    Blame society for making them believe that their dark skin isn’t acceptable.

    It's a shame

    Though I love when the sun turns me black black

    Shining like pure carbon

    if skin bleaching stems from white washing, what does skin darkening stem from? (spray tanning, etc)

    Everyone under the sun has the ability to tan. That said..

    Sport tanning, can still be viewed as whitewashing but for a different plant. Whitewashing has little to do with race. When an individual is over hydrated or whitewashed it leads to confusion, anger and headaches.

    Confusion = false education.
    Headaches = absenteeism from school n work. This leads to depression & anxiety.

    Anger. Anger creates hypertension. Black Americans suffer the most from hypertension in the world. That’s a direct reflection of whitewashing.

    The only Caucasian Europeans I see that suffer from whitewashing are Trump Supporters & My Italian brothas n sisters. That’s in the form of anger. Lol.

    Then there’s Black Face which ofc is directly linked to anger, hatred and confusion. That’s more of what you’re looking for. One has to go to great lengths to darken their skin.

    I'm genuinely curious - I don't agree with bleaching skin either, but why do we look down upon that, and not necessarily other body modifications? Such as body altering surgeries, tattoos etc

    Genuinely curious

    People do this too…

    That starts at home though. If your parents are white washed or so integrated into Western Ideologies, then they gotta seek The Most High. It’s the only way

    does this mean Keita Balde is culturally appropriating white communities?

    It doesn’t really, because people are attracted to different things in other people such as height, weight, hair, eye color, personality etc.

    You can look at different civilizations (past or present) and see how their standards of beauty differ from ours or our ancestors.

    If we’re being real, Societal beauty standards are really just opinions from the media onto the general public.

    i think it's both

    individual preferences exist, but so do general universal beauty standards, like youth, symmetry, clear skin, etc
