Tyra: Is it the lighting or is she lightening?
Hey guys. I know I've been away for awhile buT I'm back.
Anyway, I'm sure almost every has seen the Tyra Banks episode about skin lightening and all that jazz. Tyra dedicated this whole episode to four black women who admitted to skin bleaching/lightening and warned everyone of the side effects mentally and health-wise of skin bleaching.
Fast Forward...
At the time I thought it was admirable that she talked so honestly about an issue that seemed so taboo in the black community. My mother said: "That damn girl bleaches her damn self. She needs to be on the panel with those girls." At the time, I thought it was ridiculous... until I saw some pictures recently that made me question it. Even when I saw the pictures I thought it was the lighting. But after seeing these pictures, I'm pretty sure she's a bleacher.
Now I obviously have no problem with lightening. Neither am I trying to take anything away from her, because we all know she is drop dead gorgeous. But I do have a problem with being hypocritical. How dare she host a whole show on skin lightening and urging other people not to lighten, when it appears that she does it herself?
