They need to make band-aids that are the color of black people's skin, amirite?

I'm just wondering how they'd advertise them. "New! Band-aids for Negros!"

You know how they have the makeup for different skin tones? They could do these the same way.

Ha, I was just thinking that as I typed my comment. I still think it would be odd, though. "Band-aids for every skin color!" Yeah, I could see it, but I don't think people care what color their band-aids are. It's not like you're wearing them to beautify yourself as you are with make-up. You're wearing them to cover up a cut until it heals. Lipstick on a pig, ya know? :P

I imagined it something like a black woman looking at those bandages and being like "Wow! These are great! Now when I get in a bar fight and lose, nobody will know!" Then a guy's voice "Call (this number) in the next thirty minutes and we'll DOUBLE the offer and send you a KFC coupon!"

Dude... Black people don't get in bar fights that's white trailer trash. Black people get into fights at clubs.

At one point, there were different skin colored band-aids.

I actually dont really see what the problem is since band-aids dont really match the skin tone of white people anyways..

They were made for like, the two people on earth who have that skin tone.

I feel like things like that would tend to prolong racism rather than help it. It makes things more equal, but also more separate.

It's just a band-aid that would match your skin color. No different than foundation or concealor colors.

I don't care what colour bandaids are, just as long as they do their job.

I like princess band aids.

Why do you think Disney had to make a black princess?

We should just get rid of the "skin colored" band aids and all wear super hero band aids instead.

by Anonymous 11 years ago

Agreed. I just.....can we still wear the spongebob ones?

by Anonymous 11 years ago

Yes. That will be acceptable as well.

by Anonymous 11 years ago

The Snoopy ones, we can keep those too?

by Anonymous 11 years ago

Any fun characters or colors are acceptable.

This post reminded me how my box of Finding Nemo band-aids just ran out. A sad day indeed. :(

by Anonymous 11 years ago

Just get a colorful one. I don't think anyone would make those because it would appear to be dirty if it was not white.
