Rep. Ilhan Omar on Why She's Fighting the Multi-Billion Dollar Skin-Whitening Industry

, a nonprofit that aims to end skin-lightening practices, has worked on this issue for decades, pushing for state and federal reform. Because of activists like her, who have vocalized the importance of this issue, we have made meaningful strides on the state and federal levels. In Minnesota, we appropriated funds through the Minnesota Department of Health for a grant program to raise awareness of the health effects of these products.

Because she is a Black Supremacist. That's right. No concern for the lighter skinned folk that utilize tanning salons. Or spend too much time in the Sun, risking over exposure and increasing the risk of skin cancer.

IlhanMN IIlyhan may I take a chit? Please advise

IlhanMN That’s a lie she has made up to raise money ! It’s the skin darkening industry that’s big (suntan lotion)

IlhanMN Sounds like her typical shit, fighting for stuff people VOLUNTARILY do. Nobody is forcing this down their throat.

IlhanMN Skin whitening is a thing?

IlhanMN She must not have much to do with her time.

IlhanMN Because she hates white people the racists little tramp!

A democrat thinking they know what’s best for other people. How novel 🙄

IlhanMN If people want to look a certain way, that's their choice. Others should stop telling them how tan/brown skin complexions are beautiful. Many people go for change because that's what they want for themselves.

IlhanMN This is rampant in India. It's absolutely disgusting. Dark or light skin colour, it's all beautiful.

IlhanMN Fuck you Cosmopolitan! People STILL HAVE A CHOICE. This is someone business! Mind your own!

IlhanMN talk about anything and everything Meanwhile - Over 471,000 (and counting) Americans dead and STILL no Healthcare for All of US Good Morning Taxpayers

IlhanMN With you on this. We are way beyond the time when we should be embracing our blackness, rather than feeling ashamed because of our melanin.

rafaeltrigo44 Symbolism for black Americans. There are more dire options.

IlhanMN Who gives a shit what people do to their own skin

IlhanMN If it’s unhealthy the FDA should review and pull it as a service/ product. If it’s not unhealthy, it’s then up to individuals to choose what they want for themselves.

IlhanMN Growing number of countries echo U.S. warnings about Chinese espionage and influence via Yahoo

IlhanMN

IlhanMN Meanwhile the $15 per HR MW is dead and no stimulus for those in need. Skin whitening studys must be more important. The sheep will follow.

IlhanMN Skin whitening causes not only serious physical skin damage but also psycological damage. One has to hate to negate oneself to do that.

IlhanMN WHy she even putting energy towards that right now idk, next it will be against botox .. but we still here like ummm wtf

IlhanMN What? I don't get it.

IlhanMN ✊🤣

IlhanMN its not like governments are ordering people to buy this stuff. People themselves need to examine why they do so. the companies aren't creating the demand in other words

IlhanMN OK,,,um,,first question!--There is a Multi-Million Dollar Skin-Whitening Industry?😲🤦‍♂️

IlhanMN Brown is quite beautiful! So is Back and beige and yellow and red and pink and beige and all the different skin colors.

IlhanMN

IlhanMN Better not focus on any real issues eh?

IlhanMN Start in India, where the code word is 'fair.'

IlhanMN M4A?

IlhanMN More control over people huh Ilan

IlhanMN Just allow children of color to leave failing public schools. Doing well academically will give them the confidence boost they need.

IlhanMN It's obvious, it's because people did things.

IlhanMN Omg. It’s people’s choice. Not yours.

IlhanMN White skin is beautiful.

IlhanMN Teeth whitening I understand. Skin whitening no. You were made the way you are supposed to be. Black, white, brown, whatever your skin color; you are beautiful. Love yourself.

IlhanMN It spans more cultures than you think. I was dating a Latina woman once, very dark skinned with lineage from Mexican Indians and she plastered on that crap daily.

IlhanMN What products are those. by name? Is she saying that people that want their skin lighter, for whatever their personal reason, should not have the right to get them? It sounds like that would be a freedom she is trying to strip from people. What gives her the right?

IlhanMN Black coffee, no sugar, no cream That's the kind of girl I need down with my team

IlhanMN It's a huge business in India especially, where racism is rampant and it needs to stop!

IlhanMN That's racist to suggest that changing your skin tone/color is 'bad'
