  1. Disturbing, very disturbing.

    It's oh so sad to me to hear that there are people of color out there that don't embrace the beautiful brown skin that they've been given by the grace of God.

    It's a sad thing indeed when we start believing the hype that we're not as beautiful as Caucasian people.

  2. I guess poverty - racism - inequality and lack of education can do that to a person.

    Education really is key I think - but if you're denied an education due to your social class( which in some countries appears to be determined by the shade of your skin.. in others the colour!!) where do you begin? How do these people get out?

    It's like watching another world! only it's not. It's this world - in this time

    It's quite sad. Makes me cringe abit..
    Tell you what though.. if you tell them they're victims they would probably curse you out!! :)

    Government Government where art thou?
    What an unequal society in what I hear is such a beautiful part of the world.. the IMF vid sheds a bit of light on that though ( Globalisation) - still.. more can be done surely.
