Dark is beautiful. I guess white folks are slowly learning that lol

Many white folks do believe that tanned skin looks better and healthier, as long as it's not "too dark."

Yes white skin often looks like a person is sickly or dying.

Funny. Being that tanning itself has been proven to be cancerous so it backfires. They are willing to die for it. -
In American society, tan skin used to be associated with being a lowly farmer or field worker because you only got them toiling away in the fields. Whites of mid to upper society were excessively pale and they wanted it that way because it meant you didn't work outdoors like a commoner.
It wasn't until vacationing at the beach became a part of American life that tanning was deemed acceptable. It meant that you were affluent enough to be able to afford to take your family to the beach, as it was something that not everyone could afford. A tan became a symbol of higher status because of this. -

One sick tanorexic told her doctor that at least she would be an "attractive corpse".
We're still a few months away from bathing suit season, but that isn't stopping the American Academy of Pediatrics from essentially telling the nation's teenagers to knock it off when it comes to tanning.
The organization is advocating legislation that would ban those younger than 18 years old from using tanning beds and asking parents to limit their children's sun exposure, recommendations published in this month's "Pediatrics."
Tanning beds produce intense UVA radiation, with some units exposing users to UVA that is 10 to 15 times higher than that of midday sun, the report states.
The rays ? deeper and are more likely to cause melanoma and other effects on the skin, said Dr. Suzanne Kilmer, a board-certified dermatologist and the founding director of the Laser Skin and Surgery Center in Sacramento, Calif.
"We're trying to limit tanning-bed use because we know now that it's carcinogenic," she said. "Just like we don't let kids smoke or drink, we shouldn't let them use tanning beds."
Artificially tanning is common among teenagers, especially girls. In a national survey, 24 percent of non-Hispanic white teenagers 13 to 19 years old used a tanning facility at least once. Another national survey found that 10 percent of youths ages 11 to 18 reported using indoor tanning sunlamps in the previous year, the report states.
And the incidence of both nonmelanoma and melanoma skin cancer is on the rise. Melanoma incidence has been on the uptick for at least 30 years. Researchers have noted a 3 percent increase annually since 1992 in women ages 15 to 39, the academy of pediatricians reports. -
I read or heard about this girl years ago who was a serial tanner to the point that she did develop cancer. After that she was unable to ever expose her skin to the sun be it summer or winter. She would have to walk outside completely wrapped from head to toe, the damage was that severe.

Funny how when something negatively affects white folks, they band together to get legislation passed to ban or control it.
We can't say the same thing about Trap Rap, rappers endorsing liquor, or pushing other ills on black society.
I remember Chuck D suing St Ides for using a sample of his voice in one of their ads... Now Flava Flav gettin money for primetime coonin... -

You are exactly right...they mock us for things and then turn around and try to imitate those things. -

That's the name of their game. They don't oppress us and keep us dumb deaf and blind for no reason. They know once we wake up and separate from them and start our own ? , it's a wrap for them.... forever. They're using us to keep themselves in their ? complex image. They can't do it without us. This is why they need to force mind ? it into our brains how pure godly angelic and righteous they are on TV and in Movies. They need to trick us into idolizing them, meanwhile we can create entire cultures, genres, and styles without even trying and the world falls in love with it every time. The ? in us shines, the devil hates us for it. Because they can't be us.
Sorry, caucasian, but the world just doesn't find any appeal in ? animals. lol -

You are 100% correct on everything.
I always make it a point to tear them down in the eyes of the people who may worship them.
They are only 10% of the worlds population with a zero birth rate and dwindling...its just a matter of time.
