I know you're an ally so I think you will find this interesting:<br />http://race.change.org/blog/view/ask_facebook_to_stop_running_racist_skin-lightening_appsjnguyễnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479079553134597550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5283569725589938503.post-12612740384031895572010-10-19T14:01:03.888-07:002010-10-19T14:01:03.888-07:00Facebook comments:

It's devastating to know that they don't associate brown with beautiful because I think it's one of the most beautiful honors to be born a WOC! <br /><br />The work is just to continue validating brown womyn and hope that more people will do it so that it starts to rub off.canelawomynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986441180317881376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5283569725589938503.post-19128252504249302462010-10-18T16:38:43.467-07:002010-10-18T16:38:43.467-07:00Your blog and website are fabulous, Tracey, and mu...Your blog and website are fabulous, Tracey, and much needed.
