Jamaican dancehall star Spice calls out the hypocrisy of people who discriminate against dark skinned women in her new music video “Black Hypocrisy”.
Many in the Black community say Spice is a hypocrite for bleaching her own skin, but her light skin is just an illusion created with makeup and lighting.
The Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta star calls out dark skinned sistas who use potent medications and skin creams to strip out their melanin so they can fit society’s standard of beauty.
The video begins with Spice speaking at a meeting for B.L.A.C.K. women. The acronym B.L.A.C.K. stands for:
Beautiful
Lovely
Attractive
Courageous
Kind
Spice goes on to sing in her native Patois language:
-
I was told I would reach further
If the color of my skin was lighter,
And I was made to feel inferior
‘Cause society say brown girls prettier
Me love the way me look
Me love me pretty Black skin
Respect due to me strong melanin
Proud a me color,
Love the skin that I’m in
[Burn] racism, demolish colorism
