I couldn't believe my eyes. An entire fourm (like Blacknet) dedicated to skin bleaching called "Bright Skin Forum".

Am I out of line to call the whole membership of such a forum (unless there to ridicule) pathetic to say the best? Hmmm...I wonder if I have found some hideout spot for some of the Blacknet ladies.

Are you saying men don't bleach?
And why are you promoting the site?

You could have done that without the link. If you simply wanted to discuss you could have added your comments onto the thread that is already discussing skin bleaching.

Come on now. No stone throwing. We have to admit this happens in different portions of our community. I have met "Black" men who were ashamed of their skin color, but I have never known one to bleach, at least not yet.
But we can't cover stuff like this up. We have to see just how deeply self-hatred has affected us all.
BTW, it manifests itself in a lot of different ways. Skin bleaching is only onesuch way.

We know it exists. There is already a topic on it (I'm about to join the two), no need to tell me about admitting. Myissue is the link to a website that promotes it-was it necessary. We already have a thread that's about four pages deep and I don't recall a link to any site and yet the discussion is there.

But why accuse the gentlemen of promoting the procedure? He was just trying to point it out. I have heard that self-hatred had driven some folks to do this, but I have never seen a forum dedicated to it.

Promoting it, inadvertently promoting it-same difference. Are we saying that he was unaware that people would click on it, thus bringing more attention/hits to the site? This is the internet, you could probably find many forums for many interests and/or perversions, sick or otherwise
It was interesting to go in and take a look.
Maybe for you, but I see it as useful as visiting white racist forums-as if we don't already know, or can't imagine the mindset of these people.
Anyway in continuing on about the site I am (probably) contradicting myself, so I will stop here.
