Sosa's lighter skin tone becomes Internet craze by FOXSports.com Sammy Sosa is once again the subject of Internet buzz, but this time it's not for home runs or steroids.
It's for skin care. Or something that might resemble skin care.
Sosa made waves last week when he showed up at the Latin Grammy Awards in Las Vegas with a noticably lighter skin tone than he had during his playing days.
So what's behind this new lighter skin tone?
"He's not trying to be Michael Jackson," said former Cubs employee Rebecca Polihronis, who talks frequently with Sosa, according to the Chicago Tribune.
"He is going through a rejuvenation process for his skin," Polihronis said. "Women have it all of the time. He was surprised he came out looking so white. I thought it was a body double. Part of (the photo appearance) is just the lighting.
"He is in the middle of doing a cleansing process to his skin. The picture is deceiving. He said, 'If you saw me in person, you would be surprised. When you see me in person, it is not going to seem like the picture.'
"People who saw him in person did not react the same way. He can't believe it is such a big deal."

It has everything to do with egypt. Oh btw... I already posted a thread on Sammy. Anyhow, this goes to the heart of the culture vulture of Afrocentrists.

Perhaps Sosa assumed nobody would notice the transformation?

I expect that! Afrocentrists are given to the crow mentality that keeps attacking the strawman. I expect nothing more from the afronutters than this.

Only Dominicans? Uh... you better add the Afronuts to that list. He is no different from the Assfro Negroes on this site. Just as Sammy Sosa desperately wants to be white, those on this board desperately want to be AE. What's the difference? Both suffer the same psychosis.

That's the kind of mindless rants I am talking about, Kemet was African pure and simple..black if you will. no root difference from ancient Somilia, Axum, Punt Mali,Ghana,Nok,Mauritania, etc in population make up and in terms of culture. what the hell has that got to do with Sammy's boredom with his face?

What kind of a moron/idiot came up with the idea of making better pan-Africans by lynching/abusing the would-be pan-Africans?

Since it turns out Neely Fuller was right....
I guess the Game now is to PRETEND to be pan-Africans while being absolute monsters, working hand in hand with the racist whites that run the system??
Why didn't somebody tell me this years ago so I would have given up instead of wasting my BLOODY TIME!!!Posts: 3423 | From: the jungle - when y'all stop playing games, call me. | Registered: Jul 2006

Nothing, of course! But Brada made a thread recently about a skin bleaching advertisement in India which is nothing new, and since this section of the forum likes to discuss off-subject issues like 'race' and color, I figure why not? You didn't complain in Brada's thread, but of course you have to yank my d*ck.

LMAO Yeah like nobody would notice a man's skin color change almost over night if not several weeks. At least Michael Jackson had years not that I'm saying he bleached his skin, but the vitiligo argument makes more sense with MJ than with Sosa's claims of skin "rejuvenation"!

My comment was strictly one of folks loving to stew in the sauces of the idea of any black people having issues with their physical appearance -- in other words reveling in black despair. Did not mean to come off as ... "these negroes here .. mo' sad niggas". So to answer your question i'd call it unlucky.

And now for more coat tail hangers reaching for my junk

^ Stop daydreaming. We've successfully debunked your points consistently. The Ancient Egyptians were tropically adapted black Africans. You need to move aside, we, the superior men, have won that debate consistently.
Results from off-topic debates doesn't enhance your position in those threads. I suggest moving back, Bettyboo, in the M threads, and what not, and get owned again. Posts: 1080 | Registered: Aug 2008
