Don’t Make Fun of Sammy Sosa’s Skin-Bleaching, Try to Understand it…
<p>When the first images appeared of Sosa bleaching his skin, I was asked a question about him on a panel and it was a question that was asked in a very: “You better criticize him” way. I responded: “If you expect me to criticize a man I 100% understand you are sadly mistaken.” Many couldn’t understand it. The automatic reaction was anger and confusion. And I’m like: “Why are you angry at me or Sammy Sosa like you’ve never hated yourself?” And it’s usually some light-skin, pro-black person wondering why I would defend Sosa. And then it’s some pro-black, dark-skin person who can’t believe someone would do such a thing to their skin acting like at no point in their own lives they never hated themselves or were made to feel less than in a family mixed with lighter Dominicans (or pick Caribbean or Latin American country). </p>
