yeah but that would be like saying all Ob-Gyn doctors have to be female, Just because they are male doctors it does not meant that they dont study and cant give advice to women patients just because they are male.

Does anyone know the name of the skin condition that causes many Blacks to have light spots on their skin? NBA player Marcus Camby seems to have this skin condition.

@Teijibana i've found that this seems to be the case when the person is a little zealous with the hyperpig regimen, it doesn't cause them to darken beyond their natural skin tone, it may seem like it's gone haywire because they've become accustomed to having a fairer complexion. my advice only spot treat! if you want to have a glowing look i advise a vitamin c serum twice a along with any facial sunscreen under Anthelios by La Roche Posey

Aloe-vera juice is great as well. Beautiful skin starts with what we put in our bodies.

Just put some food stamps and chicken wings on it!

@emokid3030 I am African-American;the African is my ancestry, & the American is my nationality. My ancestors came from Africa via the slave-trade. Since my ancestors could have come from many African nations & records weren't kept 2 distinguish which country (or countries), the continent of Africa will have 2 suffice. Since the European colonization of Africa, the original tribal territory lines have been destroyed;so what existed long ago is now gone. & all Blacks have descended from Africa.
