Ramadan: Why Is His Mother So Obsessed With Skin Color?

I don’t get it. I think all skin tones are beautiful and I was raised not to judge accordingly. I was just randomly talking to my fiance about skin color… he’s told me before how his mother and his sister use skin whitening creams…. so I asked him what would she do if you brought home a girl who was very dark complex-ed.
He said… she would flip out and say to him that since he’s not “light” his children would be “dark” and would not accept it…
I Know a lot of parents talk like this… but do people actually realize how sick it sounds…
and considering his family isn’t that “light” it sounded he STUPIDER

  1. Yeah, some people have no respect for themselves…just a clear indication of an inferiority complex. Ironically, the ones with a darker complexion have better skin (due to higher secretion of melanin in their bodies).
    You know, some crows love to dress up in peacock feather…. there couldn’t be a more classic example of that idiom!

  2. alot of arabs are like that when i travel to egypt or morocco there always touching me saying i love white skin. Strange but alot of people are like that.. ive got an english friend who got married recently and wow did she get attention for being english, wearing hijab and beautiful..

  3. wow that is ridiculous, but his mother might have grown up surrounded by family members who told her that SHE was too dark, so maybe its sorta like a nature vs. nurture kinda thing
    anyways thats really stupid what she said, but as long as he isnt the same as her then you should still love him
    question: why does your question have Ramadan in it? what does that have to do with the question.. :S

  4. Yep, the obsession some people have with skin colour is absolutely disgraceful and utterly disgusting.
    I cannot stand people like that, I swear they make my blood boil!
    Not only is it totally unislamic, it’s plain racist too.
    My guess is that they have psychological issues/inferiority complexes in their minds.
    They need to see a shrink ha.
    May Allah SWT guide us all =]

  5. Yeah.
    It’s pretty sad. Ironically, I had a conversation with my cousin about this yesterday. Disgusting.

  6. lolzz it does sound stupid but i find ppl of different race beautiful. I personally believe that beauty has ntg to do with just the skin color. Its about everything!

  7. *sigh*
    its a sad truth
    many are like that
    especially in the east
    if ur fair and go to pakistan everyone [literally everyone] will stare at you

  8. I seriously hate people like that. They think only beautiful people are light-skinned.
    That’s un-Islamic and she should see a therapist.

  9. Islam is color blind.
    These so called Muslims are ignorant

  10. that means u r ugly or he doesnt care much about you.

  11. I guess everybody wants what they can’t have. (Well, not EVERYBODY. That saying isn’t ALWAYS true)
    It’s just that people these days don’t say “Alhamdulillah” or thank Allah. Look around you, why is there so much fasaad (imbalance) in the world?
    Why are there so many environmental problems, so many wars, so many famines and sickness?
    It’s because of you. Yes, you. And me, and the rest of man.
    Allah says:
    “Evil has appeared on land and sea because of what the hands of men have earned, that He (Allah) may make them taste a part of that which they have done, in order that they may return. (30:41)
