I'd rather be single for the rest of my life than change my skin tone to be more appealing to the public. I don't give a f****
Agree
💯
Yes girl 🔥🔥
Purple Noodles you better speak those facts and that’s real. I all the way agree with you
Preach sister 🥺❤️
Do they realize when they have kids their babies will come out dark skin.
Yeah they’ll probs use bleaching products as well lol :/
I was thinking the exact same thing. This is just sad.
People cant bleach DNA out,people can bleach their selves white as a snowflake, but when they have children, unless 1 parent is real light by nature,then the kid will come out dark.
@*£MPÊROR GÊLAWDÊOWŠ Ž €THIOPIA* bruh stop. black dudes do it too. the mental brainwashing from europeans is real.
Not necessarily because two dark skin parents could have a light skin baby and two naturally light skin parents can have a dark skin baby
Jeff is so unhappy with himself, you can see it in his eyes. It’s heartbreaking to watch.
Jeff’s problem is deeper than just his skin, there’s so much trauma in his story. I feel sorry for him, for everyone who struggles with the need to be lighter.
Body dysmorphia
Racism
sad you wear dirrty ugly black mask pretty wnow angel skin look beeter is reflect disney barbie first beeter domine ever black is dyscastyst
It's always deeper than skin
And he was so handsome with his original skin color

It's terrible
@@niamh7180 Stop lying.
At least he was telling the truth
He is honest
The bleaching makes the colour look unatural and ghostly looking!..😱
Marie White Yes...they actually look strange. Nothing natural looking about it. This is sad on so many levels. They would rather die light than to live in their natural skin! Wow.
@@ME-vb6pq ...Shame...Smh...😔
i know right.... dang... Just went from a 9 to a 2....
I could see spot bleaching to remove dark spots in your face....'''But to treat your entire body as a unwanted dark spot is insane...
The need to start counseling for self esteem in preschool to stop the sickness from spreading beyond the infected generation..
@@mssburr ... Yes...👏👏👏👏
My exact thought when I seen her
Please don't feel uncomfortable in whatever skin you have, there's no such thing as an ugly colour. You're beautiful just the way you are.
Ho really, why do you thing they want to chance their skin color? Because they're happy with their dará skin? Listen to them! They brain washed themselves.
Are we still talking about the same country that supposedly has overcome Apartheid?? Those guys grew up with the ideals of Nelson Mandela in their textbooks.. can all this hard fight and blood and suffering be forgotten soo easily?? 😣😢
These people are killing white people/farmers 😅
Mshoza passed away in 2020 due to complications of diabetes. One can't help to wonder if the chemicals in skin bleaching cream contributed to her death. She was only 37.
True
WHAT WOW
"the lighter the better"
What a disgrace.
That’s so heartbreaking
😂
He is a stupid stupid student suffering from low self esteem and inferiority complex
Do you blame him? He’s not getting this impression from thin air
We don't claim him we pass him on to the caucasians💀
That rapper is very hypocrite and reckless and she doesn't look beautiful with her bleached skin and plastic surgeries. On the other hand, the black model is very beautiful. It's not about the skin people, wake up!!
But u just judged them based on their skin..
I agreed the black model looks naturally beautiful the rapper just looks fake.
What you are trying to say is that what you are born as is beautiful, correct? Because if it’s not about the skin then why should we care what color people want to look like?
Wait! The police woman is also a rapper!
Ya it's not about the skin so lay off her.
As a darksinned South African young woman, I'm so proud of myself for nor being sucked into all of this regardless of all the pressure
🎀🌸
❤️🙏🏼💪🏼💯Stay true to yourself. Dark skin is beautiful.Never give in to any silly pressure! In Europe people use lipfillers, Brazilian butt lift, they want there body to be curvy😆. Those are dark skin features 😁.things are changing, we must never lose our identity. A mixed race woman is telling you this. I am proud of you. I hope people around you are taking you as an example. I pray.❤️🙏🏼
As a light skinned Jamaican woman I say to all my sisters that your skin is Gold 🙏🏼♥️ if your complexion is dark skinned love yourself I can’t tell you with enough words how beautiful you are ❤❤❤ “the lighter the better”💢⁉️ is not true. I’m sorry some of these people feel like they need to do this. I admire your complexion it’s beautiful and butter smooth. You glow in the sunlight like a Goddess 🙏🏼❤️ I pray you love you for you. I’m light skinned and I’m telling you I admire you and your Gorgeous theirs no need to do this to your blessing.
I love to hear it, beautiful ❤
I am white. I find the darkest dark almost black-chocolate skin so beautiful and stunning. Anything that is natural and healthy is beautiful. I am delighted that the presenter stood against the pressure to lighten her skin to fit in.
No no no black is beautiful. Please stop!
Redditor preference people love to use this word so loosely.
punctuation is your friend , i read it as no black is beautiful , while it should be : No , Black is beautiful .... i'm not black or native English speaker but i correct mistake when i see it , god bless y'all
Mariyah Ali all skin types are beautiful nobody should change their skin color
Mariyah Ali
Hypocrite
Mariyah Ali it’s also really hard to be a black persons it’s not easy
I honestly think the black skinned model was way prettier than the female rapper who endorsed those skin products
Definitely prettier.
That female rapper looked like the fucking Pillsbury dough girl not cute at all and wasn't cute before so she's just fucked!
That female rapper looks like a trans
@@anonymousok9089 ikr
True 😎😎
as a person from southeast Asia, here people bullies you for having dark skin. i really want to accept my own skin but i cant.
Hey. You are beautiful, one of a kind, in a sea of people who want the same stereotypical look and fashion. They will try to bring you down because they feel threatened. Their insecurities of looking "perfect" are being misplaced and it's really racist. Don't let them grind you into powder, be the diamond in the rough. 🖤
Stay strong and keep loving yourself! You deserve it and you are beautiful. As other commenter said, they are only projecting their insecurities onto you because they lack of this confidence that you have. You are amazing
I can understand how you feel. I am brown skinned too. I have heard about my skin tone since my childhood and even after marriage some family friends comments on my skin color. I was shocked when I came to the USA and many people commented about how good my brown skin looks. I did not know how to react as I had never heard that before.
Me too here in africa. I've been bullied since childhood and now scarred for life. I just can't accept my skin now
🥺
Jeff seems like a really decent guy. It's such a shame that he feels pressured to use carcinogens to promote his career. Hopefully he gets the confidence to try and make it in the music industry without them.
He might be gay, First timeI see an African man use bleaching products
@@Max-jn7gz this is actually normal in men too
Tanning is cancerous as well
There's no pressure they chose to have this just like the Hollywood blacks in America they love bleaching their skin light
Sad. Black people still don't know they are beautiful. I'M BLACK AND I'M PROUD. Say it again!!
I live in South Africa,it's actually 10 times worse then the documentary is showing🙁
83RN1C3 SBya that’s just heartbreaking.
lmao
I've honestly barely heard of people doing this
Why lie
In ALL AFRICA !
A super white European here (white as snow, lol). Please DON'T bleach your skin. Black is beautiful, brown is beautiful, white is beautiful... Every other color or shade is beautiful!
@B P I can't tan even *if* I wanted to. I also only burn so I guess I just don't want to be in pain as the top layer of skin is peeling whilst I'm trying to sleep.
Yellow?
B P actually I know many of my white friends who hate being pale so they use sun beds. It is harmful as well. Black people lightening their skin is a result of white ppl making dark skin unattractive. It’s actually shunned in the Black community whereas tanning is embraced in the white.ive seen many comments saying “white women are not trying to be black” but tbh they like the aesthetic... they pump their lips, do curly perms to get hair texture and get their bums/ hips done. The white aesthetic was more popular in the 90s but since then the Kardashian’s changed the western beauty standards..which mimics BW.
B P I agree tho that everyone wants what they don’t have. The few black women who bleach is a result of cultural assimilation not appropriation. Appreciate your comment tho.
0..0
I think the trap is that a lot of us suffer from hyperpigmentation. You try remove these spots with such products and then boom the compliments are endless and you start believing that it's because your light, when in fact it because your skin is even toned.
True
LISTENNNNNNNN lol they don't wanna talk about that!
This truth here!!! Do you know when I get spot it is very noticeable...I try to use natural products and dermabrasion. Hydroquinone is very harsh for the skin and its painful to me to use. Vitamin C is awesome!!!!! The sun is not your friend it will ruin you skin and give you leather face....Sunscreen!!!!!!!!
Yea it looks more fresh when it's even toned, regardless of skin tone
But you can get tested and safe products for hyperpigmentation. Like tranexamic acid, it's great for the purpose and works safely even on deep skin tones. No need to use the harsh and toxic stuff. And sunscreen! Even darker skin benefits from SPF because it will prevent hyperpigmentation caused by UV light.
It maked me pissed when I had him say "the lighter the better" 😡
Me to!!!!
Seeing educated college kids believing whiter skin is more attractive just kills me. I personally love & appreciate all skin tones. This thinking is so antiquated, it's crazy!
@Elon Pate Nah, it's antiquated. As well as extremely unhealthy & destructive. As for the rest of your rant, that may be true for some as there are definitely shitty ppl in this world. However, labeling large groups of ppl into a sweeping generalization does nothing to benefit the end goal of unity. That's just as racist as the white ppl in your statement.
@Elon Pate & I mentioned "college educated" ppl because racism may be perpetuated through hatred but it's founded in ignorance.
@Elon Pate Oh I see... you're crazy lol I'll admit your first comment was a red flag but against my better judgement I chose to engage. Everyone knows you can't argue with crazy. So here we find ourselves at an impasse & with that sir/madam, I bid you adieu.
college has no right to push morals or ethics onto students, they are only for academic teachings
You should mind your own business.
"We have to sell a fake world." I hope this made you realise how unrealistic and dangerous our beauty standards are.
Right?
Exactly.. A fake ass world full of fake ass people..
Kimberly Dooley and Fake Asses
Cloudchild19 exactly. Pretty toxic, damaging & disgusting
They have to sail a fake world which means that They don't care what's in the product as long at it bring it in the money Which may if I was a man in Africa I would not want a light skin woman who has bleached herself she is Fake It's Tales me that that woman have low self esteem
It’s lowkey heartbreaking the way the female rapper remains in staunch denial at the end of the video when she’s confronted with the reality of what she’s endorsing. She’s determined to forever prioritize lighter skin over potentially dying or having her own skin rot away like that one poor woman’s. Then again, her denial is of the sort that revolves around not wanting to know- as if remaining in the dark about what those creams do will shield her from the reality. She herself admitted to having had an expert explain what the product contained but she can’t remember because she didn’t want to. The imagine of Beyonce on her blouse speaks volumes- aesthetics over health. I resist judging her though, as I have no idea what it’s like to be under that kind of cultural/racial pressure. The whole concept is so sad and I just hope she takes care of herself because I truly feel for people like Jeff and the lady that damaged her skin beyond repair. She must live in pain every day, I hope at least being treated for it can minimize that. I’m sure once people are past being truly helped, they do learn their lesson and shouldn’t be shamed- just use their stories as cautionary tales for others. That said, it’s great to see some South Africans embrace their beautiful, natural dark skin and promote it proudly as we saw in that photoshoot.
She unfortunately ended up dying. News says because of diabetes, but I'm thinking it's from liver and kidney damage from hydroquinone skin bleaching, seeing as she couldn't even be in the sun. Just really sad and unnecessary.
Are we still talking about the same country that supposedly has overcome Apartheid?? Those guys grew up with the ideals of Nelson Mandela in their textbooks.. can all this hard fight and blood and suffering be forgotten soo easily?? 😣😢
tbh we don't like what we have until sh*t happens and you regret what you had.
That's why i don't want to touch nothing about myself, especially my face, im just the way i am and i need to accept what i have and thank God and everyone that cares about me for caring for me.
.
Stay strong everyone ❤
I do hope that one day all skin tones, from the palest ivory to the darkest ebony, will be celebrated as beautiful...
I agree 💖
Same too❤
keep dreaming on 💫
lol you said ebony that’s a porno word
Papi Mordecai no its not ebony is just a better word for black
"In TV we sell a fake world. " Its the reason why I don't admire TV personality that much
South Africa has an EXTREMELY high crime rate, it seems bizarre that they would spend so many law enforcement resources on creams instead of theft or worse
Fake food 2024
that's true but that doesn't mean they are wrong for doing this
They do . This video is focused on this skin bleaching problem. You just decided to look the other way
This just hurts my soul. I recoil inside when I see someone with bleached skin. It's like their self-hatred is on display and is downright embarrassing. It hurts even more when someone gains some success with their natural beauty and then start bleaching themselves until they look almost inhuman. The brainwashing is just too real.
Same!
Jeff looks different because he grew his hair and beard! And it's his attitude that's changed because he thinks his skin is lighter.
True,I have known someone who's been using for more than 10 years
Lol. Right- think he still look dark to me
Ok cause when i saw the before picture i was like he wasn't dark anyway. 🤷🏾♀️ Lord help us all. The only thing I've ever tried to lighten was my chin area. Instead of waxing my facial hair I plucked and now I have really dark spots. Hmmm, as I continued watching I see he was a darker in his youth.
@@erikap8854 maybe it's the lighting in the picture
Praying his skin gets darker 🙏
Yellow bone today, but old dusty crusty tomorrow with all kinds of cancers and skin problems.
Lankston101 wordddd
Plus, they are not yellow...they are paper sack brown 🤷🏽♀️
I agree 💯🤣🤣🤣😫😫
Amen sis. All of the bleached faces look unhealthy.
yup
The black model is absolutely stunning, I adore her skin tone it’s beautiful. I really hope these people stay true to themselves, you can’t change your roots ❤.
The college boy they interviewed, jeff, was so handomse and happy even before the skin bleaching. So sad that skin bleaching is so big in so many countries
The dark skinned model on the photoshoot was extremely beautiful. Meanwhile the young lady who is endorsing the bleaching product looks like Ronald McDonald. Anytime you can tell a person that their choices may cause harm to their bodies yet persist in doing so, then you already know you are dealing with a truly stupid person. They either believe it will not happen to them or the effects are just not real.
Alovellyone right👏👏
Yeah I was stunned by the dark skinned model.
Or they hate themselves so much they would rather die trying this (bleaching) then to remain the same and try loving themselves. I don't think they are stupid. I think they have very low self-esteem. That makes people do remember crazy things.
EXACTLY...SHE WAS STUNNING... GLORIOUS... BREATHTAKING !!!!
She makes me think of Nicki Minaj
Lupita Nyongo anyone? One of the most beautiful skins I've ever seen.
In no fucking way!
Elisa Mondragon ??
Elisa Mondragon you’re fucking blind.
Lupita is a gorgeous natural beauty
dude her skin is glowing. She looks 20. I was shocked to know she was in her 30s.
It’s clear that she’s confiscating the product then using it 🙄
I was thinking the same thing
This really hits home, colorism is so prevalent in communities of color. I tried to bleach my skin in college because I wanted to be more appealing. Growing up with a wide nose, coily hair, and dark skin in a predominantly white school and university made me feel incredibly undesirable.
"Mshoza is one of the country's biggest female rappers"

Lol u can say that again :who the hell is she,where does she do her appearances 😁😁😁

I genuinely feel bad for them. Self love has to come from within and those of us who have it are truly blessed.
It's interesting that even the reporter describes herself as dark skinned when I don't feel she is at all. I can only imagine how people who are much darker than her feel in Bangladesh.

@@karfomachet7265 OKAAAAY???? just what i was thinking.
Mshoza doesn't like her self
This is so incredibly sad....to not be comfortable in the God -given skin you were born with because of what society dictates.
The day people stop caring about your skin color. That day this entire skin whitening company would collapse.
I support the banning of skin bleaching. The store own should be banned also. :-)
They should be banned from the entire Africa!!! They are all Asians who bring the self hate disease, and the self hate creams and make these products.
Spa Eau Claire I know black children buying these things without the knowledge of parents, should we hold those children accountable. We shouldn't make excuses but we should be aware of the causes and the illegal distribution should be targeted. The should be more awareness. People like you always believe free will without understanding other factors that play a role.
Tv Robotic - Yep, if you want a tan get it natural or accept you are not tan. If you want to be lighter again, accept that your skin not light. EVERYONE ACCEPT YOUR SKIN TONE!!!
Should be prisoned, this is GBH. These idiots as called shop owners causing serious injuries which severely affect the health of the victims.
AJ B Exactly!!!
They should endorse moisturizer, healthy skin is good skin
Summer Coles yesss and spf
They don't like their colour, it doesn't matter if their skin is good or not.
Vanessa G that’s exactly why she used the word “should“..
*BING * ☺
I can't believe there are still people going through dangerous risks to look more beautiful, whether it's skin-whitening, plastic surgery, and the such. Everyone just needs to accept themselves the way they are, plus there is good modeling wear for all skin tones where no one has to result in operating or chemical risks.
I am Caucasian I used to go every summer to the beach to get a dark tan when I was younger, then I stopped because it made me look older, I had developed a sun stain on my forehead that would never go away, I used a skin lightner that I got at the pharmacy only on that spot and it's gone. it's odd how some people want their skin lighter and others get deep dark tans because they want it darker, I suppose we are never happy.
She said mshoza is more famous for her skin bleaching than her music 🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
And yes she is right
right or bright :)
@Ralph Knowles wtf are u on
I hate you guys😂😂😂She’s absolutely right (and that’s about the only this lie of a documentary got right) that’s how rare and ridiculous skin bleaching is in SA...ppl kick her for it and I think she’s not well each time I see her on TV or magazine. My Mum says she used to rap, I’m 20, no idea what she sings but I know her as the bleached famous woman
RIP
She has passed away.
I thought the host was very empathetic and also asked all the right questions
Scary stuff. I appreciate the honesty of those who agreed to speak on camera.
The lady that said she is now considered "yellow bone" you are at best brown skin. It's still hard to believe that this is still going on.
Self hate is getting worst.😢
There is no hate here. It's just extroverts trying to maximize their social clout by any means necessary. Look at make up or tanning. It's the same with dumb extroverts everywhere. Find me a black nerd who bleaches.
Colourism is a real thing in South Africa even in 2019
because white people better
I don't think it's a thing in europe and america cause they actually like to tan but i don't know if you're really dark would it be acceptable or not
@@ottonturk2810 Nope. White people may have promoted themselves and some people brought into it.
Vuyo Gqola so sad
It is even a bigger thing in asian
arresting someone for selling skin lightening product is barbaric, and ridiculous
That's what iwas thinking maybe you give them a fine with a warning but arrest when most of them didn't know. Only in this country. Idon th think they had a warrant.
As a South African woman I am absolutely shocked and embarrassed at this! I always thought we were abit better (when it comes to skin bleaching) than other African countries eg. Nigeria. 😳
Also, RIP to our Kwaito star Mshoza 🕊️😢
Me too. This comes as big surprise to me because I always believed South Africans don't do bleaching😢
We are this is afrikaaner propaganda.
You know sisi us black south africans we don't bleach we are khoisan orgin.
This is nonsense.
I am glad the police are confiscating these
naledi why?
Gosh!! im against skin bleaching as well but y the polce lady in the beginning acting like she dont bleah her skin!!!LOL
+Marian Nimoh 😂😂😂😂😂
Riiiiiiiiiight.... oh please I've been in SA for several times and they just do that for the camera every single one can get one of these everywhere and the police officers make even own money by selling those products for their own benefits behind the scene .... GET DA F*CK OUTTA HERE.... PLEASE OFFICERS (smhwrme)
Like the dude said " we have to sell you a fake world". That should be a wake up call for the masses right there.
The officer isn’t bleaching HER FOUNDATION JUST DON’T MATCH 😂😂
She kept many confiscated bleaching creams
😂😂😂😂😂
it is hard to find darker foundation. they have more now days though
I was kinda wondering
And gave the extra to her family and friends
This has to be a form of body dysmorphia - how they do this to their skin and think they look better is beyond me!
This was so disheartening. Our skin is so unique….so beautiful. It’s a shame what “standards” have done to our self love & image. 🖤☀️
You are completely right. It is the same with body type. I watched a documentary where mothers were basically fattening up their daughters to make them more attractive (fat was considered beautiful there). Meanwhile people are starving them selves in Western societies to be skinny.
ugly bored dirrty pretty unigue is only snow devine magic never you she shult sale more cream for dark ugly garbage
Melanin is not unique. When you lose it , Your white.
Fair skin is more attractive. Much more softer and creamier. No one finds dark skin attractive. Not even young children. And people who say "Black is beautiful are just pretending virtue signallers. Even they don't try to look like blacks or even date black people.

“As long as white is seen as more beautiful, skin bleaching will never come to an end”. I completely agree.

Eric P White isn’t seen as more beautiful to everyone. This is the myth and the brainwashing that people have taken as truth.
Nu Journeys Counselling are u blind or nah?
Honestly the best thing they can do is social change. Changing the mindset of the people, especially the children about their skin and teach them how to love themselves. Let's make these practices a thing of the past. Natural is the new cool. I lived in South Africa when I was a kid and it holds a really special place in my heart, I hope that the whole of Africa will be free from colorism some day soon.
As an Indian brown girl I deal with a lot of pressure everyday because of my skin tone....but with maturity, comes self acceptance... I've been so obsessed with looking lighter till the age of almost 17 years. After that I embraced my skin tone and deep inside I'm at peace with this. But you can't shut up society and the relatives. A brown woman feels happy to destroy a brown girl's spirit , I'm so done with it .
me too, I'm not Indian but I come from another Asian country in which fair skin is idolized. My skin are not light nor dark, average I guess. But social media always tell me about: how to have lighter skin, all the products, why lighter skin is better,... I'm grateful that now I'm educated enough so that I know my own values and never let those absurd beauty standard influence on me. However, in the past, I loved light skin as many other girls, and well at least I didn't risk my health to do all the insane skin-bleaching things. But out there many girls who are not mature and strong enough are damaging their own mental and physical health to become whiter. Such a sad reality.
Dark skin people bleaching to be lighter, light skin people tanning to be darker,what's wrong with this world. Can someone please take me to Mars? I want out already!!!
Skky lotus lol let's go
wanjiru chelagat I'll pick you up over the weekend we go,😂😂😂😂😂😝😝😝😝
Do you really believe that when people go to Mars that all of this mentality will stay in Earth? yes or no.
Skky lotus exactly my point. I'm so done!!!
Kevin Jacquet by saying I want to go to Mars was just a figure of speech likening it to how frustrating it is being here on earth. But to answer your question I believe that as long as there are human beings anywhere in the universe things like these can't end. We simply have so much self hate that we can't see beyond the scope of how wonderfully God made us in our diversity in creation and that makes me so very sad.
I feel sad for the guy, he is so handsome, his color had no difference in his beauty.
Effect of colonialism
@WILL HOLYGONS 👎🏼 how about if I tell you. You lool ugly too🤨
It's crazy that he is What bleaching His Self to become a rapper really and to promote harmful chemical Trust me they know that the product that they are using is legal What are they going to do when they get married and have children are they want to bleach them child will be confused wondering They are dark skin and their Parents are light skinned
And there Government Are letting these prada be sold right out on their street Why record they have any hand in the cookie jar not just Making money off the product being sold but helping to bring it in Trust me It's all about the Benjamins
RIP Mshoza... we South African miss you so much hope your family knows that we dont remember you for your skin but, for your talent and you were such a great mom to your boys 😭😭😭
She is an irresponsible loser promoting racism and dangerous health practices, that's the opposite of a good mother

What happened to her?
@@v.a.993 she's dead
I had use tretinoin+hidroquinone in the past for melasma treatment for a short period of time and I had to avoid the sun and use sunscreen with high SFS with other medical creams during that time. How can this people think hidroquinone can be used as a cosmetics without any medical supervision? just unbelievable 😰
The lighter skin doesn't even look natural here. It looks almost cadaverous in a sense. Simply Casket Ready. Just horrid. There is a level of liberation to be felt when the decision is made to love yourself in spite of the negativity. It's the best kind of love in my opinion.

I don’t care which celebrity is light skinned, if men won’t marry me or who won’t hire, I am definitely staying black.
Correct!!!!
EXACTLY
Same for me.
I second that!

“On tv u have to sell a fake world”
Basically the synopsis of the video!
Those fake lightskins look so unnatural 🤦🏽♀️
Yea I agree, it looks like Michelle is wearing an actually face mask. Personally I love dark skinned girls, so beautiful. Irs a shame what the media has done. Beyonce añd other celebrities bleach there skin, since then,I have noticed a rise in people bleaching there skin.
Adriana M What makes it unnatural are her features, a fake dark skin or light skin can be spotted if the features look off.
@@fortzprod.8096 yes, that was my friends case, she then had a nose job,to make it thinner, and now she has trouble breathing,and always sounds like she has a cold,she deeply regrets the procedure now,as not only does she have problems breathing from her nose,but it is so thin,it looks like micheal jacksons nose after his opps. She even admits now that media has alot to play with ,what is and should be classed as beautiful. I loved her natural, button nose and dark skin, and my friend also misses her old natural look,she hates looking in the mirror now, and suffers from depression because of it all. Plz if anyone reading this ,n thinking of having any procedures done,plz do not rush into it,and learn to love your self ,maybe counseling would be a good idea b4 havinv it done.😘ps. REAL GIRLS ARE NEVER PERFECT AND PERFECT GIRLS ARE NEVER REAL. ❤
Unnatural ad outright ugly; I'm sorry.
Exactly you can always tell when someone is bleaching there skin
What’s funny is dark skinned people want to get lighter but light skinned people what to get darker
White or Lighter skinned people wanna get darker but without the issues that come with having dark skin, while darker people wanna get lighter because in some of their minds white is right & better & they can't accept themselves for who they are.
People always want what they don't have.
Discontentment😞
@@mrmrsbaron5364 white people want darker skin which means a tan and not black dark sure black peopke comes in all shade of brown but white people only want that slightly tan Its not common that white people wants dark skin when there are various of black people.who do want a pale white skin
@@mrmrsbaron5364 well yeah they want to get darker because it looks as if they went on vacation, they don't want to look black or brown lol
yeah
I live in a middle eastern country. They sale these creams.
this is self-hate at its finest
This guy😂😂does he know we prefer tall, dark and handsome
Rest lol they don’t I’ll take me a piece of special dark anyyyyy day
Not everybody.
that's what I'm saying and I'm FROM South Africa ugh
You prefer that bc your culture tells you to. They are doing the same, but plz go ahead and speak for everyone.
@@royriley6282 she's speaking for the people who do prefer darkskins, for whatever reason.
They need psychologists. This is deeper.
i don't think it is
its the pressure of media lie magazines who made themselves entiteld to define beauty standards.black beauty rarely stand a chance to be valued.
right agree 100% with u. I feel disgusted and uncomfortable after watching that.
No buddy its called living in apartheid under white supremacy.
I don't think it is?😒
This is very strange for me as I am from Sweden and people here try to be more tanned since it is associated with wealth but in countries such as South Africa it is the complete opposite
Black skin is healthy sun loving skin. As a pale white woman having to use SPF 50 to go outside I would give anything to have some melanin
As a South African, I'm so embarrassed at how true this all is. Eurocentric beauty standards still thriving in our societies
It's the same in the United States to a degree. I want you to know you are beautiful you are a queen
It's funny tho, we don't see these people as successful. Anyone can see how bad she looks.
My sister told me that few weeks ago someone asked her why she doesn't bleach her skin because she is beautiful but would look way more beautiful if she was lighter 😥
@@rebotilemokone5859 i would slap that person. Be like "whew your anti blackness is showing!"👊
@@crazynats367 99.99% of the time its black women that tell other black women they need lighter skin so i doubt racist is the right term...
They should do a documentary about Korea’s skin bleaching injections as well ...
They do
Injections?? Wtf I’m gonna look that up
E E Korean are white as Mila from the are children. Do not believe come to Queens in New York City and you we see it.
I'm Korean and have never heard of any skin bleaching. Cosmetic surgery industry sure is huge here but skin bleaching? Never heard of it.
Injections??
This was a great documentary. I especially loved how sensitive and thoughtful the reporter was here. Jeff, wherever you are, I hope that you are well. Mshoza - may you rest in peace. The world is a cruel place
the police officer, she herself has a bleached skin
That model with darker skin near the end is gorgeous!!! Her bone structure is wonderful and goes well with her color, she's much prettier than the rapper for sure!
riosbethany She is soo beautiful
She is stunning... And i think Mshoza looks disgusting with her 'new' skin. I can't believe she thinks it looks good.
riosbethany ,that is when other raises looking to other raises,but if you belong to the same raises,you won't gudge subjectively,
The rapper is ghastly! She's as ugly as Tiny, American rapper T.I.'s wife. Darker skin would be kinder on those features.
"In TV we have to sell a fake world!"
That's what they do in any industry and country. Now in USA fake tan is most popular.
This is not just a South African issue, it's a global problem now.
The fact that that 'PR manager' said all that with so much confidence is baffling, just goes to prove how much the 'creative industry' plays a key role in creating the wrong beauty standards for the younger generation. I quite a job back in Uni after I noticed that there was a clear bias for girls with lighter skin, we are all Africans for crying out loud, it's just annoying and sad.
11 pm: just one more video
12 am: ending up watching documentaries
N it goes on till 6 am :(
best solution: get a job
My life
@@pichichipichi at 11pm?
Me rn.. I have A LOT of assignments due
It actually hurts to see black people doing this and this female's PR saying lighter is better smh
For the people they are targeting to reach yes it’s better to be lighter.
I used to be teased as a kid for being super pale. I was called a ghost at one point because i was so pale my skin was slightly translucent.
I remember trying to spend more time outside without any sunscreen, only succeeding in sunburns. I found out later many childhood severe sunburns is a high risk factor for skin cancer. Im constantly checking my freckles, already had 2 snipped off.
This whole video has given me a new appreciation for my skin. Its comforting seeing what i considered ugly on myself is the goal for some, grass really is greener on the other side.
Why are they so pressed on what others do to their bodies? They don't want them to be lighter because they don't want bleachers To be seen as higher socially than they are.
Why the hell do they use me like this
Edit: holy shit 561 likes thank you so much!
Lmao. 😂😂😂
I'm sorry that they use you like that.
Loll
legend. lmao.
Idiot
Off topic, but that Bangladeshi Journalist is just GORGEOUS!
Isn't she just 💕
I was looking for this comment she's gorgeous but when she said dark bengladeshi I rolled my eyes she not dark I've seen darker
Going to the extreme of hurting your skin and maybe causing cancer and skin problems and even organ failure just to look lighter is heartbreaking it s not just their fault it s what society makes them go through and the discrimination they get and the chances they lose because of being you it s really messy those rules and trends really messed up everything
I remember I never ever wanted to bleach my skin, I've always love my colour. I'm brown skinned and I love it.
Im an extremely dark african woman and I love it 🤩
You better 🥰
Yes!!!!
Truth don’t feel bad for me , I m young successful and beautiful
What about you ?
@@truth803 I feel bad for you, to actually say that to someone you don't know and who actually is very happy in their skin.
Lui Fuga 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💅🏾
They need to also ban these creams in more West African, Asian & Caribbean countries. This epidemic needs to end asappp! Love yourself and the skin you’re in !
Z I N A • T A R A agree, they should be ban I. All black country.
Z I N A • T A R A guurrrlll you are soo right💯✔️
Don’t say that for Asians 😡
it could also give people cancer
Jhoann Fajardo it should be banned in all countries people could get cancer from that cream
All I’m hearing is “wanting the attention of others”
It’s disgusting. You are beautiful whatever colour you are. You’re naturally beautiful and everyone should be proud what they see in the mirror
