Just recently there was a story, and I know one of your attorneys held a news conference.
2
There was a story about you wanting to have a little white boy play you in a Pepsi commercial.
3
That is so stupid.
4
That's the most ridiculous, horrifying story I've ever heard.
5
It's crazy.
6
I mean, why?
7
Number one, it's my face as a child in the commercial, me when I was little.
8
Why would I want a white child to play me?
9
I'm a black American.
10
I'm proud to be a black American.
11
I am proud of my race.
12
I am proud of who I am.
13
I have a lot of pride in who I am and dignity.
14
That's like you wanted an oriental person to play you as a child.
15
Does that make sense?
16
No. So please, people, stop believing these horrifying stories.
17
Then let's go to the thing that is most discussed about you, I think, is the fact that the color of your skin is obviously different than it was when you were younger.
18
And so I think it has caused a great deal of speculation.
19
and controversy as to what you have done or are doing.
20
Are you bleaching your skin?
21
And is your skin lighter because you don't like being black?
22
Okay, number one, there, as I know of, there is no such thing as skin bleaching.
23
I have never seen it.
24
I don't know what it is.
25
Well, they used to have those products growing up.
26
I used to hear, always use bleach and glow, but you'd have to have about 300 ,000 gallons.
27
Okay, number one, this is the situation.
28
I have a skin disorder that destroys the pigmentation of the skin is something
29
that i cannot help okay but when people make up stories
30
that i don't want to be who i am it hurts me
31

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
