Skin Rejunvenation or Bleach?: Sammy Sosa’s Skin
Nov 8th
Nothing criminal just bleachy. Folks have been commenting on the changing hue of baseball player Sammy Sosa’s face particularly on its ascension to five shades lighter on the color wheel. What gives?
And are those green contacts? (Picture on the far right)
Rebecca Polihronis, Sosa’s spokesperson said: “He’s not trying to be Michael Jackson. He is going through a rejuvenation process for his skin. Women have it all of the time. He was doing a dermatological skin process after years and years [of playing baseball] in the sun.”
I can’t.
I cannot.
I refuse to care, besides he’s not a YANKEE!

This is a heated, opinionated and thought-provoking…what do you think about Bill O’Reilly’s commentary on how the media and Black Americans are handling Michael Jackson’s death.
“Spending millions of dollars on himself while singing ‘We Are The World.”
Is this racist or racial?
The Debate
Marc Lamon Hill, Ph.D (Columbia University Professor of Education) vs. Bill O’Reilly.
@7:09 it gets really heated:
Bill:“Why is he being held up by the African American community as a pillar of Black America when he bleaches his skin?”
…
Bill:”Michael Jackson is a Black American and bleaches his skin, fine, but answer me this…If he is such a Black American icon why did he have his kids with white women.”
Marc: That’s a personal matter. That doesn’t make him any less Black. There is no Blackness meter here. You don’t become less Black when you have white kid”
Bill: “You don’t become an African American icon when you do something like that!”
Marc: ” No you become an African American icon for producing the greatest music, and being the greatest entertainer ever, for being an extraordinary humanitarian..that’s why
Bill: No you just become an American icon for that, not a Black American icon.
Marc:Oh that’s ridic.
Bill:You’re an American icon.
Marc:It’s not either or. He is an American idol (icon). He is quintessentially American but he is also undeniably black. You can’t take black from him just because he has white kids.
What do you think?
