Vanity Fair's Strategic Skin Lightening of Lupita Nyong'o

"Vanity Fair's strategic skin lightening of actress Lupita Nyong'o should be seen and summed up in a long list of political strikes against a people. In which not only the system that sends the strikes has a disdain for African people at home and throughout the diaspora. But, possesses the political will to bring an individual in/out of 'being black' whenever it is beneficial to that same said system. It also possesses a potency to produce a self hatred from the victim that is horrifying to say the least.

The politics of race, class, shade, etc. by US Imperialism may be witnessed via its dictates and dealings with Dominican Republic as opposed to that of Haiti. Images of Jesus to Santa Claus. The Newsweek darkening of OJ Simpson when tried for double homicide. Sean 'Puffy' Combs first reaction upon seeing Christopher 'Biggie'Smalls. When rapper Drakes photo album cover was darkened. When the Machine initially mentally murdered Michael Jackson and the majority of his family. With the political powdering of the Beyonces and of Indie Arie. The colonized community at large couldn't even imagine the cold calculated conversations that are controlled by corporate America." --Chairman Fred Jr.. POCC/BPPC
