The problem is that, throughout history, Blacks have been made to feel inferior to every other race. No other race in human history has been as detested, despised or as horribly treated. And it was all on the basis of skin color. Thus, a black person who admittedly wishes he was of another race is viewed by other Blacks as being in fundamental denial of who he is and where he came from on a very basic level, as well as having self-loathing and abhorrence for his own person. Most importantly, it is the most hurtful and damaging of betrayals, because it makes it seem as though – after enduring centuries of slavery, abuse, and being second-class citizens – the racists have been right all along: we really are inferior. After all, everybody wants to be on the winning team; nobody models themselves after losers. As intrigued as I am to be privy to the logic and thought processes that culminated in your desire to be of another race, I will avoid delving into those areas and simply try to respond to your unwritten question, which I construe as you wanting to know how to become white. As government officials explained it to me, no one can tell you what race you are; they can only tell you your ethnic background. In other words, you pick your race, so if you want to be white – *abracadabra!* – you’re white! Nevertheless, you will still be of African descent, and that is a fact that will not change. Your post, however, seems to indicate that you want to become white in a more discernible manner – specifically, at the ocular level. There are two basic options: 1) Skin bleaching. This method, however, is usually used to even out skin tones by eliminating dark spots, such as freckles or liver spots. I suppose you could, a la Michael Jackson, do an all-body bleaching, but there can be side-effects. 2) Full-body skin graft, if you can find a donor, find a skillful quack to do the operation (because it is a major undertaking which no rational physician would do purely for cosmetic reasons, even with today’s technology) and are comfortable running the risk of tissue rejection (in which case you could possibly end your days working in a carny sideshow next to the Bearded Lady and Bobo the Dog-Faced Boy). I don’t know you, so I hesitate to make any judgments, but it seems to me that the core question here is this: Do you really want to be white, or do you really hate being black?
