If it's the fair, de-ethnicized look you're after, there's a Facebook app for that. A Facebook application aimed at users in India released last month promises to lighten the skin tone of faces in profile pictures. But it's sparking cries of racism, wh

    I don't see the outrage, well I mean I can see why they would think that. However if you don't want the product than don't buy it. Should I get upset as a white guy of all the tanning products there are? That as a result try to turn my skin from white to almost brown? No, those are liked because some people like the look of being tanned. Expecially when they can control how tan they want to go.

    This product is the exact same except for people that wish to go lighter. What's the problem?

    The problem is there are far too many people in this world that have nothing to do with their time but grasp at things to bitch about.

    Jesus loves the little children
    All the children of the world
    Red and yellow, black and white
    They are precious in his sight
    Jesus loves the little children of the world

    Everything is racist in its own way
    Like a starry summer night
    Or a snow-covered winter's day
    And everybody's racist, in their own way
    Under God's Heaven
    The world's gonna find a way

    Well I'm glad of it. Better than when it flips (I'm sure it will), and white girls get their eyes sown shut to look Chinese. The Romans liked to emulate the Greeks as well.

    Nor has it been proven or did he have his kids taken away from him.

    The women here are into fish belly, three days in the grave, nosferatu white. Having dark skin is a sign of being lower class. Whenever they start in about their skin at work, I slap down my arm, "No SK-2!!"....then someone pulls the hair on my arm and says,"only because you're hairy." Our kids got a lot of attention because of their complexion. Our youngest is even fairer and has blue-green eyes, which gets him more attention than he wants. With our oldest, if people didn't back off and stop touching he'd spit. Our youngest shoves and punches....hard. I pity the red head and blond children.

    Well, personally, I think that tanning lotion is much worst. How many people (and a lot of celebrities) we see that are orange-colored because of too much use of tanning lotion ?

    However, I think the skin color of female Asians is quite sexy. Not too dark and not too white. I wonder why they want to change the color of their skin to be more "occidental". We are each born we our differences.

    Your Right Brenda,


    It wasn't proven because Mikeel Jackson (He bacame a Muslim) paid a fortune to the boys and the boys parents to shut up about his perversion, with no one to testify it made it hard to prove. Once again Hollywood justice prevails.

    That is my opinion, your opinion is equally valid and may even be right. It Ultimately comes down to everyone has their own opinion about whether Michael did or didn't do it.
