I have heard that within black communities, light skinned black people are treated better and seen as more attractive than darker skinned black people. I'm supposing that's what they're talking about.
I'm forced to wonder if that might have something to do with it being easier to make out facial features and contrasts and shapes and shadows on lighter skin than on darker skin?
I don't think it's entirely fair to compare sunscreen to skin lightening. Sunscreen does more than change the way we look. Sunscreen protects our skin from the sun so we don't get burnt or put ourselves at higher risk for skin cancer. As far as I know, there aren't any kind of skin lightening products that do anything like that.
