The former MLB player revealed, in a 2009 interview, that he began using bleaching cream before bed. “It’s a cream that I have, that I use to soften [my skin], but has bleached me some,” he said. “I’m not a racist, I live my life happily. What happened was that I had been using the cream for a long time and that, combined with the bright TV lights, made my face look whiter than it really is. I don’t think I look like Michael Jackson.”
Well, the world thinks otherwise. It didn’t take long for the Internet to chime in on social media.
The affects of colorism are so profound. We hope Sosa gets some mental help because this is extreme and indicative of a deeper issue.
