I am an African American female. My ethinicity is Jamaican and American. My reaction to the video is that its depressing to see that in the 21st century ignorance on race still exist. This video really touched me because i know people personally who are ashamed of being black, because of how they were raised. We are brain washed into believing that black people are "inferior" and white people are "superior". As a result blacks will even violate their bodies and skin, created by God, to try and look pretty by white standards. Some children unfortuanetely are taught at a young age that lighter skin is much pretteir than darker. As a result children who are dark skinned have alot of self esteem issues because they think they are ugly because of what the've been taught to believe.
