    Curing The World Of Black People, One Pore At A Time

    You know black people are just white people with problem skin, right? (And hair!) I mean, just look at this ad from Sephora: Rx For Brown Skin. Finally, a cure for the pigment that plagues us! And over on Feministing, there's mention of a post on Racialicious called "Sorry! We don't have that in your color..." See, some makeup lines don't have tinted moisturizer darker than "beige." Because black people should probably go use a black people brand. Or something. Speaking of black people, did you know that they're uneducated? Especially the ones in Africa. The best way to spotlight this problem? Blackface! After the jump, check out an ad campaign for UNICEF created in the traditionally tolerant country of Germany.

    Text reads: "In Africa, kids don't come to school late, but not at all"
