Black is beautiful. I’m brown skin but I wish I was a little darker. When your a bodybuilder it looks better, the darker your skin, it makes your muscles stand out more. I’m like the only black guy tanning in my area LOL.

well he needs to get a refund for that “rejuvenation”…

I just read what freakyghettogrl..I agree on some things SOME things. But i cant stand it when black women believe that black men want “light” skinned women. STOP BEING A SLAVE TO THE MEDIA!!!! We’ve all heard comments against our skin tone from our own race. OMG when I use to do modeling I’ve heard so many people tell me that they wanted a female of darker complexion and other girls heard viceversa so all that is b.s. Shyt our people are content with being a part of the genocide in our own communities, our people are killing each other, and running out on their families–and THOSE that do it are all shades of brown and “tan”.

Anywhozy back to the topic, I find it funny how people are disgusted with Sammy but when they posted something about Lil Kim and how shes been trying to look “lighter” people posted, “oh her MAKE-UP is bogus” “her HAIR looks bad”…paying attention to everything irrelevant….

If a person is “ashamed” of being of african descent, then let them. I want strong people in my peoples communities…

Wow, that’s some skin cream… Did it also lighten his eyes and straighten his hair? It’s funny how someone can have the nerve to try to erase their race, but not the nerve to admit it. Self loathing is really a pitiful condition, no matter the race of the person.

One thing that some of us can agree is yes he is Dominicano. However, it is deeper than that.If you know the history of that side of the island, Tyrant dictatorial president Trujillo(Spanish=European) outlawed anything that has to do with Afrikan culture and Taino culture. People were put to death for observing Voodoo, Candomble, and other west Afrikan spirituality.In addition, afrikan dance, oral history, etc. were all banned in the Republika de Dominicana. He even went far by offering Europeans, Chinese, and Japanese to migrate to the country to intermarry in exchange for property. He wanted to whiten the whole country, and changed the history into more Eurocentric. Hence, Dominicanos doesnt think they are Negro until they move to the US of A.

99karma99 asked a good question – what’s up with the contacts and the perm in his hair? I don’t really give a crap if he wants to be white or not, but why lie about it?

I can’t believe Sammy Sosa actually entertained this bullshyt. If he wants lighter skin that’s his business.

@Lakerdude…When Rick says “our people” he is not talking just about those who reside in the US, but there are Black people all over the world, that should be considered “our people”

You have to admit, it’s self-hating…but he’s wise, for sure! And he’s definitely *seizing the moment* according to the society he lives in as it gives preference to those who come closest, to looking like Caucasoids.
