Κορίτσια μιμούνται στα social media το μοντέλο που πάσχει από λεύκη

Η Chantelle έχει μια πάθηση του δέρματος που ονομάζεται λεύκη και λόγω της οποίας τμήματα του δέρματός της είναι λευκά, ενώ το υπόλοιπο δέρμα της είναι σκούρο. 

Η Chantelle έχει ανοίξει εντελώς την ψαλίδα των προτύπων ομορφιάς, δείχνοντας πως το διαφορετικό είναι όμορφο. Και έτσι, βρήκε σύντομα πολύ κόσμο που την αγάπησε και την πίστεψε. Πολλά κορίτσια λοιπόν βάφουν το πρόσωπό τους όπως είναι το δικό της φυσικό δέρμα και φωτογραφίζονται. Αυτό προκάλεσε σχόλια από πολλούς, όμως η ίδια λέει πως αυτό δείχνει πως απλώς αποδέχονται την ομορφιά της.

😴😴 never been called such derogatory slurs so repetitively.. By the the same people trying to nail me, but sound pretty backward with words of "coon" "white washed bitch" "brain washed nigga"... Actually sound stupid as hell with "she's not even really black" 😐 what is it called when your mother and father are Black..? Sigh. The point here is Not to make it seem that Blackface is okay, or act like our people haven't gone through hell and back to then have things from our culture be stolen. #BlackLivesMatter This is Very true. But This situation has nothing to do with blacks or whites. All races have recreated the pattern of my skin and when they did it, it was complimented and glorified. This is Not appropriation, go look up the definition real quick! And it barely has anything to do with Vitiligo to be honest. People bash my fans who get my face tattooed on their bodies. It's not actually about me or anyone else. It's about a feeling I've created, and what I represent to whoever draws me, tattoos me or recreates my look (regardless of race!). It's about the hope the pattern of my skin represents to THEM, it's You who places a negative on it. It's the representation of not being afraid to be proud of who you are not just a "disease" as you so disablingly call it. I know my history. If you know ANY black Canadian you would know we all know our roots and are proud of where we're originally from. But we also don't live in the past. We are in the present creating a new future and even if it's a slow progression we're having, why can't we continue? Our ancestors didn't go through bullshit their whole lives for us to sit here and stay bitter or hoard our culture. The fight was never to Keep us segregated. It was to allow us to come together. So while a Lot of things in this world are wrong (and No I don't support "Blackface"), a lot of things, including many intentions, are pure. Use common sense (and the definition...) to know the difference of appreciation and appropriation. Alright mi done talk!! Unno cyan gwan now and flip my words however u please 😎👑✌🏾 #1Love
