What is your shitty beef about women who want to be fair in complexion?

People bleaching have low self-esteem or have lost their personalities and when you lose your personality you lose a whole lot.

I would begin by say any nation without a root is like a tree without a root. Af-ra-kans problem is the so called Religion. We are now professing our enemy believe so why not accept bleaching when every story in the Bible is about white. In the their Bible God is white and so do the angels. Anything white is perfect whilst black represent bad. We should go back and fetch what we lost. We are the primordial essence of time. Every color on this planet emanate from black. Black is Divine!!!

(1) MAKE IT SOCIALLY UNACCEPTABLE. PUBLIC OFFICIALS MUST SPEAK AGAINST IT. PEOPLE WHO HAVE BLEACHED THEIR SKINS SHOULD BE ISOLATED (E.G. IN 'MISS GHANA' PAGEANTS, IT MUST BE PROCLAIMED THAT WOMEN WITH BLEACHED SKINS WON'T BE ALLOWED TO TAKE PART AS CONTESTANTS). MEN SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED TO REJECT, AS ROMANTIC PARTNERS, WOMEN WHO HAVE BLEACHED THEIR SKINS (SUCH WOMEN STINK!).
(2) BAN THE IMPORTATION OF SKIN-BLEACHING CREAMS
(3) ALTERNATIVELY, RAISE THE IMPORT DUTY ON SUCH CREAMS BY 100,000% OR MORE. A TUBE SHOULD NOT SELL FOR LESS THAN GHC500.
(4) PUBLICLY REVEAL THE DANGERS OF THE PRACTICE TO THESE SCUMBAG USERS OF SKIN-BLEACHING CREAMS, MOST OF WHOM HAVE LESS INTELLIGENCE THAN A COCKROACH!

Kwarteng,

When you write Part 2, make sure that you don't present it like a plethora of class notes, which is what this one is. Although the topic is important, what you have presented here is similar to a hodgepodge of classroom notes meant for a more organized article at a later date.

For example, shouldn't you tell your readers who Susan Maxwell is?
