Cheese and bread....

feel sorry for the mother she clearly has been messed up from the beginning

That woman she is damaging her poor kids and it should not be allowed to continue. Those boys are going to grow up with real issues.
Those women on the stage have issues and would do well to go and seek some counselling or spiritual guidance.

This show is like the Jerry Springer show or the Jeremy Kyle show they take the extremes out there and put them on the stage but the majority of people won't go to those extremes and many of us do love our skin colour.

Do some of you think that this is not such an issue in the UK among Black Brits? Colorism may exist in the UK but i don’t know of any Black Brits who bleach their skin. When i say Black Brits i am referring to black people that were born (or at least came to the UK at a very young age i.e young kids) and raised in the UK.

It is sad when i was in Nigeria i said to this little girl that she was a beautiful black girl as she was being funny about some stuff and she told me that G_d forbid that she was a yellow girl. To some families this whole issue is important.

The media does present lighter skinned black women as more of a beauty ideal than darker skinned black women. There are some darker skinned black women out there though. You need to be secure in yourself though and if you are not you will run into problems.

This is not even about light skin v dark skin but it is about getting people to appreciate whatever shade they are.

They should have their children taken away. That is child abuse.

I think I truly benefited from spending my earlier years in LA, the heart of (to me anyways) I am black and I am proud movements. I have one friend who believe skin colour determines what colour clothes people can wear. I just do not get it. Bleaching is a crime and like what Tyra said in that clip a problem created by the society we live in

Happy that one girl stopped after choosing to live by her own standards and not that of other folk

Also glad Tyra highlighted the fact that it is more rife in Asia and other countries and not just a problem in the black community

Took the words right from my mouth bro, pathetic as well as very sad, except the Tara bit of course- cos you know shes looking fit in that video......

The woman who bleaches her kids was bleached by her mother, so she has real deep issues which would need proffessional counseling to change.....quite sad.

I watched it. It was disgusting. And just passing that shit onto their children.

I know. Dark people or even light people who are insulted like that need to ignore it and stop listening to what people say about them.

Well Tyra and the mother of one of those ladies did say it was quite shocking and this is 2008

I wonder what the Asian guy feels about this woman doing this to him for the sake of her child's looks and not out of love. I find it odd since the majority of Asian men are simply not interested in black women anyway.

i thought i watching a comedy cartoon sketch with people acting out a scene from the 1930's. but then i saw Tyra's face that's when i put i foot into the screen. i don't understand why black women in this age (2008) feel inferior to white women. doesn't make logical sense in a age of mass information.
