Then those who convince themselves as such would pristinely include you. If as you say, that women's skin bleaching is driven by "peer pressure" to please other women, then you have tacitly concluded that it is a different experience from the "dark skin" African women who do it to enhance their sexual appeal to men, and entertainment and marketing industry largely controlled by their men counterparts but which usually use female "models" or "actresses" to promote certain products.
You think too small. Expand your mind and don't be limited by thinking small.
The desire to impress others is a symptom where you stop your thinking.
Symptoms are created by a catalyst. This is what this thread is about.

Spoken like a moron rendered speechless or unresponsive, other than being reduced to childish ad hominem banter.

Is that why you answer my substantive reply to you, like the little girly-boy dressed up to wear your mama's tampons? Where is the substance in your reply, other than childish tantrum?

^ The evidence that the subject matter causes you weaklings who blindly contribute and empower is obvious.
That you have no understanding of the cause and effect of symptomatic psychological affects is even more pronounced.
You have nothing to contribute, yet you hang around the thread blankly staring like Hip-hop transvestites in a YMCA locker room.

Because whites haven't written theories on this affliction, you have nothing to memorize.
What a shame you weaklings take such false pride in your own mis-educated status.
Fear not young know nothing. Whites will lead you by your chain, as usual.

That's right. He is a Jew boy isn't he.
No wonder he is at a lost for contributing to this non-white subject matter, and why I sense no soul in his limp responses.
LOL, the Jew should be concerned about these serious Jewish genetic defect issues.
Perhaps Horus will mate with her and they'll both get what they deserve and want;

Ashkenazi Jewish Genetic Diseases
Victor Center for Jewish Genetic Diseases, Philadelphia, PA


Tay-Sachs Disease is a condition where children develop normally until about four to six months of age.It is at this time that the central nervous system begins to degenerate.Individuals with Tay-Sachs Disease lack an enzyme called hexosaminidase (Hex A).The child loses all motor skills and becomes blind, deaf and unresponsive.Death usually occurs by the age of four.The carrier rate in the Ashkenazi Jewish population is approximately 1 in 25.More rare than the infantile type is Late Onset Tay-Sachs Disease, where the progression of symptoms is slower and milder.

Canavan Disease is very similar to Tay-Sachs Disease, with normal development until age two to four months, followed by progressive loss of previously attained skills.Most individuals with Canavan Disease die by the age of five.An estimated 1 in 40 Ashkenazi Jews is a carrier for this disease.

Niemann-Pick Disease – Type A is a disease in which a harmful amount of a fatty substance accumulates in different parts of the body.Failure to thrive and a progressive neurodegenerative course lead to death by three years of age.The carrier rate in the Ashkenazi Jewish population is approximately 1 in 90.

Gaucher Disease – Type 1 (pronounced go-shay) is a variable condition, both in age of onset and in progression of symptoms.A painful, enlarged and overactive spleen, with anemia and low white blood cell count are usually the initial features of Gaucher Disease.Bone deterioration is a major cause of discomfort and disability.Approximately 1 in 14 Ashkenazi Jews is a carrier of this condition.Treatment is available.

Familial Dysautonomia (FD) is a disease that causes the autonomic and sensory nervous systems to malfunction.This affects the regulation of body temperature, blood pressure, stress response, normal swallowing and digestion.An estimated 1 in 30 Ashkenazi Jews is a carrier of FD.

Bloom Syndrome is characterized by short stature, sun-sensitive facial skin lesions, an increased susceptibility to infections and a higher incidence of leukemia and certain cancers.The carrier rate is about 1 in 100 in the Ashkenazi Jewish population.

Fanconi anemia – Type C is a disease associated with short stature, bone marrow failure and a predisposition to leukemia and other cancers.Some children may have learning difficulties or mental retardation.Approximately 1 in 89 Ashkenazi Jews is a carrier for this condition.

Mucolipidosis IV (ML IV) is caused by the accumulation of certain harmful substances throughout the body.Individuals with ML IV experience a range of levels of motor and mental retardation, with developmental delays often manifesting themselves as early as the first year of life.Other symptoms can be related to the eyes, such as corneal clouding, pseudostrabismus and retinal degeneration.

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a multi-system disorder that causes the body to produce a thick mucus.The mucus accumulates primarily in the lungs and the digestive tract, resulting in chronic lung infections and poor growth.CF does not affect intelligence.The carrier rate for CF among all Caucasian individuals is approximately 1 in 25.The CF carrier test has a detection rate of 97% in the Ashkenazi Jewish population.

Why do these little Jews become so compelled to interject themselves into discussions of black issues? It's a manic compulsion.

It's quite obvious they have very little comprehension and nothing noteworthy to contribute, yet here they are time and time again, all up in black business.

Argyle and Explorer, stay in the DNA recital threads where you maggots belong.

^ Coming from a Jew, your opinion of who is black and who is not is less than worthless.
Try that weak crap on Horus. He's weak enough to fall for it.
Be more concerned about all those fucked up DNA strands running through your albino body.

If it quacks and walks like a duck, then it must be a duck. You sir, a true white man's sap. You might as well call yourself the white man's personal preprogrammed pocket robot. You are the last thing that comes to invoking a 'black man'. But I got give you -- a non-African bastard -- your props; you make a heck of a good ass out of yourself in just about any discussion on this board. [Smile]

I do see menin's point as do you though. That societal standards are, well, passed on socially and by anyone and women do compete.

I don't profess to know the psych of Black American women, but in Africa, as the article -- that meninarmer himself posted as the intro -- correctly notes, those women who bleach their skins, primarily do so, because they think it increases their sexual appeal to the opposite sex. These individuals are not the norm of the society, there are a great many other people who do not bleach their skins. No doubt, there is observation amongst sections of some cosmopolitan areas of Africa, bombarded with "western" marketed or influenced skin & hair products and entertainment concerns, wherein some perceive that there is a trend in African men going for lighter-toned females than the darker ones or favoritism towards lighter-toned females in the very industries [marketing industries/concerns for cosmetics and clothing, not to mention the entertainment industry itself] that promote aforementioned products, and so, some turn to unhealthy means to supposedly rectify this, by seeking artificial skin lightning and hair straightening products. Considerably light-toned people are not the norm in predominantly dark skin African societies, and so, it makes no sense, to perceive this as "peer pressure" competition amongst women of said societies; if anything, they'd be frowned upon, because they are a minority...likely, dismissed as outcasts of 'white-person' wannabes, if it were simply a matter of women doing it for other women, as opposed to the few who do it, as a means to augment their sexual appeal or worth to the opposite sex or industry (usually there as "western manufactured" product outlets) that are largely controlled by the opposite sex.
This is exactly what the situation is.

Many women eventually regret bleaching their skin as many a Nigerian men who "delight" in women with bleached skin will NOT marry one. In fact, in Nigeria it has become very easy to identify women in the post-bleaching phase where they have a strange reddish skin-tone that is neither the original nor the "light" skin they had while actively bleaching.

The Sambo Mentality and the Stockholm Syndrome

Stockholm Syndrome involves a bi-directional bond of emotional reliance. The criminals, requiring captives for their survival or purposes of extortion, impress themselves psychologically and / or physically upon their captives who, perceiving their own situation as inescapable (whether it be so or not), soon look to their abusers for protection and assistance. “It is this dynamic which causes former hostages and abuse survivors to minimize the damage done to them and refuse to cooperate in prosecuting their tormentors. ” Contributing factors to the syndrome are generally understood to evolve within the following scenarios:

• The presence of a perceived threat to one's physical or psychological survival and the belief that the abuser will carry out the threat.
• The presence of a perceived small kindness from the abuser to the victim.
• Isolation from perspectives other than those of the abuser.
• The perceived inability to escape the situation.

Obviously there is a great deal of relief when the victim realizes that he or she has avoided death, at least for the moment. From relief there evolves a feeling of gratitude and, from gratitude, a feeling of being behoven. During long-term captivity, victims identify at an ever-deeper level with their captors as they come to know them more personally and, in the most severe cases, as with Patty Hearst, the victim fully assimilates the captor’s way of thinking.
It is such a condition that ought to be recognised as played out in Olaudah Equiano’s eighteenth-century slave narrative. Supposedly captured from modern-day Nigeria, where he would otherwise have remained an Igbo chieftain’s son, scholarship dealing with this figure must inevitably address Vincent Carretta’s research, which debates whether Equiano was “an identity revealed...or an identity assumed by Gustavus Vassa in 1789 for rhetorical (and financial) ends”3, the issue revolving around whether Equiano pieced together his early life in Africa from oral history and ethnography in order to authenticate his status as an original African unjustly transported to the New World or whether he truly did have such an early life over there.

This paper contests that, either way, his narrative was colored by Stockholm Syndrome, which, I would argue, is an element just as extra-personal as a Carolinian claiming African nobility inasmuch as both additions can be observed as originating in other people’s characters, real or imagined. Whether or not Equiano came from Africa is not what I intend to examine here. Equiano certainly did know a captain Pascal and formed with him the bonds which led to Stockholm Syndrome – it matters not whether his status as a slave resulted from an African abduction or an upbringing solely in the New World. His life upon boarding the Industrious Bee had been traumatic enough to leave him psychologically vulnerable, the legacy of which can be seen in the entire Narrative as Tanya Caldwell points out in noting that;

From the beginning of his Narrative Equiano shows both directly, even painstakingly, and indirectly, yet unmistakably, the native European features and contours of his mind, and takes every opportunity to repudiate any fundamental difference between himself and the culture in which he developed as a self-conscious social being.

Along similar lines, Susan Marren notes that “every gesture that Equiano makes to establish himself as a “white” man diminishes his claim to an African identity and risks leaving the impression not that he is representative of the slaves but that he is exceptional.” This danger takes place at the textual level but, in terms of Equiano’s actual experiences, it is clear that the intensely proximate figure of Pascal was a danger which registered at the mental and cultural level - to such an extent that the acquisition of a European identity would have seemed necessary for survival. In this way, we see that his urge to be seen as white and / or European evolves as much from real-life crisis as from textual confidence.

This is indeed the formative moment of Equiano’s life, when his existence is felt to hang in the balance and yet, beginning to comprehend English, he gradually becomes aware of his Master’s wishes and intentions, and can begin to mould himself accordingly.
Although Pascal threatens to kill him, it is an obvious but extremely important point that he does not do so. Equiano has already seen the slavers carry out their threats, even going as far as to flog one of their own men to death. Having witnessed such barbarity, the smallest concession, even the mere privilege of being permitted to live, must have seemed magnanimous and tempted him to gratitude. This prompts him to establish an emotional dependency upon his Master, soon made clear in his distress at prospective separation: “I cried immediately, and said I would not leave him.”At this point we see that Stockholm Syndrome has fully taken effect, for, at the very least, Equiano has been
offered a chance to escape and quite possibly with the blessing of Pascal who, though it is not clear, may even have been subtly intimating that freedom of mobility would be returned if he wanted it. Whatever the intent, Equiano will have none of it and, gradually emerging from his formerly terrorized condition, he now has no difficulty in wishing to make himself white by repeatedly washing his face. Later, he states how he “soon grew a stranger to terror of every kind, and was, in that respect at least, almost an Englishman.”
Gradually inured to his hardship, this capacity to endure becomes itself a qualification allowing him to call himself a group member.
So absolutely does this acculturation take place that Equiano is distant at best when encountering an African compatriot : “he soon came close to me...as if I had been his brother, though we had never seen each other before. "It is to a white shipmate, Dick, that Equiano feels fraternal connection: “[The chest and other things Pascal] afterwards gave to me, and I regarded them as a memorial of my friend, whom I loved, and grieved for, as a brother. ” Clearly, if Equiano figured Dick as his brother then Pascal, as Captain and Master, was father. Yet despite the familial circle Equiano dreamily imagines to coexist between them, Pascal is not the benevolent foster-parent he imagines him to be. By the time that Equiano has progressed in his syndrome to such an extent that he believes himself to be free, or soon to become so, Pascal has no further use for the slave and sells him onward: “I was so struck with the unexpectedness of this proceeding, that for some time I did not make a reply... he swore I should not move out of his sight, and if I did, he would cut my throat... ”The scene is sad indeed, yet are we
to perceive this as a sudden turnaround on Pascal’s part or more a realisation of Equiano’s that he is not the group member he had imagined himself to be? the case, it is significant that separation does not see the termination of this condition of dependency. Indeed, in the conflict between cruel reality and Equiano’s mental self-deception it is the latter which wins through when an explanation of the Master’s behaviour absolves Pascal of guilt, placing it entirely upon female influence: “[The lady] had conceived a pique against me on some occasion when she was on board, and she did not fail to instigate my master to treat me in the manner he did.”The son comes to the father’s defense, incredulity swiftly moving to exoneration, and this, in turn, developing once again into a hallmark emotion of the syndrome – gratitude – when Equiano is thankful for Pascal’s character reference, in truth little more than a sales pitch.

Equiano profits from slaving, even after he is free and can choose otherwise. In fact, he appears to interpret his actions in helping to establish a Mosquito Coast plantation as benevolent.”

Stockholm Syndrome has been noted already as a relevant basis by which to examine African-Americans and yet seems to have gone largely ignored in research specific to Equiano. Its merits in this area are apparent since, being a mental condition in which the world comes to be understood from the perspective of the abuser, Equiano is an obvious candidate for a case study. We have seen how the examples of the Sveriges Kreditbank employees and Patty Hearst function well as models by which we may gauge his behaviour and re-presentations;
how Pascal was a prototypical Master-captor whom
Equiano had good reason to fear and did, yet came to love; and how the Narrative itself is as much an embodiment and expression of Equiano’s mental condition as it is of his abolitionist beliefs. If the point of diagnosing an eighteenth-century ex-slave in such a manner is not immediately apparent, one need only recall that his work was put to good use by English abolitionists who sought a wider audience. That he decried slavery whilst being non-condemnatory to the point of advocacy – both of Pascal and England – must be seen as not only ironic and rhetorical but highly symptomatic.

Cotton picking sap, CrackacoonBuckwheat, I think it is pretty obvious who authored the stuff below, don't you think? Hint: it deals with these elements of your name -- "Cracka" and ends with "Buckwheat":

It's interesting: Your white mastas have you in check, like a little lapdog in a leash, which is why one will never ever see a cotton picking servant like you ever bug the likes of American Patriot, White Nord, Chimu and any other white masta of your's; instead your thoroughly slave-cultured mind is trained to display your inferiority complex and associated fear-induced hatred of both Africans and Black Americans.

What slave? An Englishman? A German? An Italian? An West Asian? A South Asian? A Turk? A Persian? A Japanese? A Chinese? A Native American?


Which out of named groups above are you saying I am? : )


We're waiting.

No need to wait; it's easy. You are the American Patriot's personal cotton picking sap.

Again notice he's projecting his own behaviour onto another.

It is in fact he who dares not insult the white racists. Ask yourself when was the last time you heard "The Explorer" aka "Supercar" aka "Ma Dick" be disrespectful to a white poster?


When was the last time he referred to a white poster as a slave, or some other racially derogatory name? It hasn't as far as I know and if it has it was only a one-time deal since you can very easily find his derogatory statements about Africans and African posters but you cannot find one post where he does the same to whites.

Explorer has been researching Albinism and Jewish genetic diseases and doesn't like what he's discovering.
I don't much blame him. It's all pretty scary stuff, with only one path to a happy ending. Not something you'll typically see in the usual Hollywood script, unless it's The Fly 3, and there's nothing cheery about that.

Forget a woman, that is the least of one of your problems; you don't have a father figure; you've been a fatherless bastard, since your white slave masta jacked your mama, and it shows.

You think nobody has noticed all the time you've been on this board trolling and looking to be anally-plugged, that not once do you ever chase after your white mastas...it's clearly because they have you on the leash. Instead, you are forced to direct your fear on people defending things African, Black Americans and Africans in general. Anybody who has been here long enough, will not be able to accurately count how many times I made an ass out of your white mastas like American Patriot, White Nord, Evil Euro, Debunker, the bedpan cleaning guy et al....and yes, even their servants like yourself, assfordick and mebigpussy. Nobody will ever witness you ever so much bark at you white mastas; in fact, most of the time, you actually join them, like their trained servile puppy, to mock defenders of things African. Jew blow-jobbing pimp, Assfordick, is particularly notorious for this behavior.

You must be on something very strong. You must have me confused with somebody else, as I never actually debate albinism with you; I don't bother, because I know that you are too much of a knucklehead to understand the matter, and so, let you wallow in your ignorance. Alas, I've tried to put some sense into you about the topic you raised here, and so have others, but to no avail. And don't think that we don't notice that you too are an African hater, a fact that the clowns on the politics section don't understand, which is why they go onto deride continental Africans, every time you spew your racialist venom.

All one has to do is look for the racist keywords....... (I won't dignify them by naming them)


Folks, doesn't "The Explorer" sound like some looney deranged racist?


PS. Also notice that he didn't change into his superhero persona. He did this because I mentioned that he would do so and he's trying not to play into it. : )

Too much of a knucklehead to understand?

Believe me, I am sensitive and empathetic to your Jewish issues.
The reality of your weak physical existence haunt you daily and prompt you to creating false realities from your desperately imaginative minds as a way of compensating for genetic inferiority. You create a world of separation by spewing racist philosophies across the globe, data mining false trail keywords and causing economic turbulence to all the world's genetically fit, people of color. In short, the chaos of Set.

I comprehend your 1/10 genetic weaknesses, and fear steeped psychology very well. This is exactly why you are here and so interested in black thought.

What makes this a funny post, is that all knows what a shallowly blatant lying clown you are, as you've never met me, and you are one of the very obtuse to mistake me for anything other than the Black person, which is something you always strive for. You are nothing more than a white man's imitator of "the African". You cannot be "Blacker" nor more African than the authentic thing, "the African". [Cool]

^ You poor Ashkenazi.

I am sympathetic to your plight, but I had nothing to do with it. Don't blame me for having no desire to mate with your peoples.


Ashkenazi Jewish Genetic Diseases

Tay-Sachs Disease is a condition where children develop normally until about four to six months of age.It is at this time that the central nervous system begins to degenerate.Individuals with Tay-Sachs Disease lack an enzyme called hexosaminidase (Hex A).The child loses all motor skills and becomes blind, deaf and unresponsive.Death usually occurs by the age of four.The carrier rate in the Ashkenazi Jewish population is approximately 1 in 25.More rare than the infantile type is Late Onset Tay-Sachs Disease, where the progression of symptoms is slower and milder.

Canavan Disease is very similar to Tay-Sachs Disease, with normal development until age two to four months, followed by progressive loss of previously attained skills.Most individuals with Canavan Disease die by the age of five.An estimated 1 in 40 Ashkenazi Jews is a carrier for this disease.

Niemann-Pick Disease – Type A is a disease in which a harmful amount of a fatty substance accumulates in different parts of the body.Failure to thrive and a progressive neurodegenerative course lead to death by three years of age.The carrier rate in the Ashkenazi Jewish population is approximately 1 in 90.

Gaucher Disease – Type 1 (pronounced go-shay) is a variable condition, both in age of onset and in progression of symptoms.A painful, enlarged and overactive spleen, with anemia and low white blood cell count are usually the initial features of Gaucher Disease.Bone deterioration is a major cause of discomfort and disability.Approximately 1 in 14 Ashkenazi Jews is a carrier of this condition.Treatment is available.

Familial Dysautonomia (FD) is a disease that causes the autonomic and sensory nervous systems to malfunction.This affects the regulation of body temperature, blood pressure, stress response, normal swallowing and digestion.An estimated 1 in 30 Ashkenazi Jews is a carrier of FD.

Bloom Syndrome is characterized by short stature, sun-sensitive facial skin lesions, an increased susceptibility to infections and a higher incidence of leukemia and certain cancers.The carrier rate is about 1 in 100 in the Ashkenazi Jewish population.

Fanconi anemia – Type C is a disease associated with short stature, bone marrow failure and a predisposition to leukemia and other cancers.Some children may have learning difficulties or mental retardation.Approximately 1 in 89 Ashkenazi Jews is a carrier for this condition.

Mucolipidosis IV (ML IV) is caused by the accumulation of certain harmful substances throughout the body.Individuals with ML IV experience a range of levels of motor and mental retardation, with developmental delays often manifesting themselves as early as the first year of life.Other symptoms can be related to the eyes, such as corneal clouding, pseudostrabismus and retinal degeneration.

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a multi-system disorder that causes the body to produce a thick mucus.The mucus accumulates primarily in the lungs and the digestive tract, resulting in chronic lung infections and poor growth.CF does not affect intelligence.The carrier rate for CF among all Caucasian individuals is approximately 1 in 25.The CF carrier test has a detection rate of 97% in the Ashkenazi Jewish population.

You poor white sap. You should have sympathy for your servile condition before worry about others. You come here on an African board, and call Africans "Ashkenazi" Jews, whom you no doubt worship and give them godly powers, because you think that it will turn a watered-down craka like yourself into a real "Black man".

The US black community don't bleach their skin. Besides wackos like LiL Kim and the Jacksons black Americans don't bleach their skin.

The article came out of the African Now publication.

Remember that black men in the US straigtened their hair called a conk, and in the 1990s used the Jerry curl to do the same thing attempting to gain "whiter" looking hair.
As you know, black women have always made the distinction between "good" hair and "buckshots".
Today, we see black women spending 10s of millions of dollars on horse hair weaves, blue contact lens, and even blond wigs.

Must of today's push to integrate with whites is embraced by blacks due to these psychological misconceptions placed in their heads by whites regarding the perfection of white features, versus the imperfection of black features such as; braod, flat nose, dark skin, kinky hair, large lips, large buttocks, ect.
The truth is, the black features are actually the most robust and healthy features of the two.

Black Americans don't bleach their skin. Oprah did not and does not bleach her skin. Number one cosmetics sold in any black magazine are normally hair products. If anyone is buying so-called skin bleachers then it is the Africans who live in America. Black Americans are the most proud Blacks in the world, moreso than Africans. You people problems are not our problems. We don't have much issue with blackness like other black people in the world.

LOL, as you get older and more experience with women you will come to understand that women only dress and make up their complexions for themselves and other women. Men have very little to do with it. It's all about the women's sense of self esteem, and how she feels other women we will see her.
Women dress for themselves and each other. Men give themselves far too much credit on affecting a women's appearance.

^This is the only thing you said that I agree with. Women compete with women and agaisnt themselves. Women don't "dress-up" or "make-up" for men.

A bleaching Agent Ad run in South Africa

If you compare the "lightened" images if the African man and women in the Ad, they follow the same appearance typically chosen as model images in popular Black American media which gains worldwide exposure such as, Ebony, Jet, B.E.T., Radio-One TV, etc., which propagate these messages of lightened success to black youth worldwide.

US Skin Bleaching Ad
 -

This was best illustrated in Spike Lee's 1988 film "School Daze" in the scene played out in a beauty parlor between the "jiggaboos," otherwise known as the darker-skinned Blacks with nappy hair, and the "wannabe's," the lighter-skinned Blacks with straight often times weaved hair. But who could forget the film version of Alice Walker's novel "The Color Purple" in which Mister asked for Nettie who was "chocolate" colored with long hair but was given Celie, who was dark-skinned with nappy and short coarse hair, instead. This was followed by a grown-up Celie dealing with the harsh realities of beauty and Mista's in-house mistress Shug Avery.

Then you had Black sororities and fraternities who used the "brown paper bag test" to deny entrance to anyone darker than the bag.

The House Negro and Field Negro is the hugest myth in American history. Very dark and ugly black women worked in the house, rather 99.99% of those who worked in the house were very black, African, unattractive women. There weren't many light skin blacks then and even today there is not a lot of them. Dark women worked both the house and the fields. If there were any lightskin black working in the house that is because she was part of the family. The lightskin house negro is the hugest misconception of all time.

Ebony and Jet always had a reputation of representing the common black American man/woman. Practically everyone face in their issue were either brown, medium brown, dark brown, or black. There weren't too many light skin blacks in their issues. These magazines were the first to show true authentic black beauty. Those with Afros, beads, braids, and full features got show cased the most. B.E.T was another medium that represented the common black American man and woman. You didn't find too many light skin people on B.E.T. Those on B.E.T were either brown, medium brown, dark brown just as the black American population looks. Any light skin person on Black Television or Magazines are in the minority. I know Africans are very black people so people who are brown to us normally look "light" to them. Nonetheless, black journalism whether television or magazine does a great job with showing the common black man and woman.
