/// ‘A skin-lightening regime has been part of my life practically since birth,’ she claims. ‘There are many different types of African skin — from dark charcoal to a lighter version — and you grow up knowing that the lighter ladies are the prettier ones. It’s just a fact.’ ///
/// Her younger sister, Elsa, 27, agrees, explaining how disturbing hierarchies of skin colour are still influencing African girls. ‘Being lighter shows you belong to a different place on the social ladder. All the rich, successful black African men marry either a white or a very light-skinned girl because they too grew up thinking that the lighter is the most pretty. It doesn’t matter how dark a man is, of course — the pressure is all on women.’ ///

No it should be the black men who see a white(er) woman as beautiful if you must find someone to blame.
All seems very odd to me, our kids spend all day under cancer inducing sun beds and African kids spend all day trying to get white.
And the liberals spend all day finding offence on behalf all others !
