Sammy Sosa looks like he is bleaching his skin!

Why does it matter if Sosa is purposely trying to lighten his skin or not? Most people would not think it was odd or "wrong" for a light-skinned person to slather on tanning lotion and lay out in the sun to achieve a darker skin tone. So why isn't it ok for dark-skinned people to lighten their skin if they want to? It's just skin color. Many factors can cause skin lightening to occur. As a kid, my skin used to turn a golden tan when I went out in the sun. After I went through puberty, my skin changed to very pale and I could not get a tan no matter how hard I tried. Instead I would get very bad sunburns instead and my skin is still that way. So, you see, sometimes these changes in skin color occur naturally and can't always be blamed on the use of steroids or topical creams. I do not claim to know about Sosa's situation. His skin color may have changed due to the steroids or to a cream, or due to natural changes in his body. I can't really understand why it matters so much to people that his skin color has changed.

I agree with you here. he is trying to hide the fact that he took steroids. This is a guy trying to change his looks. it is shame and what about his family what do they think of it. If he has children what is telling them that his color is wrong? Not a good message for young children who look up too him. I wish he turn it around and help the less forunate like setting up a clinic to help girls and boys learn about the game of baseball etc. I hope he does not turn out like Michael Jackson years down the road.
