WTF Moment: Vybz Kartel /New Music: 'Go Go Wine'

I just did a post about skin color bias in African American women.  In the post, these brave women spoke about how their dark skin was a constant source of ridicule and shame by people in society.  There was even a child who was asked to look at two pictures, one of a light-skinned child and one of a dark-skinned child.  That same little girl was asked of the two which was considered 'ugly' and the child pointed at the picture of the dark-skinned child. Society has made us think that light is right and dark is wrong.  Case in point, controversial Jamaican rapper Vybz Kartel must subscribe to this same mantra.  Kartel, who was once a dark-skinned male has taken to bleaching his skin to become lighter.  Apparently, Kartel must have not been too happy with his appearance to go to such lengths to become lighter.

WTF?  What magical stuff is he using to get THAT LIGHT?

  Just recently, Rolling Stone Magazine interviewed Vybz Kartel and the question came up about his skin bleaching.  This is what he had to say:
Speaking of, are you tired of being asked about your appearance – about skin bleaching, especially?


It's played out – come with something different, man.
OK, how's this: You've said that a black man bleaching his skin is no different from women getting weaves and hair extensions. Do you still think so?

Hell, yeah. And cosmetic surgery. Or when a girl straightens her hair, or gets collagen or silicone. I have said in a statement that when everyone stops doing all of that shit, we can all live naturally ever after. But until then, fuck you all!
(Rolling Stone)


Well, I guess he told us!  In the meanwhile enjoy Kartel's latest video, 'Go Go Wine':




What are your first THOUGHTS???

Well, I think you can do whatever you want to your skin, body or what have you.  It's your right!  But in this video, dude somewhat resembles a jackal!  I'm just saying... Or at least some type of wounded leopard, with the spots and all... LOL..
