Self Hate or Skin Rejuvenation Process - Sosa's lighter skin tone becomes Internet craze

Full story: msn.foxsports.com

Sosa made waves last week when he showed up at the Latin Grammy Awards in Las Vegas with a noticably lighter skin tone than he had during his playing days. So what's behind this new lighter skin tone?

Could we call it a case of limpiando de sangria or is it something more?Either way,it's more than evident that Sammy Sosa is wearing another color.Like Michael Jackson,it suits Sammy Sosa(a black Dominican)better to just be black.You'd have to do a double take to realize that Sosa wasn't harboring some form of skin disease.However, sources close to the former slugger indicate that he 'supposedly' underwent blemish and sun damage removal treatments.It all could be the case-heck,I'd love to believe that excuse.The only thing is,it doesn't add up at all.

A new permed out do and green color contact lenses support Sosa's creepy chameleon skin.If I didn't know any better,I'd have to say that he's trying go beyond mere cosmetic procedures and grooming practices.And for what,you ask?To escape his undeniable blackness,sadly!He may have paid to be bleached beyond recognition and lost a bit of himself in the process,but inspite of this,he's still as African as his ancestors coming off the schooner.

Everybody knows Whites are better looking and most non-Whites would do anything to look White. That's why skin bleach, tinted contacts, hair relaxer, and procedures to give people Caucasian features are such huge moneymakers.

This isn't no damn skin rejuvenation, the brother is inflicted with massive self-hate......My point proven....smh..... i warn of this every day, and made one of the best threads i ever did on this subject.

Anyways, this is more proof, of how self-hate is permeating our community, and its tied to the pathetic chasing of 'whiteness' which then translates into some white mate, as you see here with sosa......which is why in the end its a genocidal mentality which hurts the african and the community!

They may be just saying that he underwent skin rejuvenation processes for the purpose of sensationalis,to make people say "wow look at how his skin color has changed from dark to light". When in actuality there is nothing uncommon about a person going from kind of medium brown skin,like he was, to light skin like he became.Ever heard of sun tan? Lots of people are normally the sort of light olive color that he became after his supposedly skin rejuvenation treatment,but they can get pretty dark skinned after a summer tan.I and others I know are of an olive complexion,but have at times tanned dark enough to be medium brown skin in summer or tropical sun. I'm suspecting same thing occured with him.I don't believe this story about his skin rejuvenation story.They'll say anything to make a story.Have to take much in the media with a grain of salt really.

He is a color struck fool.

If he is under going "skin rejuvenation" why are his eyes now green??

He is a known liar, and he is lying about this. He didn't expect the outlash he received so he is making up this story.

The only thing is,when Sammy came from the Dominican Republic,he was a brown colored man.He wasn't very light to begin with.If he was light and underwent a procedure to remove damage,we wouldn't even be having this dialogue.Because of the clear difference in appearance,compared to his earlier Cub baseball days,it's clear he's been altered greatly.If you could show me older pics of Sammy donning anything close to his new skin tone,I'd concede what you're saying.The problem is,neither you,nor I could produce these pictures.

Chicago has all the seasons to deal with.If a person in colder months loses shades of color,it could only be so many shades of color.But then,why didn't Sammy look radically different from himself throughout his playing days with the Cubs,admist being exposed to the seasons in Chicago?So much for the idea of receiving a deep tan or being weather-beaten.

He's undergone an extreme depigmentation and the new hair and contacts only support that he isn't trying to gain back his former self.The underlying factors suggest that he's trying to be something he's not;a white or lighter skinned person.I mean,the contacts and tightly straightened hair all on top of his new color(laughs).I hope this whole situation dies down,but I don't see it being down played any time soon.

Janet,thanks for the response!

Why does "lightening the skin" get so much backlash and yet the other self mutilating procedures don't? Is it seen as more drastic than breast/chin/peck implants, face lifts, hair removal, liposuction etc., etc., etc.?

Maybe skin lightening is the equivalent to those drastic face jobs we see sometimes. Where is the line? At what point is a "self improvement" procedure seen as a disorder?

Hmmmm.....

No thanks. I'm aging wonderfully and we tend to have beautiful youthful skin for a very long time. If what you say is true, then why are butt implants, lip implants, and tanning so popular? Who are people who get those procedures trying to emulate? White people get colored contacts and they perm their hair to remove straightness. Some people just want what they don't have, nothing more. Does someone exist with low self-esteem? Yes. Just don't think for a second that all black people want to be white, or that we all find white people to be the most attractive.

White people are quick to throw insults at all races-

but let's focus on the white race for a moment.

They (whites) are closer to animals than any other race.

1. They have LICE. Whites live in constant fear of small white creepy crawly bugs that are quick to take up residency in their hair on their scalps.

Lice have been found only on gorillas too. So whites have that common characteristic with actual gorillas, yet they taunt blacks as being animals.

Blacks, and all other races as well, are actually cleaner than whites.

2. When hot, white peoples skin give off a strange scent I've never smelled on any other race of people. They smell like raw meat or wet dog many people say privately.

This is true.

Plus, white peoples hair sticks to the forehead and neck like a wet dog as well.

3. White people are the LONE HUMAN RACE with absolutely NO PIGMENTATION of their skin and in many cases hair (blonde hair) and eyes (blue eyes)- these are albino traits.

And just like actual albinos whites Cant stand the sun for too long without getting sunburned so they are always reaching for suncream.

Blonde hair, blue eyes, pale white skin are all albino traits and white people are the only race on the planet with these unnatural and abnormal traits.

Whites are so cunning and clever that they have taken their unnatural and abnormal traits and promoted it as supposed beauty. It's not beautiful.

This lack of any pigmentation is so abnormal that whites are referred to as "Devils".

LAST, whites have no elasticity "at all" to their skin which is why after to much exposure to the sun and at a certain age their skin literally "cracks" like a porcelain doll which is why they were nicknamed "crackas".
