yes, but different non white cultures react differently to white supremacy, so saying that, because skin bleaching is popular in foreign countries, not just African countries, but Asian countries as well, it could be popular here is wrong. most black americans would rather die than admit to skin bleaching. it is considered shameful to us, but in some African countries celebrities openly sell and endorse skin bleaching products.
Skin bleaching has been tried in the US. There were skin bleaching preparations hawked in the US decades ago, but they were found to be snake oil.
Moreover, it's still being practiced in the US at the high end by a number of celebrities who can afford the preparations that won't turn their livers to paste.
Yes, it is. You can tell by asking people why they do each. White people will say that tans give the perception of health and the luxury of leisure. "You have a tan! Did you just come back from vacation? Where? Hawaii? The Bahamas?"
Ask a black person why she bleaches her skin. "To give the perception of health" won't be on the list.

It doesn't matter what they say. The point is they are both (purposely) altering their skin, either darker or lighter. Trying to be another color.

An athlete in training may eat 3,000 calories a day because his training goals demand it; a depressed person might eat 3,000 calories a day for emotional comfort. The reasons why two people might do the same thing are significant.
I'd say that black women with blonde hair is certainly no worse than white women getting injections in their lips and backsides or wearing butt pads in order to achieve that curvier, more lush body shape that women of color are known for.
It's not about wanting to be another race. It's about these women aiming for this central, universal idea of what they feel "beauty" is.
That is not acting black. Everything you wrote is about being urban and it crosses all racial lines.
NOPE, those fools definitely "Whitey trying to act Black".....they get labeled with the dreaded W word by me.

just a side note, most blonde white women aren't natural blondes either.
