Sad about the Blacks thing. That’s a real shame– and somewhat hypocritical in the whole racism thing..

I’m on the other end of the scale – I get told to sunbathe, that my blue legs are offensive and that I look sick, people stare at me in the summer.
I live in northern europe and cannot buy makeup from stores because there’s none fair enough. Maybe one day white skin will be considered beautiful again. Hope I live to see it.

Comment on Men really do like Mad Women by lena

The reason all those complicated/neurotic women with over-compulsive disorders exist in the first place is due to the man’s world that we live in. Most women are just trying to gain stability in their lives while men never even have to grow up. Girls, It is time to wake up and realize all the bullshit that society and the media are constantly trying to shove down our throats. And stop trusting everything that we read in woman’s magazines and things written by women who are obviously brainwashed like the rest. Stop spending all our time trying to figure out how to get a man and how to keep him and how to sexually please him like a porn star and basically how to worship him like a fucking living god. Because, if we don’t someone else will? Give me a fucking break people. No wonder so many young women in this country are on the verge of suicide. The men have become complete spoiled brats constantly showered with toys aka women. And just like they are with their electronic toys, they get bored with their women, and move on and splurge to replace her with the newest hottest toy on the market. It is ridiculous how much money is made in the business of exploiting woman’s emotions involving men. Women need to take a stand and boycott these forms of negative media. We all need to become truly independent of men and stop playing these stupid head games. We need to bring them up to our level of standards and responsibility to maintain a healthy relationship. We need to strengthen our sisterhood ship and look out for one another. We all need to be ourselves and refuse to pretend to be someone else. We all need to stop faking orgasms. We should all go out and buy vibrators and/or whatever gets the job done self sufficiently. And we should all use our valuable time that we are usually wasting trying to please men and please ourselves. Come on Ladies, we can do whatever the fuck we want and we don’t have to take shit from any man! Because we are just as good as they are if not better.

I am an Indo-Trinidadian living in the Netherlands. Believe me when I say racism is probably independent of skin colour. When I first moved here I was amazed at the popularity of tanning salon and skin darkeners and bronzers, which actually lightened my skin. These Caucasian women were obsessed with dark, tanned skin. I had always loved my glowing, brown skin, but with the lack of sunlight now I’m a shade of unbaked dough, slightly darker than everyone else. My golden colour and my now fair colour does not stop anyone from discriminating against me. I cannot say if the particular racists I’ve encountered objected to dark skin per se, but generally they are a society that is tan obsessed. The obsession to be fair cannot then come from a predominantly Caucasian European society, rather T&T itself.
My dark skinned Indo husband gets the racism too, but also a fair amount of appreciative female looks. Maybe the motivation behind racism lies in who we ARE not our skin colour.
*Sigh*…I was a lovely brown once.
