I'm glad someone was beginning to notice the change in skin tone other than me. According to a recent news article in Yahoo! Vaseline is advertising a new skin whitening creme, targeted towards Indian men. Now this is nothing new, we all know about Michael Jackson and Sammy Sousa. We have all seen retouched pictures of celebrities...
It is just a little alarming to me that there are people actually profitting off of this. It's actually sad. What would one do if their little son or daughter came home begging for whitening cream to "look like someone else"? Is this a new trend a long with LADY GAGA cartoon eyes? One may laugh, but it seems just as ridiculous. Does this process reduce what is "naturally" there? Does it actually remove melanin from one's skin? Who know's... Obama could have been 4 shades darker until now and then decided to "drink the koolaid"..
Not to say that Obama isn't "black enough" per se. But would you say he is "white enough"? These issues surrounding vanity, race, skin color, and more are what seem to make the world go around. No matter how many Dr. Phil marathons, or "feel good episodes" of Friends, and/or new "tv" therapy-reality shows, we all seem to continuously hate ourselves in the end? Does that mean self-hate is inevitable?
Martinis down for skin whitening creams. That stuff CANNOT be SAFE!

WOW!! I haven't seen the Vaseline skin cream but that's crazy. For years people have always wanted to be lighter and society is making it so much easier. And let me not forget cheaper.
