    Because it's popular and they like the style 


    You really think they are looking in the mirror saying damn I wish I was white, if I dye my hair maybe I can fool people...  Sad, lame, and boring.

    Sammy Sosa he says. Are we going to cite Michael Jackson too as an example as well to capture the alleged tsunami of blacks dying their skin white?

    Sammy Sosa is not even black. He's Dominican. 'Hispanic' is an ethnicity, not a race as the US Census Bureau explains here . 

    The Hispanic ethnicity is comprised of several races, thereby necessitating a separate classification. Of course, people like yourself, that is, people who seem to be confused about an extreme minority who are wearing contact lenses or dying their hair to stand out, like any race or ethnicity does, like to think this is some sort of national race issue where blacks want to look white because they admire them, or at a minimum, be exposed to the privilege whites currently enjoy. 

    Outwardly, you like to portray yourself as confused, or amused by the 'blacks trying to be whites' trend (which has been debunked above anyhow). By inwardly, you actually have the same fears legions of prejudiced whites have had throughout history; that is, your race will be watered down and corrupted if imitated or 'inter-reproduced'.  

    Spitfire said it best. STFU.

    Must be bigger in England.

    I will not STFU as you quiet eloquently put it, My freedom of speech entitles me to an opinion and this is the world wide web not Nigeria or Sudan or wherever you call motherland, I will say what i want, when i want and where i want. 

    Oh and thanks for the lecture on the Hispanic race i was not aware of that. 

    Now GTFOH, See your not the only one who can abbreviate.

    Sammy Sosa is not even black. He's Dominican. 'Hispanic' is an ethnicity, not a race as the US Census Bureau explains here . 

    The Hispanic ethnicity is comprised of several races, thereby necessitating a separate classification. Of course, people like yourself, that is, people who seem to be confused about an extreme minority who are wearing contact lenses or dying their hair to stand out, like any race or ethnicity does, like to think this is some sort of national race issue where blacks want to look white because they admire them, or at a minimum, be exposed to the privilege whites currently enjoy. 

    Outwardly, you like to portray yourself as confused, or amused by the 'blacks trying to be whites' trend (which has been debunked above anyhow). By inwardly, you actually have the same fears legions of prejudiced whites have had throughout history; that is, your race will be watered down and corrupted if imitated or 'inter-reproduced'.  

    Spitfire said it best. STFU.

    I will not STFU as you quiet eloquently put it, My freedom of speech entitles me to an opinion and this is the world wide web not Nigeria or Sudan or wherever you call motherland, I will say what i want, when i want and where i want. 

    Oh and thanks for the lecture on the Hispanic race i was not aware of that. 

    Now GTFOH, See your not the only one who can abbreviate.

    How do I say this?  There isn't much variance in how a black person looks.  There is much more of an attempt to stand out with colorful, loud clothes.  This hair & eye deal is just another attempt to differentiate, or image themselves away from what they are, black.  So, before Scalabrine gets a woody from my post, it's just an observation that I've noticed as fact over the years.

    You clearly weren't aware that Sammy Sosa (i.e. Then why do some blacks bleach there skin aka Sammy Sosa??)  was Hispanic which prompted my explanation about ethnicity and race. You fell into the classic trap of assigning the person in question to the lowest racial hierarchal position ('lowest" being perceived of course) because of his darker skin tone.   

    STFU was too strong. Say whatever you please. The most disagreeable opinion ensures all opinions will be heard. 

    But note, be prepared to adequately defend your argument when countering viewpoints are presented (something you have not done here), especially when you start a thread like this.

    Seems like this thread hit a nerve, that was not my intention at all it was merely a thread posing the question why do black celebrities and black fashion force it upon the black race to think they have to look white?

    Since we all know celebrities influence fashion among the youth I have made a list of black celebrities that have dyed there hair blonde and worn contact lenses:-

    Soulja Boy,
    Beyonce,
    Nicky Minaj,
    Rihanna,
    Chris Brown,
    Lil Kim,
    Kerry Hilson,
    Wiz Khalifa etc

    Those are 8 current mega black superstars right there both male and female who have a thing for "looking white", find me more than 3 big time white celebrities of have even tried to look a different race of any kind and i will change my name to Bob. Beyonce has even been accused by her own race that she hates being black and is a self hater. 

    The recent craze among black youths in England to dye there hair blonde and wear blue/green eye contacts can be blamed on the above mentioned celebrities. So my final question is...If a white person trying to be black has a name i.e. Wigga, how comes everyone turns a blind eye to black people trying to be white? Should we not come up with a name for them as well?

    Blacker? (Black + Cracker)

    Kinda defeats the purpose though doesn't it? especially if the challenge is to become whiter.

    Hmm, ok, back to the drawing board.

    The thread hit a nerve for its ignorance.

    It has already been pointed out to you that many celebrities, and people in general, tan, which could be viewed as trying to be more 'black.' 

    But this is completely dismissed on your part because it is contrarian to your argument. 

    You are trying to convince us blue contact lenses and dyed blond hair are distinctly 'white.' 

    It is common for celebrities to be eccentric in personality and style. It is inherent in their profession. Different color contact lenses, hair dye, make-up, clothing, attitude and every other aspect of their person is typically accentuated and at times, outrageous, simply because it attracts attention and separates them from their fan-base. They want to be admired by their fans while maintaining a significant distinction. If Lady Gaga decides to wear Old Navy clothing and no make-up for the rest of her career, she will quickly disappear.  

    I love how you somehow allow whites to take 'ownership' of blue eyes, as though it's something to be desired or attained by those who don't have it. Blue eyes are much rarer amongst humans in general and blue is no better an eye color than brown or black or green. Perhaps in your world it is more beautiful, but to many others it is just another color in the spectrum.

    Somehow this causes you to believe black celebrities want to be 'white' because they use different color contact lenses during public appearance. 


     
    Celebrities from now, till the end of time, will always differentiate themselves. This doesn't even speak to the tens of thousands of black celebrities you failed to mention that wholly embrace their alleged 'blackness.'
     
    You reveal an extraordinary amount of race hubris and exceptionalism that may be grounded in the fact you think your race is being 'corrupted' because it is being imitated. There could be a deep-seated fear you don't want your own race and culture being overtaken or mimicked by those who you deem to be of lower status, hence lowering your own social status along with it. It will take some personal introspection on your part to figure this out. Good luck.

    sammy sosa and most likely MJ didnt bleach their skin..they had vitiglio? or whatever that shit is called...some weird disorder,most likely caused by 'roids and copious drug use, that makes the skin look bleached.  
    they would rather make something up like "i bleached my fucking skin" then admit that they ruined their bodies by abusing all kinds of wacky substances.
    ps scalabrine ur an idiot
