If you can't see another point of view that is fine----------

but to deny that tanning (sitting under the sun) to get blacker does not increase ones risk of skin cancer?

Sun burns, blistering of the skin, sun poisoning?

they are "healthy"?

I don't deny what you are saying about why some blacks bleach their skin----------but whites do the opposite for the same reason.

Dark skin looks healthier so if one looks healthier then they may be more attractive and if they are more attractive then it may help them get dates or even jobs.

now examples of it being healthier for blacks to bleach-----your guess would be as good as mine----but as far as attitude that is easy----if the change makes "them" happy (not what other Blacks think), then they have enhanced their attitude.

no one is going to tell me how to be-----a white person, black person, or blue person.

Sorry about telling you how to speak with me. If you want to insult me within the reasoning feel free---------to speak to me with respect would probably mean you were trying to be "white"-------and you don't want that.
