Nah you're not "racist" buddy..You just hate yourself. SMH

Thank you for posting that. Self hatred at its worst.

LMAO....this only proves many of us were right about in the other thread, about what Sammy was doing to his skin. On George Lopez's show last night, George did a commercial spoof on Sammy. They did a fake commercial where he had two kinds of beer;they had one beer with Sammy's original dark complexion, and the other beer with his bleached face, and on the label it stated "light (beer) less threatening". I almost fell off my chair laughing so hard. The audience was dying laughing.

And Sammy gets the gas face:

2elijah said:

LOL o damn i missed tht! gta youtube it
but sammy pisses me off because he's STILL not owning up to it. he's saying he used a bleacher to soften his skin and is acting as thought the lighter skin was a random side effect. like come on! just admit it - the public isnt as dumb as he would like for them to be. SMH
o well. another lost one - FUCK IT

Moonwalkbjrain said:

There is no way in hell you can use a bleacher for the "sole purpose" of softening your skin. He is lying his ass off and is embarassed to say that he tried to bleach the black out of his skin. What an ass.

I hope his skin heals 4x's darker than what it was originally. He doesn't look good in mustard yellow.

bleaching creams really do that much!? I had a scar mark on my arm I tried to use bleaching cream for, but it didn't some to work at all. Maybe you have to use it for years.

That reminds me of that old term "doo-doo mustard"

2elijah said:

And what manly man admits to wanting "soft" skin. I'ma go on and say it: "Nucca puhlease!" (See, 2E, there's no other phrase that adequately addresses this BS. )

paintedlady said:

He looks awful. Not to mention what kind of poisoning that could have on his blood and organs. He used way too much. He needs to just embrace the beauty of his skin and be done with it, and if someone has an issue with the hue of his skin....then F*ck them.

He's only been using it for months. But many of the super stuff is not available in the US over the counter, but you can prolly get all kinds of crazy shit in other countries.

2elijah said:

Exactly. A fraud on and off the baseball field.

SCNDLS said:

It would have been better if he said, "I want an upcoming lead role in a Novela."

I love George "melon head" Lopez.

SCNDLS said:

I hear you. How did he think he could get away with that, without people questioning what the hell he is doing. It appears he was ashamed of who he is, as if his skin tone was a curse. It's all that colonial/plantation mentality. How stupid can he be to do that to himself just to be "accepted" by others? I have no sympathy for jackasses. What he did was lack of self-love and respect for himself.

2elijah said:

I know right? What does he look like when he takes his shirt off? Reverse tan? Eww. White body, brown ass.

paintedlady said:

I admire George because he's not afraid to go "there". I normally don't stay up to watch a late night show, because I have to get up early for work, but I waited to watch his show last night and laughed my ass off at his jokes.

paintedlady said:

Horrific. Like Scndls said, he looks like the character Eddie Munster. He won't have no problem searching for a Halloween costume, he has one for life now.

And sadly, I bet his wife thought that was a good idea as well... I hope he learns from this.

ufoclub said:

Yes. if he used it every night, and who knows how long, then it doesn't surprise me that his skin lightened like that. I think he may have used another type of procedure, but probably won't admit it.

As far as your scar, you probably could have used natural cocoa butter. The one that is sold in solid, stick form, because it works faster. You can also use the one from a company named "Palmer's" cocoa butter that is sold in the jar. I had burnt my arm while taking something out of the oven and it left me with a bad scar. But I used natural cocoa butter, and also opened up some Vitamin E gel capsules and poured the oil from the capsule on the scar. It took a long time to see any difference, almost 8 months to a year, but now, you could see it just a little, as before it was really showing, and I had to hide it with bracelets.

OR you could open an aloe vera leaf and rub the contents of it on the scar. It takes a long time to work, but it is natural and good for healing scars and getting the scar back to its natural color, depending on the severity of the burn or scar.

This is something my mother who is from the Caribbean told us about years ago, that they used to grow aloe vera in her mother's yard, and that people in the Caribbean used the contents of the aloe vera leaf, as a lotion for their skin. They also used it for scars to get the scar back to their natural skin color or close to it.

I hope others learn from his stupidity. It's ridiculous that someone has that much self-hatred that they would try to erase their entire skin color. Even with his success as a baseball player and a role model to many young, future baseball players, that still wasn't enough. Very sad.

ew

Moonwalkbjrain, I hope you don't mind, but I copied/paste the article from the link you provided:




Can't be that damn happy if he tried to erase his skin color.
[Edited 11/11/09 9:28am]

Yep, he's changed

I know Afro/Latinos are color struck but DAYUM Sammy!

I think the most interesting part of the story is that he is actually admitting to doing this. I am sure there might be a whole racial theory written about cases like that(and have, Frantz Fanon's "Black Skins White Masks" for one) but it is intriguing that he treats skin bleaching as a purely aesthetic procedure, or so he claims. Let's face it, bleach creams are out there so they are used by somebody.

It makes me wonder whether there will be a time when stuff like that will be treated with such lightness as spray on tan or hair removal.

No Hall of Fame for him.

why so serious, Sammy?

rushing07 said:

Not for people of color who do this because they think being lighter is closer to being white which equals "better" in their twisted minds.
