When Nina Davuluri was crowned Miss America, becoming the first Indian Miss America, not everyone was celebrating her barrier-breaking win. In India, where Davuluri's family emigrated from, her complexion was being dissected. "The morning after I won Miss America and I woke up to an Indian headline that said: 'Is Miss America too dark to be Miss India?'" Davuluri told CBS News foreign correspondent Imtiaz Tyab. (Snip) The beauty industry is experiencing a racial reckoning following Black Lives Matter protests. Cosmetics giants are being accused of hypocrisy for claiming to stand against racism, while at the same time promoting whiteness.

Are "sun tan in a bottle" products racist too? Hmmm?

These companies should replace those products with skin darkening creams (shoe polish?) and how well those sell.

Give it up. These have been used for ages for age spots. You’re not the only game in town…
Did they ban Michael Jackson?

In the future, the melanin-deficient will be required to use skin darkening cream so we'll look like Prime Minister Justin Trudeau or Gov. Ralph "Coonman" Northam in bLACKface.

If the woke now ban these products, should we not also ban sun tan lotion and tanning salons?

Reminds me of people who have unwanted same sex attraction being told they can’t have therapy to help with it.
Leave people alone and let them live their lives.

So, would Michael Jackson have taken a stand for Black Lives Matter?

If you look at pictures of most black actors when they were young, they were much darker. Beyonce is whiter than most white people now. They bleach their skin. It's never more evident than when watching foreign TV or movies. Their black characters are black, no whitening cream used on them. Honestly, I don't have a problem with that.

I have had quite a few Indian students. I had never heard of these products until they told me about them. They are popular - very, very popular.
On the other hand, I remember tan in bottle products and then there's spray tan. Seemingly no one is happy about the shade of their skin.

There's obviously a market for it whether they like it or not.

It works like this here in America:
If there is a market for it someone will produce it. If there's no market for it it won't be made.

These cosmetic companies are also promoting thinness, which the black ladies are successfully ignoring.

Whats hilarious about this is that dark skinned people are lightening their skin while white people are baking on the beach or under sun lamps to darken their skin.
Guilty.......

Hey idiots, don't buy it if you don't like it or want to use it, but don't tell the rest of us what we can and can't use. F'n dictatorial anarchists.

How about all those Black women, especially the more prominent political ones including those in Congress who are so assiduous in cosmetically straighteneing their hair ow who wear wigs in specifically White European style to cover their Afros?

LOL! Not a product I use, but it seems like people should be able to buy what they want.
Look at Michael Jackson.....at the end he was a white woman.

These products are actually quite popular. But Leftist activists are not shy about showing their totalitarian impulses. The moment they don't like something, it's labeled as racist and Must be outlawed immediately.
