I see a lot of people were offended by my comment. But what I was trying to do is NOT deny racism/history. And, maybe I'm wrong, but isn't it possible that some people actually feel they look better after they lighten their skin? And some look better after they darken it? Some with straight, some with curly hair. Is…

But we are assigning motivations to people that we have no way of knowing, and instead of listening, we are attacking. I am being attacked just for asking the question. I am not ignorant. Must history always be your backstory? Must it dictate how we act, even if it perpetuates barriers amongst the new generations? Is…

Yes, as you can see, my comment was widely ignored. Specially by you.

I get that. But this is a black woman. Not the brightest one. Its sad that this product is selling, its sad that it was produced. Isn't it a form of racism that black people are judged for altering their looks, because it is assumed that they do it because they want to appear "whiter"(as in, more like white people),…

But she was not used as a disgrace to her race. Just as a crazy white lady who tanned too much. The tanning salon didn't get criticized.

Just for the sake of discussion: how is this any different than white people who get bronzed, dyed, permed and augmented? Why do white people get to explore any and all looks, but black people are disgraceful if they do it too? Don't all ethnicities strive for a more homogenous look, not necessarily white?

Me too.

Ok I have a worse one. Once in Labour and Delivery, I was coming in to check on the patients and one of the ladies was having very strong contractions from the beginning of her labour. So she was lying in her robe, no underwear, and I guess she was checking that the baby wasn't out yet because she was touching her…

Wow.. I didn't know the backstory. And now that I think about it.. isn't that like THE stereotypical way a cheating husband portray his wife? Like, crazy, doesn't really love me, doesn't take care of the house/kids, dresses like a slob, whorish etc.... whoa

Once I was working in the emergency room. A 20-something girl came in that had been in a car accident, apparently while intoxicated. She was unconcious and not breathing properly, so my colleague was attempting to intubate. I was about, 15 meters away preparing all the paperwork, when a huge stream of clotted, fetid…

I respect those opinions in the sense that I don't give a fuck about them. I respect them in the sense that I know you are absolutely wrong and stupid, yet I won't waste my time on someone willing themselves to believe something against all logic and sense.

That's insane. These people are taking these horrible tragedies and sharing them, trying to make something out of terrible circumstances. And that's bad?? Isn't it the ultimate triumph of humanity to take smething so bad and use it to improve others lives? I don't get him. It seems like very hypocritical indignation.

I am you. I'm so lame that I embarrass myself regularly, even with non-famous people... Then I remember all these moments when I am trying to sleep.

Derelicte!

Maybe they just wanted to focus on her beautiful face. She DOES look beautiful in that picture.

How many people died because of this bedroom? That's the real question.

Uhm.. We love Macklemore. Get your shit together.

Mmmmmm... I think he's poking fun at the stereotype of black people having weird names ( like Beyonce, Kelendria, Tenitra or Anferny).

Who's offended about what?
