Thank you 'unhooked25' and 'whileysea' for your thoughtful comments. So sad to read so much negativity about ones skin color when one has no control over how they were born. Come on folks. Let's embrace all.

@kbforme If push comes to shove we could be energy independent between Nuclear, Wind, Solar & Hydro power but we CHOOSE not to, & if living like a Savage in the bush is "more advanced" I don't know what to say...

*No but seriously there are Scientific Bell Curves of intelligence showing Jews at the top, then whites/European genetics, then Asians, Hispanics & Blacks at the bottom. Scientific facts can't be racist.

no it doesnt go that way

[cookiemonster1526]

you know what, im fed up with thes bored racist people whos lives must suck so much they need to send hurtful racist comments. to all the haters of people with skin conditions and just being racist: GET A LIFE! stop hating on people who didnt choose to be this way! didnt choose to be black white Asian and stuff like that, just accept the fact that they are who they are because making them feel bad wont change the way they are. just because they cant see your face you think you can say whatever.

@MiniMakeupArtist14

good question i went from watching Male pregnant to this :S wtf...

[kbforme]

@Oleh2011 i agree with ur first world/third world assertion, but u forgot asian countries that r also first world like japan and china. what ur saying u can also see that countries like africa and the native american population of the united states didnt develop as fast as the western world but they did live in harmony with the land where as whites consume resources faster than they can b replenished and if it keeps up the earth will b dead, so in some respects africa is more advanced

Lol so thats how white people came to earth....EWWWWWW

@Schaleby Ever wonder why Europe, America, Canada, & Austrailia are 1st world?

White = Inteligence

btw South Africa is techincally a 1st World Nation since they are a Capitalist Society, 4Million white Dutch decendants live there... yet S.A. has the highest Rape & Murder rates in the World, because of the Blacks there. & actually I believe other African Nations keep bad records but S.A. Keeps good records because of the white mans laws... sad but true think about it.

@Oleh2011 This is happening in a third world country you dumb fuck. Has nothing to do with color, it has to do with education and environment. 

[Schaleby]

@MiniMakeupArtist14 Im wondering the same thing. lol
