@Serenasailor the before and after photos - wow!
@Carey & ABM
"...strain of duplicity and hypocrisy running through the criticism of Sosa."
"...who can cast the first stone?"
WFT?!
Sosa lightening his skin is without a doubt a symptom of self hatred and as such is a problem.
Saying that it is hypocritical to voice a concern, if ones does not also level the same criticism against women is obfuscating and ignoring the problem. Michael had a serious problem. Sosa appears to have one too. It is a shame and should not be condoned.
If we lived in a color blind society, I would not have a problem with Sosa. People could make themselves purple if they wanted. But clearly in a world where white is viewed superior and more attractive -- coloring ones skin because you feel your color is inferior is a mental illness. Rationalizing it or making excuses for it is indiciative of the same illness. |
