(as odd as this may sound) this isn't an odd thing among young african americans, a lot of stores sale "skin bleaching cream" it's all over no percription needed. why is lightskin the ideal beauty in america? do you have a preference? i personally love my rich caramel skin, && think that EVERYONE should be happy && proud as is!

Your skin is a beautiful color, but I would consider you light skined. Yeah I don't understand how white girls want to make their skin darker while black girls want to make their skin lighter. I guess its the whole"wanting what you can't have" thing. stl man Posted at 3:23 pm on Oct. 19, 2008 yeah i dont understand it either. just be happy with what you have samantha89 Posted at 3:22 pm on Oct. 19, 2008 to each her own i suppose. i rather be darker.
