Would you change your white skin for a black one?

Everyone complains about Al Sharpton this, and Jesse Jackson that, and whether Blacks play the race card to their advantage. But before you get too critical, ask yourself if you would trade places, and accept a dark skin for the rest of your life. And then ask yourself why.

    • Apply gram pulse flour in the morning. It will make even rough skin soft and the color becomes fair. • Make a mixture of 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice and glycerin and apply it on the darkspots to get rid of them • Skin peels help in renewal of your skin and take away the tan giving you a smoother, fresher and lighter skin. These systems are based on naturally occurring fruit fatty acids which gently exfoliate your sun-damaged skin and stimulate regeneration. However, it is important to choose the right peel system Also, it’s a good idea to know your skin. Hey I have heard that Kaya Skin clinic is giving some cool treatments

    Sure -- as long as it would get me all the money those women basketball players are going to get or insulate me from criticism no matter what racist or untrue things I say (like Jessie "Hymietown" Jackson or Al "Tawana Brawley" Sharpton).

    If being black means I get a fat bank account and a bully pulpit, bring it on!

    Never! For one, I couldn't make jokes about my skin tone being 'interior white' and having natural indoor office building camouflage. For two, umm...

    Well, never mind 'two'. I guess 'one' is my only reason.

    Seriously though, I only really care that I HAVE skin. Beyond that, who cares?

    No, I would not trade skin colors, and that would be true if I was black. If i was black I would not look for a handout or an excuse to justify being a lazy piece of ****, I would go out and make something of myself.

    Lord knows an educated minority has it MADE in this country, ever hear of a little thing called affirmative action?

    EXCELLENT point. White people do not have to worry about institutionalized racism, the way that black people do.
