    I was stunned when I saw this picture. Unlike Jacko, who had a skin condition, this famous wealthy successful man purposely had his skin lightened.
    Is he just insecure about his looks or has discrimination helped him make this decision?

    ....Many have been shocked to see recent photos of retired major league baseball player Sammy Sosa. Not only is he wearing green contact lenses, but his skin tone is considerably lighter than usual, something which he claims is the result of a skin "rejuvenation" process...

    I wouldn't say it looks rejuvenating exactly...

    The best way to lighten your skin is to stay out of the sun. Works for me. My arm and stomach are two totally different shades.

    Skin condition, my ass!
    His skin condition was that it wasn't fair enough for him.

    No, he said he used a skin rejuvenation cream, but refused to say what it was.

    Most skin rejuvenation creams have bleaching agents to reduce the intensity of pigmentation even for white folks. The effect is even tone and hence better looks. For a darker person, it becomes a little obvious. It is not a problem for women but could be for males.

    As much as people of color decry racism it's perplexing that they themselves have an affinity for those with lighter skin. In the Hispanic and Black cultures those with lighter skin tend to hold most positions of power and political influence. For an extreme example look at the Nation of Islam. All of it's leaders past and present look half white and have straight hair. They look nothing like the oppressed "brotha's" their allegedly representing. Also, GOOGLE the current leader of the NAACP. Another high yellow dude that has more European features than African features.

    No one is happy with what they've got. Dark people want to be light, light people want to be dark. People with curly hair straighten it and people with straight hair curl it. Brunettes go blond and blond goes brunette. And all because we think it looks better than what we were born with. The grass is always greener I guess...:shrug:
