Stop Hating Your Body: The Right Look: Lightening Dark Skin For Beauty, Money and Cancer →
Until today I’d assumed “whitewashing” (the practice of bleaching one’s skin to alter its color to a lighter and thus more appealing tone) had all but died in most parts of the modern world.
Holy fuck was I wrong.
This year, British Vogue’s November 2011 cover features…
This is something I’ve been ranting and raving about for a while. There has been a huge boost in the “White is Right” mentality, around the world. The problem is, if you have black female superstars on magazine covers and advertisements looking abnormally white, it rubs off on the girls who look to them as role-models. I remember, Beyonce had an ad running in the past year and a half or so for her new album and I used to see the poster for it a lot on the subway: her weave/wig was bleach fucking blond, with even lighter bleached highlights, and her skin color was less dark than even a decent amount of white women. I thought it was a Ke$ha ad.
Beyonce is a figure for WoC everywhere, and she’s doing stuff like this. Why should a woman who can’t even embrace her cultural and racial identity be one of the most famous women in the world? Her music is supposedly “empowering” (I don’t listen to her at all, so I wouldn’t know), but her personality is the least empowering thing ever; “Maybe if they bleach my hair and lighten my skin, more people will accept me.” That’s pathetic and disgusting, and even if it’s not necessarily what she thinks she meant when she did these things, it is what she meant.
I know a lot of people don’t like hearing a breakdown of the “White is Right” mentality from a white chick but, it affects me too. It affects me because my good friends are the ones looking at women like her for guidance. There are women who are more deserving, who would teach them that every woman is beautiful as long as she’s embracing herself and not what others say she should be.
I’ve had it with these disgusting, racist, subliminal ads. I really fucking have.
I don’t know, I guess I’m here to say, “White is NOT Right.” No race is right or wrong, it’s just melanin in our skin tissue and some basic biological differences that helped our ancestors live in whatever region they lived in. Every race and every culture has something beautiful and natural to offer to this world, but we’re too busy trying to make money off of looking white to see it.

I have one post on YouTube where I accidentally used the wrong “their”
It was two fucking weeks ago and I’m still getting obnoxious trolls bugging me about it. Nevermind that the rest of the post was perfectly written and I was making an extremely valid point.
Internet grammar nazis need to get something better to do with their lives. Because seriously, I’m a writer, and I’ve edited as well; I speak and write with almost perfect grammar, spelling (seriously, you can tell I’m spelling words correctly when I say them, I shit you not), and inflection. I don’t give a FUCK if some moron on the internet wants to try and come at me for a simple fucking typo that everyone who’s ever written anything in English has made.
The problem is, the entire post was about not being so obnoxious about so-called American Ignorance. It’s fucking ignorant as hell to say that all Americans are stupid and unaware of what’s going on. And I resent it, a lot. I am a lot less ignorant than a lot of people from a lot of places, including the British people who felt the need to attack me for my “poor grammar”.
In the meantime, these are the people who believe that gypsies shouldn’t be allowed land and should be treated like second-class citizens, people who call any foreigner ignorant, it’s disgusting and pathetic. It’s close-mindedness like that that tends to escalate into full-on government-sanctioned hate-crimes (which, as an American, I know Romany Gypsies face in all places they are found). That’s not to say I’m accusing these people of hate-crimes, just that ignorance like theirs is a breeding ground for them.
Honestly, I could probably rant about this for hours, just because I was so fucking angry that people could be so fucking ignorant and pointless. Even if they were just trolling, it was still a stupid move, that’s not how you troll. That’s just being a dick. There’s a reason they’re called grammar nazis.
By the way, anyone wanna count how many times I’ve used the various forms of “there” properly in this post?
But seriously, it’s just two letters out of, like, three hundred that I typed. It was late at fucking night, and I was definitely not sober. It was a post on YouTube. They’re lucky I decided to capitalize and punctuate. All I really wanted to say in response to them was “Suck. My. Dick.”

I love these shoes too. They aren’t made very well, but they look super cool. :) I actually wore these same shoes for my wedding because I’m hardcore like that.
Love.
I had those same shoes - but they fell apart. Ugh.
BUT this is such a gorgeous outfit and I love it.
I had the shoes too, the fell apart after two wears…I still have them and I wear them when I’m not walking all over the city.

You are not the one percent.
The problem with things like this is that they make you feel terrible for being born where, when, and how you were. The fact of it is that those who are fortunate enough to have these things were mostly born that fortunate, and that doesn’t necessarily mean that you can’t have a difficult first world existence. Just keep this in mind and do what you can.
You know, I do have a little bit of money in my account, and some change hanging around, but I don’t feel guilty about it. I give back to the world and to those who aren’t as lucky as I am whenever I can. My family is extremely poor, by a lot of standards, we have what we have because we absolutely need it. My mom works from home, so we need internet. I saved up for the laptop I’m typing this on. Yes, it’s a MacBook Pro, but I earned it and no one will make me feel differently.
I just feel like posters like this are just meant to make rich people feel insanely guilty so they “have to” give back to their community and the world. Of course, when I walk down fifth avenue, I speak at the top of my lungs about how disgusting I find it that these stores sell things for thousands of dollars and people actually buy it. And of course I fucking wish I could make them use their money “properly” (which, to me, means using it to fund various philanthropic ventures).
Why do you need a thousand dollar purse when there are people who could be using that for food, medicine, education, shelter, refuge? Well, you know, it’s in fashion.

Today’s going to be fucking busy
So of course I woke up at four in the morning.
You know, so I can fall asleep while filling out my mom’s discharge papers. Maybe I’ll accidentally say I’m dead, again.
