Cameroonian singer Dencia has been catching a lot of heat lately over a
product that she has been endorsing. This dark beauty is endorsing a
very controversial product call Whitenicious. It is a skin lightening
cream that is so popular that when it launched, it almost immediately
sold out!
The product retails for $50-$150 depending on how much you get. The
ads feature Dencia, scantily clad in bikinis, with noticeably lighter
skin than her real color. The ad says that this is what it can do for
your skin if you use it.
In the press release about the product it states that the cream is to
be used for dark spots on the skin, acne blemish scars, and dark
patches of skin on the elbows and knees. However that is not what the ad
is depicting. It is showing the entire body of the singer lightened
severely. So if this cream is just for blemishes and rough dark patches
of skin, why is her whole body much whiter than before?
With advertisements such as this people will look at the photo first
and then look at the product that is being sold. Sometimes they will
read the description, sometimes they won’t. So the first impression of
the ad that they will get is that this gorgeous woman with an afro for
days doesn’t want to have dark skin anymore so she used the cream to
lighten her whole body.
People took to social media and slammed the African singer for her ads. One user commented: “I
have never understood our infatuation with bleaching away our natural
skin colors besides being a major case of inferiority complex, sure you
may look lighter on the outside but on the inside you are still who you
are….”. Kola Boof called her an “imitation White woman”.

Hypersensitive political correctness gone wild. What the difference between that and white women who tan too much? It's personal preference. There are so many stupid trends and fads out there.

True. A woman who is a sickly white pasty shade of pale is just as unattractive as one who is so black that her skin shimmers a greenish hue.

not even remotely the same thing. White people who tan don't want to look "black". What a misconception. White people tan their skin because a tan covers up flaws in the skin.
It hides acne, blotchiness, dark circles under the eyes, sickly look due
to poor nutrition, etc. A tan makes the person look healthier and more
even toned. Some tan because he makes them look like a person of leisure, who has the time and money to "tan".

I just meant it's a stretch that people who lighten there skin want to be white or whites who braid their hair want to be black for that matter maybe they just prefer the look.
