One thing that I find disturbing is the amount of people that use skin bleaching products to look whiter. The amount of times I have seen a black woman with a white-looking face but upon closer inspection, you notice the feet are jet black, as are the hands, which are very difficult to bleach. They look ridiculous, especially when their wigs made out of Indian and Brazilian hair blow off in the wind, revealing good old African curly hair. Why hate yourself? Why risk your health bleaching your skin with chemicals that can give you cancer because you are told “white is right” and “black is ugly”?
It’s not only in Africa one sees this problem. It’s a big industry in India where white-looking skin is regarded as beautiful while people who look like, wait for it, Vivek Ramaswamy or Suella Braverman, two wannabe white Asians with brown skin, are looked down upon. Most of the actors in Bollywood bleach their skin to look lighter in complexion, all part and parcel of British brainwashing from Empire days. Meanwhile, the same people who spread the lie that white skin is superior and more beautiful than black skin pay thousands to lie under some sun tanning contraption, or on a beach in the Mediterranean, taking in the sun rays to get brown—the same brown they say is ugly on Africans and Indians—they want it to look, guess what, beautiful.
When the Alien Mothership returns to Earth one day and descends in New York, London, Mumbai, and Cape Town and sees that these humans they created have completely lost the plot, they will take off back to where they came from saying, “Those beautiful black people we made in South Sudan—the original man, black and beautiful—are vilified while the mutants are praised. Tell me, Kryngon, how are we going to report this to the Boss Man? I am confused!”
