An old advert from America that portrayed white skin and hair as better than that of Black people has surfaced and is causing a great stir.
The video was sighted by YEN.com.gh on the official social media handle of Falla In Versace. The account published the video with the tag:
This is an ad in the 1970s. Black women being told dark skin & kinky hair is ugly & lighter skin & straight hair is beautiful. The self hat3 has been passed on from generation to generation.
Any black woman who wears a weave/wig or straightens her hair & bleaches hat3s herself.

In the advert, Black women were captured in very sad moods, painting the picture that they did not like how they were looking and needed a solution.
A male voice in the background then speaks about the solution the Black women need, assuring them of getting a lovelier and lighter skin by using the products.
Some followers hurriedly reacted after watching the video.

Prince of Pistons sought to explain why the ad like that was made in the first place:
Agenda
Step 1 Make them feel ugly and hateful of their own being
Step 2; create products to rectify that "ugliness"
Step 3; Now cash in

In other news, a young man has been captured in a viral video visiting the ATM to withdraw money without a shirt on with only a towel around his waist.
It is not clear what motive he had to pull up the rather unusual costume to such a wildly visited area but whatever it was, he must have had great courage to carry out the act.
Whilst many other people would have been too shy to visit such a public place showing their bare chest, the young man, on the other hand, found no trouble at all.
