[@DLF-xq9lq]

Years ago, I had a good friend who just happened to be very pale naturally. We went to the park with our kids and noticed other mothers that we'd previously seen only with their makeup on. The women had obvious sun damage. For reasons, I don't understand, those women started mocking in a passive aggressive way my friend for being so pale and told her she needed to tan. When they left, I told my friend to ignore them because her skin was beautiful. Weirdly when I tried to defend my friend and brought up sun damage as a consequence of over tanning, one of the women angrily asked me if she had damaged her skin. Like what was I going to say? "Girl, you're 26 and already wrinkled like a raisin." No, I didn't say that. LOL

[@reysquadron7820]

Looking at how she appears so different from those who fake tan or spray tan, I wondered if these injections basically increase your skins melanin so that when you do get exposed to sun or UV your skin reacts and looks like someone with a darker skin color. So it really does make her look like she is black. Can't be without side effects.

In biology class way back in highschool, I remember talking about DNA, and looking at the dna chain, and cancer got brought up (dna, genetics, etc) and basically, If someone got cancer in your family, and didn’t do anything to modify their DNA chain, it’s genetic, and can be passed down to further generations. But, also, smoking, drugs, chemicals, all those things can modify your DNA chain and cause cancer, so if it runs in your family you’re prone and can actually be tested to see if you have the “code” in your DNA, and if it doesn’t run in your family you have to be careful about like what chemicals, and things you have in your day to day life.

Melatonin is what you take to sleep. You meant melanin. That's the chemical every human being makes when the cell releases it as a response to uv.

It’s different from a tan white girl because people of color have been constantly criticized for looking a certain way, but we cannot just take off our color or culture, while those same people who criticize us can just put it on. I have no problem with this people tanning, but somebody’s race is not a trend.

Cancer isn't totally genetic but there is a genetic predisposition to various forms of cancer.

I always see these “tan” girls randomly on tiktok

[@off2funnyworld]

lol the lady who “changed” her race was a political figure where I live, in Spokane WA. Nkechi Amare Diallo (born Rachel Anne Dolezal). She was president of our NAACP and worked as a black rights activist (WHILE PRETENDING TO BE BLACK) She was caught when her PARENTS actually called her out on media/news. There were several news stories and interviews and it might be interesting to watch if you wanted to, Ken. It’s pretty hilarious/stupid. She has since “stepped down” from her position. That woman had some audacity. 😂

I once saw a tattoo artist cover skin discoloration on people that have vitiligo with brown ink...i mean, if you want to be that dark why not make it permanent with ink, its definitely safer for them.

As someone who used to be addicted to tanning for many different reasons. I started when I became an x- dancer. Which because I wore a Brazilian bikini bottom while tanning (which gives the illusion of a smaller butt) D.J’s in the clubs used to joke about being able to read a book in the dark next to my white butt. I continued to tan very heavily into my late 30-early 40’s. It covers up any flaws you have on your body, like cellulite or stretch marks. I tanned so much my husband & I purchased 3 salons here in Winnipeg. Then I don’t know what happened I guess I got to busy with working & doing lash extensions that I would only power tan for vacation’s. I’ve sold my studio’s due to Covid & have a tanning bed in my home but rarely use it. When I do I only tan my face for max 5-10 minutes. Cover it cause all the 30 years has made my face wrinkly & I get Botox regular & every couple of years filler. I want to slap people like this cause I know the damage. Not to mention her eyes open. Eyewear is so important. It’s regulated now. I suffer from night blindness driving from early years of not having to wear eyewear. Your eyelids are the thinnest & your ruining your sight. My salons were regulated on how long a person could tan & our max was 25 minutes. They would have to start at 6-8 minutes & work their way up to not burn & get skin cancer. Cause the sunburn is what initially gives you skin cancer. I guess I’ve slowed down because I haven’t vacationed since 2020 & some of my customers would nauseate me about begging to be able to tan longer. It took me having strict rules & learning the effects to stop my own addiction to it. Edit: some of her tan would have to be bronzer as well. I got dark but no one gets that dark.

[@seadragon1456]

I’m so scared of the damage I may have caused. I grew up being fried at least once by the sun every summer. Then when I turned 17 I tanned in a tanning bed At least a few times a month I don’t even remember. I stopped sometime after turning 18.5 I do remember a couple burns from the bed that would make me itchy and flaky for a few days tho. 😭 I’m almost thirty and I don’t see the damage yet but I feel so stup!d. I just wanted to be pretty and bronzed up when I was younger.

[@crappyaccount]

big yikes but at least you stopped somewhat

[@katrinaingram7871]

Only ones I've seen get tht dark are ones who are already darker than white because of their genetics...I also think if the person lived near the equator their generations of family would naturally get darker because of the adapting to the sun

[@Teknotion]

Crazy thing is, she sounds Irish. The Irish aren't known for their natural tan. Edit - Mental note: Wait for the video to play out before commenting. Lol.

[@jollyrot3145]

“Cancer strikes me as genetic” I’ll be the first to tell you it wasn’t genetic for me, no one in my family has ever battled cancer, I did at 21. Pretty sure mine was caused by all the carcinogens in fast food, I used to eat it a lot during a period of my young life 😟 now 37, I’ve long been in remission, but there is plenty in life to give you cancer, this tanning will do the trick 🥺

I've got way too many of my own problems, to worry about some rando accused of trying to be a different race. If you care to be offended, you have way too much time on your hands and need a hobby. Who gives a shit what someone else is doing (if it's not hurting anyone else)...

She's 100% trying to be a black girl. I just looked through her Instagram (after seeing the two hairstyles she chose to wear in the photos from the video), and there's no way.

[@Sunnyydaisyy]

Who cares.

[@NebulaKat345]

​@@Sunnyydaisyy Please. People making a damn storm over Halle Bailey being Ariel and we can't be uncomfortable about this. You definitely white.

@@Sunnyydaisyy You cared enough to comment how much you don't care. Girl, go take a bubble bath or some shit. Lol All I did was make a passing observation. I never once gave any of my opinions, but apparently you care, seeing as how you also commented on someone else's comment about it. Don't start an argument with me because I didn't say shit in the way of right or wrong. I got curious and drew a conclusion.

[@brezzychill2424]

@@Sunnyydaisyy I care as a poc girl. You don't know what it's like to deal with racism or being called slurs because of the color of your skin. My ppl have had to fight for years for freedom and acceptance. Our hairstyles our fashion mocked because of race. Yet when she a white person wears our history and our identity as a trend or as a fad she's praised for it because it makes her feel 'good'.

[@Sunnyydaisyy]

@@brezzychill2424 you don’t know anything about me. I grew up with MANY slurs living in multicultural CA lmao. Y’all wish we didn’t see skin color yet you’re always the first ones who bring it up. This woman has a tanning addiction pretty obvious it has nothing to do with you being black. Just stop.

I see a lot of girls so tanned that if you cover their head, you would think they are black. We got black girls trying to lighten their skin and white girls trying to get dark. What is wrong with people! This lady has clearly also had her lips done which adds to the “black look”. 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@CherrrrBear]

The tanning injections have been talked about on channels like Robert Welsh’s channel beauty turned ugly and it’s very bad for you and can be dangerous! This is an extreme example too, horrible!

The sad thing is the way she talks is like questioning 80% of the knowledge she have so far about everything.

12:11 It's true tho that a person who is healthy, eats a balanced diet, doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, doesn't do tanning beds, etc. can still have cancer. There are also some people in their 80s who smoked daily but doesn't have lung cancer. There are so many factors involving cancer that you'll never be certain if you will not have it. The advise to not smoke is rooted in precautions and preventions.

Melanotan works by stimulating the body's production of melanin. This effects skin and hair colour. The effects reverse once the subject stops taking the drug. The drug is not approved in the US, UK or EU and can be dangerous.

Side-effects include darkened skin, increased moles and freckles, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, flushing of the face, involuntary stretching and yawning, and *spontaneous erections* .

[@kathywrightjohnson6804]

You know it makes me glad I was born in the 60's. I am also glad I never went against the grain when it came to fashion and trending hair dos. But being in my fifties, I'm glad there is no evidence of the contrary in my photo albums. I'm also glad I was born before the internet and social media. I wonder if these kids these days will look back on their lives fifty years from now, will hang their heads in shame. These folks are out there!

[@_stfubroskii]

I’ll never understand how people could ever enjoy tanning.

[@Aprilwoodz]

Today is my birthday 🎉 waited a whole year to be able to hear it from your channel

[@DriedVix]

As a black person. I honestly don't find this offensive. It's kinda sad moreso, like when asain or black people bleach their skin to look lighter. But if it makes them happy and they're not hurting anyone, who the heck am I say don't do it? I'm not a traditionalist so I enjoy true originality. She looks good and it's probably fun to see peoples faces when she tells them she's not black. I would definately get a kick out of it.

[@jamie_leigh_clarence]

I get why ppl think she’s changing race by her choice of hair styles, lotta braids n what looks like wigs. She doesn’t seem to be doing anyone harm but herself tho :(

[@totallyrealspiderman]

it's because people are always looking for a reason to be mad or be sorry for themselves. Personally, I blame Twitter. The health risks are the only real issue here imo. Hope she finds more confidence in her natural self before it's too late🙏

[@Toomuchbullshitt]

I agree. People just overreact and love drama (I’m looking at you Twitter, Reddit, and Buzzfeed). But also that may lead to irreversible wrinkles and leather skin in the long run or melanoma if kept up.

[@Wolf_Night]

She says she's not trying to switch race like people believe, that she just likes to be tanned. Yet, I cannot say that I've seen someone get surgery to make their nose larger and thicker. Most people want the nose that she had naturally, they don't typically go bigger. Then there's her lips, but pretty much everyone gets lip injections now. As well as her hair and of course her skin. Leave it to a white person to want to switch race physically, without understanding the implications behind doing so. As well as the privilege to be in a position to never have to go through what a black individual has to, just on the basis of their skin colour.

[@michaeladams6847]
