A friend sent me this video this weekend and I was horrified. The ad is for skin whitener and it features a fair skinned man telling his friend that in order to get the girl/job/general symbol of success, he needs to lighten his skin.
What an upsetting piece of advertising!
The whitening should come from within.
Bleaching your skin is just cheating. It’s a final step only if and when one achieves true Oreodom through actions, thought repression and penance. When the rest of the world accepts you fully as one of their own despite your overabundance of melanin, then and only then can you complete your transformation. Until then, the efforts of your blood sweat and tears you cry to yourself with when no one else is looking will shine through and make you seem white without the crutch of a cream.
The Oreo Experience 
Nothing wrong with changing your skin color tone, but it wouldn’t hurt to do the “whitening” from within to balance things out.
So did Michael Jackson reach this “Oreodom” and thus was allowed to change his skin tone?
ALSO: If you note in this commercial, depending on the shots, the guy selling the product is darker/lighter depending on who he is standing next to…
Thanks for this bloog post
