Skin Bleaching ! Where Are We Going ?
The Caribbean Is One Nation.
I sometimes wonder if this is the same country, Jamaica that was the land of
birth of that stalwart, Marcus M. Garvey the father of Pan-Africanism!
I was almost reduced to tears when I viewed the skin "Bleaching"
video! Seeing my poor uninformed/unfortunate brothers and sisters behaving in
an outlandish and dangerous manner, displaying self-hate and a lack of love for
self and kind!
Skin bleaching! Where

Where did this self-loathing/self-hate come from? Just think! Yes you got it!
Four hundred years plus, of brain washing and constant reinforcement through
the media and other institutionalized methods of persuasion and entreaty! That
has been responsible for many of us doing things that are not to the benefit of
us and kind!
I am issuing words of warning and caution, to those of us brothers and sisters,
who are more self-aware, to be very careful in our
criticism/mocking/ridiculing/humoring of the “Bleachers”. Always remember we
are often judged by the behavior of the least of those in our society! What we
need to do is, take strong action, by educating and informing the poor
unfortunate ones who practice this dangerous act of folly, of the poisonous and
carcinogenic substances in this cream, and their evil properties.
A very dear friend of mine constantly uses this phrase: “Never look down on
someone, unless you are extending your hand to help them up”!
Well said and practiced!
Walk good.....
Even-though this article mentioned Jamaica by name, the article is directed to
the entire Caribbean !
