-- Posted by vividclass at 3:21 pm on Oct. 19, 2008 i was watching tyra banks the other say, her guest were women who wanted to be lightskinded so bad they began to bleach their skin. (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! -- Posted by The Artery at 3:21 pm on Oct. 19, 2008 I wish I was lighter. -- Posted by samantha89 at 3:22 pm on Oct. 19, 2008 to each her own i suppose. i rather be darker. -- Posted by stl man at 3:23 pm on Oct. 19, 2008 yeah i dont understand it either. just be happy with what you have -- Posted by misssmadejavuu at 3:23 pm on Oct. 19, 2008 Quote: from vividclass at 3:21 pm on Oct. 19, 2008 i was watching tyra banks the other say, her guest were women who wanted to be lightskinded so bad they began to bleach their skin.

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. -- Posted by vividclass at 3:27 pm on Oct. 19, 2008 I DON'T LITERALLY WANT LIGHTER SKIN, LOL! JUST HOW I TITLED IT, I'M PROUD && I THINK MY SKING BEAUTIFUL! -- Posted by Vbby at 3:34 pm on Oct. 19, 2008 I'm light skin, like really, really light, but Im not mixed. No white in me whatsoever.  People say what they want, but some of them have " dark skinned issues" -- Posted by switchfoot52 at 3:36 pm on Oct. 19, 2008 i wish i was a little bit tanner especially in the summer. it must be a new trend among african american ladies to be light skinned.
