Melanoma Awareness

[yosoyaraguaney]

Is not the sun :(((((((((((((( I got a melanoma on the place were I had less sun.

[cjcool91]

@yosoyaraguaney Still any exposure to the sun or uv rays can lead to melanoma.

... for EQUALITY NOT SUPERIORITY.

[benking69]

... would be horrified by you. You attack others on the basis of the colour of their skin. They fought to show others that skin colour was NOT what made the person. Martin Luther King fought for EQUALITY NOT SUPERIORITY. Rosa Parks refused to move from her seat on the bus

[benking69]

And I did not say hippos avoid the sun because of burning. I said they avoid the sun. full stop. I am well aware why! But it still remains that they suffer ill effects from the sun if they don't keep wet. Most creatures have to take SOME refuge from the sun. You are as bad as any ill-informed, blind racist. I understand that some people would prefer to breed within their own races. Fine. I value my character over my skin colour anyway. The civil rights leaders that fought for YOUR freedoms.....

[benking69]

other with guns. By your logic surely that means Black peoples' genes are SOOOO weak that they are deleterious and kill themselves?? Or maybe you think they are SOOOO strong that they have to kill all the other genes to be successful? Hmmmm good strategy!! Ending up in jail or dead is REALLY superior LOLOLOL. Unlike you I am not a racist, but as you can see, anyone can argue from a flawed opinion base. Grow a brain

[benking69]

...... the skin tones of his/her parents. You thick fuck. We are ALL relatively recent in geological time. By your stupid logic, that means Africans are also weak as they cannot feed themselves. Also they pass HIV to each other and Africa has easily the highest prevalence of it. Perhaps if they grew brains and used the condoms which are sent there by europeans then they would slow the spread of HIV through Africa. And American Black men are more likely than any other American to kill each......

[benking69]

Again you demonstrate your stupidity. Have you noticed that mixed race people usually have a skin tone BETWEEN

[benking69]

How are there still such venomous, ignorant people in this world?! Unnatural devils??? you prikk! Yes, it's true that white people are FAR more susceptible to skin cancer. so?? It is also true that asians, particularly those from the Indian sub-continent are the most susceptible to sickle-cell anaemia. Just coz different ethnicities have certain susceptibilities & characteristics, doesn't make them unnatural nor does it make them devils.

[byrt1983]

IT DOES IN THE CASE OF THE WHITEMAN!our bodies are made to absorb sunlight NOT repel it!everything on earth lives in harmony with the SUN except you neanderthals!because of your weak white skin you have weaker bones than everybody,you die from skin cancer because of the SUN and thats the source of your reproductive problems!i call you un natural because YOU ARE nature didnt intend for your kind to be here because if it did you wouldnt have all the problems you have!MOTHER NATURE WANTS YOU DEAD

[benking69]

Did I say I was white? You're ignorant. Learn something about the selfish gene, you moron. Genes are what drives our evolution and we only survive to pass our genes on to the next generation. If mother nature wanted white people dead then they wouldn't be so biologically successful. Hippos and some other animals have to avoid direct sunlight because they too are susceptible to it. It is not just white people. I suggest you get a degree in zoology, as I have, before you try and argue your point.

[byrt1983]

I DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOUR DEGREE IN ZOOLOGY!AND NO YOU ARE NOT BIOLOGICALLY SUCESSFUL EITHER!the sun is not your friend and you know it.hippos dont avoid the sun they just keep wet so it doesnt dry out their skin Mr know it all!! have you seen the story on the albino hippo?he didnt make it because he wasnt dark and he developed skin problems the same way you do.whites are recent creations,so you cant compare yourself to animals that have been here way b4 you!TEMPORARY MUTATION(whiteman)LOL

[8888alouette888]

A classmate from Congo during my school years needed to use sunscreen even if she had a very black skin.

[byrt1983]

and mother nature does want you dead!!do you notice that whites cant reproduce outside of their small genepool without losing to a more DOMINANT GENE.you dont even soak up the proper nutrients from the SUN(giver of life)and that is un natural!!science says that white genes will be gone in about 50yrs so what do you feel about that?OH YEAH AND THE GENES YOU HAVE "ARE" THE weakest ON THIS PLANET SO I SUGGEST YOU STOP WITH THE INTER RACIAL MIXING AND PRACTICE INCEST LIKE WHEN YOU WERE IN THE CAVES!

[8888alouette888]

mother nature fucks you in the ass!

What about the illnesses in Africa? There is no superior race you fucking nazi

[ConstantC4]

cause 1: uv

cause 2: shitty chemicals everywhere

cause 3:bad pneonatal conditions

[YanksJets]

Its difficult & unrealistic to "stay out of the sun" but use sun block & dont go tanning. I had a skin cancer scare in 2008,thankfully the biospy on the mole was noncanerous but it was a torturous week of waiting and the doc said the mole indicates that im more susceptible to skin cancer than the average person. Now I have to go for full body checkups a few times a year because the doc said i have a few moles that "look funny" and he wants to keep a close eye on. This is no joke people.

[byrt1983]

damn i love being BLACK it feels good to know that u neandrethals r going extinct

[YanksJets]

Hey low life, black people can get skin cancer too. Either way, scum like you will get yours one way or another.

[byrt1983]

THE CASES WHERE BLACKS DID CONTRACT IT WAS IN THE PALMS AND SOLES OF FEET AND HANDS.dont put us in the weakling category with you,we have a natural protection from mother nature,if you watch animal planet it shows how lighter color species never survive because they are prone to more diseases because they mutated from original form.thats the case with crakkkaz, you guys are not a natural product of mother nature,so nature will do what it can to cleanse itself from unnatural things.WEAKLINGS

[tate0708]

YOU IDIOT! Bob Marley died of skin cancer...duh!

[byrt1983]

"There doctors verified that the singer had cancer in the brain, lung, and stomach. Eight months later, Marley passed away."

you see all you speak is propaganda!dont be trying to put black ppl in the same boat with you weaklings,common sense tells me that i dont have to worry about the sun killing me like it does you.just deal with the fact that you are inferior to the blackman!!LOL how can skin cancer start in your TOE?LOL did his toe get too much sun exposure??you dumb fuck!!

[tate0708]

ok jerk off... the cancer he had in the brain, lung and stomach was MELANOMA that metasized to those places....incase you dont understand what that means ...it means it spread from someplace else, yes his toe! And YES THE SAMPLE UNDER THE MICROSCOPE SHOWED MELANOMA SKIN CANCER! I am NOT interior to you. I am aware of the dangers of skin cancer. Obviously your stupid. Perhaps if you KNOW how to google you should do some research on blacks and melanoma before you speak.

[byrt1983]

how do you catch melanoma of the TOE you fucken idiot!! you are just trying to justify the fact that you want us in your weakling category,IT WONT HAPPEN!how can zero in on the TOE without affecting no place else?obviously it was a different type NOT contracted from the sun!DUHHHH!!

[tate0708]

Melanoma is a cancerous growth of melanocytes that produce melanin. The type of melanoma that typically affects the toenail is acral lentiginous melanoma. In the United States, acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM) accounts for about 5% of all diagnosed melanomas. It also is the most common form of melanoma in Asians and people with dark skin, accounting for 50% of melanomas that occur in people with these skin types

Good God! Go to some medical sites asshole and READ!

[byrt1983]

i never said we didnt get cancer!!i said that we are not as weak as you to be dying from the sun and shit!(SKIN CANCER)nobody knows for sure if black ppl contract it from the sun but we do know that crakkkaz catch it if their in the sun for more than 2hrs.THE SUN IS WHATS KILLING YOU PECKAWOODZ!AND IT DOESNT START IN YOUR TOE!IT STARTS WITH THE SUNBURN THAT YOU RECEIVE FROM TRYING TO LIVE OUTSIDE THE CAVE!! FACE TYHE FACT THAT YOU DONT BELONG IN OTHER PPLS TROPICAL AREAS!!!GGGOOOO HHHOOOMMMEEE!!

[Aznzzboi]

you're retarded.

Black skin is more resistant than light skin.

Melanin is a pigment that protects your body from harmful rays.

Go get some education racist fuck.

[Aznzzboi]

not only that.

You get Melanoma because of genetic defect.

Cellular division can have errors so you may produce too much melanin in different areas.

[AskariWaryaa]

Sicle cell aneamia is prevelant amongst certain ethnic groups in Africa. It is virtually non existent in Ethiopia, north Africa and neighbouring countries. It is also thought to prevent malaria.

Vitamin D deficiency is not common amongst only blacks, and infact a few minutes exposure to the sun is enough for most people of any colour.

Darker skin indeed does give a much better resistence, just think of topless people in the intense UV rays of Africa all of their lives.

[ToMbOyRoYaLtY]

I'm scared now. I'm gonna wear sunscreen everyday for now on..

[spankyquest]

lol, its funny cuz she has cancer

[bigbobsbbs]

what?? are you serious?

[ItalianWarrior777]

too many people abuse their skin, it's insane, everybody going to the beach and getting sunburned like there's no tomorrow..I used to be like that, I'm glad I've changed(after I got a few moles, I got scared, plus, I don't want to develop wrinkles!)

[grunfeld2312]

I agree. Tanning beds are also bad.

[ConstantC4]

My mother used to force me to do this since she thought it will treat my allergies ... never liked it always felt shitty after going to the beach etc... in the end I think I got much less sun then avg but I did get sunburn at leeast once not long ago at a pool party ... later had freckles showing up on my shoulders on the same place as the burns and I don't have freckles anywhere just two ...

[ItalianWarrior777]

as long as you are healthy, and your skin is healthy, with no skin cancer or melanoma, consider yourself lucky

[ConstantC4]

every human being gets some thing or another we don't often die in sleep at age 120.

in the big scheme of things we made an epic failure to to find means (I am sure you can think of many common thoughts in our cultures) justify death and disease as normal until it inflicts sensory pain.

it was over half a millenia from the time our branch of human culture realzied the world can be described by mathematics and logic , and our progress is rather bleak.

[ItalianWarrior777]

and your point is? I would like to know what have you invented in your lifetime

[byrt1983]

"LUCKY" WTF? black ppl wake up and live everyday without worrying about the sun killing us.the sun is the giver of life but for some reason it wants to kill crakkkaz LOL!!!maybe you fucks should go back 2 the caves and hide from the sun like you were made to do!do you notice any tropical areas and beaches in the icebox you call europe?NO!!so maybe just maybe the lord put your cavedwelling asses there 4 a reason! GET A FUCKEN CLUE YOUY FUCKEN UN NATURAL DEVILS!

[Samsukkaa]

lol :D There is more beaches and tropical areas in europe than in africa or india. :D

Look at the mediterranean sea its mostly white people. and even here in finland theres fucking beaches! :D

[byrt1983]

what kinda idiot would compare that icebox thats way above the equator to AFRICA that sits dead center on it?AFRICA has way more tropical beaches than europe anyday!! its surrounded by water you fucken stupid caveman,compared to europe thats frozen most of the year,the sun doesnt even shine in europe like other places,it always looks cloudy or its raining.why dont you crakkkaz stay in europe and leave AFRICA,JAMAICA.BAHAMAS and every other tropical paridise that youve invaded alone !

[Samsukkaa]

Lol :D youre so sad. Im just so glad you dont know nothing about this so called "icebox" lmao.

Yeah its super cold. Only 30 celsius at the moment :D

[s0l4r]

so what do you call those white patches you get sometimes on your face or your leg? blotchanoma? honkinoma? WTF!

[NYSalsaholic]

please educate yourself before posting something like this.

[nystagmus]

i wonder if sunbursts and people being outside at the wrong time might have something to do with it.

[nystagmus]

in the white population i think the statistic for melanoma is 1 in 76.

[yummyummyfoodintummy]

wow, i'm 24 and going through what this poor child is going through. No child should ever have their quality of life robbed for them in such a way. Poor kid
