"I just don't have any sympathy for these women. Yes I am white but like one of the moms said,in today's society it doesn't matter what skin color you are, you should be proud of your skin. And they were saying how lighter skinned people are more desirable and get treated better but I see that to be completely false."Kelsey Talk about insensitive...why would a white person ever understand what she was going through, the beauty industry revolves around women of European decent! WTF, I can't believe someone in this day and age could be so insensitive. I am a very fair skinned African American model that works in the beauty sector of modeling, and I have seen how difficult it is for brown skinned models to break in. Which makes it even more difficult for regular brown skinned women to find their skin tone appealing...the bleaching is a personification of the lack of brown skinned beauties in the industry and nothing more. If the beauty industry showed more images of beautiful brown skinned black women, the images that young girls deem to be beautiful would change and more women would embrace themselves. It's one thing not to understand, and another to be judgmental about something that is impossible for one of a polar opposite to even identify with.

I was watching the show and I just don't have any sympathy for these women. Yes I am white but like one of the moms said,in today's society it doesn't matter what skin color you are, you should be proud of your skin. And they were saying how lighter skinned people are more desirable and get treated better but I see that to be completely false. There are only a select few who don't believe this so those women must be surrounding themselves with the wrong people. So, in that case, it seems like they are putting it on themselves that they aren't as good. Also, I don't believe the test they did asking girls if they knew about skin bleaching or if they did it or not was very fair. Of course white people aren't going to know about skin bleaching because they are already white, but maybe they could've asked them if the wished they were darker. I know a lot of fair skinned girls who all they do is try to be darker and darker. So instead of making it look like all us light skinned people are making the rest feel bad maybe they should consider all the girls who tan and tan just asking to get skin canccer and can't think about anything else except how to be darker.

Tyra: I am a dark skinned black man that saw your show today on "Women Bleaching" and I just want to make 2 points. My first point is of all the ladies on the stage I noticed, that they were so concerned about being lighter, but apparently not concerned about their hair. The first thing I notice about a beautiful woman is having her own hair, not wearing wigs, and all that add on that is not becoming. All of those young women needed to visit a beauty salon before appearing on national tv.Maybe if they took more time to work on what they have, they would have time to worry about something so meaningless. Light-skinned or dark.. real beauty is within and exudes out for other to see.My second point is for the one that said her feelings were hurt when she was out with friends, all lighter than her! If she was a real sister and had high self esteem what she should have told those guys were, that she was the Rose in a field of Tulips! All black woman are beautiful, each in a different way, but yet Beautiful, but you have to believe that within your own heart, mind and soul! They can bleach the skin, but not the genes! Black Women , be proud of who you are, light or dark. Stand tall because you have evolved and now is your time!

I feel like this show is designed to embarass black people. honestly tyra i love u to death and im really proud of what u have achieved. but some things u say in your show really put black people down,sometimes i feel traumatized by u show as a black girl,please talk about u self only don't include all black people. the other day u made a comment that black girls are always in u face,some of us are raised different that was such an insult for me,cause im from south africa and im raised in a cultural way to be very respectfull, in my culture u can't be in anyones face that against my culture so when u talk please refer to yourself or u american people this is very insulting im even scared to watch u show now cause i don't know whats next embarrassment for black people? white people are making their shows to promote good things about themself but in u case u promoting our flaws,u such a white washup,ABOUT BLEACHING SKIN I FROM SOUTH AFRICA AND I NEVER HEARD OF BLEACHING SKIN LOTION, I LOVE MY DARK SKIN AS A MATTER OF FACT I ALWAY COMPLAIN ABOUT HOW I WISH I WAS DARKER THAN THIS. CAUSE IN MY COUNTRY THE DARKER U ARE THE BETTER. LIGHT SKIN WAS OLD FASHIONED BEAUTY NOT ANYMORE so please stop promoting wrong info about black people i feel so offended/dipressed about some stuff u say. u should be helping us not kill us mentally

my comment is in regards to skin bleaching im white and i would love to be darker. in the summer im out all the time trying to get a tan and that is bad for my skin, so it kinda goes both ways if you think about it. lighter people want to be darker and darker want to be lighter. when you go into a store their are so many creams and lotions to make your skin darker shouldent white people be happy with their skin too? or not because when you go to the beach or even pool people stare and think that you should not even ware shorts without a tan

I absolutely feel that bleaching is an insult to my race. I am light-skinned, but I don't think I'm better than anyone darker than me. My sister is darker than me, but she is just as beautiful. No one should have to bleach her skin just to feel gorgeous because they already are, regardless of her skin tone.

I went to see "Notorious" today and it was very well done. Biggie and Tupac were 2 of my favorite rappers of all time, and this movie brought back all the emotion I felt when they were both taken away at such young ages. This movie gave great insight into the life of a very talented man. The only thing that could have been better was the actor they cast as Tupac - I don't feel that this actor portrayed him with enough justice. All of the other actors did superb jobs. I highly recommend this movie.
