    [PLEASE HELP] Serious Question - Are black people less likely to get skin cancer?

    FAO Mods, before you get all defensive and shit please know that this is not a racist baiting thread. please ignore Larry’s request to ban me.

    Darker skin tones have more melanin than lighter ones, meaning they’re better protected from the sun. But melanin isn’t immune to all UV rays, so there’s still some risk.

    I just want to understand from my black brothers who live in nice warm countries (because I don’t) how often (if at all) do you get sunburned?

    I have read that in the last year about 13 percent of black women and 9 percent of men have been sunburnt. However in the last year almost 66 percent of white women and just over 65 percent of white men - that’s a big difference georges.

    Thanks.

    It's simple. Stay out of the sun or use sunscreen.
    Slip, slop slap.

        Yes.


        Why do you think black people have darker skin?

        It is not a coincidence you know.

        The darker you are the less chance you have to get it.

          That is what the CIA want you to think.

          And Bob was very light skinned.

            1. Bob Marley is half white (light skin)

            2. Some old CIA guy, on his death bed, admitted to killing Bob Marley. Said he used some poison needle placed in his shoes.

                    I thought skin cancer was only a white person thing?
