Sammy Sosa.....trying to be white?

[SKATEXEDGE]

I just saw this news story online and I was pretty disgusted. What the fuck is wrong with some black folks?? Like a certain other celebrity, this fool is taking black self-hatred too far. And....he's planning on marketing this stuff to the public! What do you all have to say on this?

read this nonsense here..

I think he was bitten and became a vampire and that this particular strain turns you white and creepy looking.

Just ill.....What's next...a nose job?!.

[Mlle d. Sade]

Maybe he has vertiligo? A lot of people have that, it's fairly common and can progress rapidly. Some people get it all lightened so as to not look blotchy.

I'm trying to be hopeful as articles and stuff manufacture the "truth' they want out there. .. ..it is curious. His scalp and hand don't appear to be as light. He has always had a conk, tho. ....

Seen plenty of pics of a nappy haired Sammy and I don't even follow baseball.

Skin disorders don't make you get green contacts either. It does look strange, but everyone has their issues. I wish Sammy luck.

At least people are calling it out these days.

Rita Hayworth was born with a dark complexion, a flatter nose and a lower hairline which were all surgically altered (I think the movie studios paid for it) to make her appear "whiter". She also applied skin lighteners all over her body.

0_O?! Wasn't that nigga dark as fuck? Did Wacko Jacko will his skin cream to Sosa? Well Sosa's a has-been/former baseball star. He's been out ov the lyme-light for years now & clearly he's flipped his lid.
Atleast he [appears] to be attrached to grown women, thank the Devil...

He looks scary. lol. at first i though it was a prank. but on the real, it's sad how blacks basically dominate the entertainment world and they still can't accept themselves.

I don't know if you're trying to say that she was something other than white...But she looks like the whitest woman on earth.

Omg, first Tom Jones now Sosa...

Rita Hayworth was Latina from what I understand. Considering the outright racism back in those days, I'm not surprised that stuff was done to her. The studios used to completely control the actors under contract to them.

Her father is a Spaniard (White).


They more than likely just wanted her more "Anglo", I guess.
