American culture itself is white-centric. For example, as an African-American woman, I can rarely find makeup that matches my exact skin tone. Though cosmetics companies have gotten a lot better at adding more diverse colors to their lines, I still most often have to buy two shades and mix them together to get a match.

Truly a heartbreaking tale of repression.

How about a gofundme account for victims of makeup oppression?

Cosmetic Company CEO Options:

• Spend limited product development budget on products that would appeal to more than 60% of the population

• Or on products that would appeal to only 13% of the population

I hate to tell her this but the same thing happens to white girls but I guess she is so racist she can’t tell shades of pale apart.

(BTW, I am probably old enough to be this racist’s grandmother, and I have had to do this for years.)

She should try googling “makeup for black women”. That will help her.

I’m weeping as I read.

Oh the horror!

And totally false, as is every Leftist narrative. Madame CJ Walker became America's first self-made female millionaire (black or white) by creating and marketing makeup for black women. This was in 1900-1919, a century ago.
