Skin Cancer

Since I have joined youtube I have had numerous people talking about white people and skin cancer. They refuse to believe people with melanin can get skin cancer. When in fact it is deadliest in darker skinned people then lighter skinned. For the simple fact is it isn’t detected til almost too late.If you have dark skin and are wacthing this then start doing something to protect your skin and quit believing you can’t get skin cancer just because you have dark skin. music is Beautiful by Sevendust(one of my favorite bands) Skin cancer in skins of color by krissyeh here on youtube www.youtube.com Skin Cancer Myths and the African-American Community www.npr.org Skin Cancer Facts www.skincancer.org Black Don’t Crack?

  2. Missy5464 says:

    @BRKS627 what should she stop doing? being smart?

  3. Missy5464 says:

    @justfarr1030 blacks who live in alaska? ok you’re gonna have to give me a reference for these blacks who have lived in alaska for thousands of years cuz this is the first i have heard of this lol!

  4. Missy5464 says:

    @zengreen7 yes but you can’t blame people who didn’t have anything to do with that past can you?

  5. Missy5464 says:

    @BRKS627 so you think it’s racist to tell dark skinned people to protect themselves?

  6. Missy5464 says:

    @draxx77 no they are not itialian if they were not born in italy. italian is only a nationality not a race! their ancestors are italian but they are american if they are born in america

  7. Missy5464 says:

    @Sjivje i’m sorry if it’s offensive but if you actually read through some of these comments some people do think they are invincible to the sun and they spread their ignorance on to younger more impressionable people.

  8. Missy5464 says:

    @sexyrose93 actually they only look orange when they get a fake tan not when they actually go out in the sun and get a real tan!

  9. Missy5464 says:

    @ANKHRASET haha i can’t wait to say goodbye to crackers either, they taste nasty. your comment truly shows how much of an actual idiot you really are lol!

  10. Missy5464 says:

    @HueyShabazz yeah and many white people have worked out in the sun and never got skin cancer! does that now mean white people don’t get it? what’s stupid is your comment!

  11. Missy5464 says:

    @111Treasury yes it is rare but it does happen and when it does happen it isn’t usually caught to well into the advance stages of it when it is already deadly. that’s why people need to know about it and prevent it

  12. 111Treasury says:

    Err…but if a black person has skin cancer……let me just break it down. It is very rare for a black person to get it.

  13. HueyShabazz says:

    Ive stayed out in the sun for hours playing basket but never got cancer.This shit is stupid.

  14. BRKS627 says:

    @ebonypocahontas stop it

  15. BRKS627 says:

    @Evette261 I agree 100 percent.

  16. ANKHRASET says:

    Missy u must have some type of fetish for the black u spend a lot of time on black sites spewing your ignorance just go and get your self so black meet be for its to late so your blood line can go on like the smart whites are doing its the only way u aliens can survive the coming of Sirius the other sun once the planets line up and the universe is back to normal and the dawning of Aquarius!!!! i cant wait good bye crackers for ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  17. justfarr1030 says:

    @Missy5464 I know what melanin is. Blacks who live in Alaska (and they can trace their lineage back thousands of years), why haven’t they lost extreme amounts of melanin and undergone physical changes?

    ANSWER: Because there is more to the story that POPULAR science chooses not to address as it pertains to the evolution or should I say, DEvolution of Caucasians.

    And if the sun is such a detrimental factor in evolution as POPULAR science says, why aren’t Caucasians in Africa getting darker?

  18. zengreen7 says:

    @Missy5464

    I live currently under the LEGACY of the past, that is how we “remember”, America’s negative attitude and treatment of blacks began in the past.

  19. Sjivje says:

    @Missy5464 Haha alright it’s ok ;p It is a good message to spread to use sunblock, I as well use it, but there were some things in the vid that could offend us like taking the conclusion that we think we are invincible for the sun XD that’s bullcrap XD I don’t even like the sun XD it turns me brown-ER in just 5 minutes ”-_- so ehh no not a good idea.. but you could tone the comments in your vid down a bit ;p

  20. sexyrose93 says:

    @Missy5464 no tanning is making white people look orange. And black people don’t get a lot of skin cancer compare to white people. We black people don’t sit in the sun all day!

  21. draxx77 says:

    @Missy5464
    Idiot, I friends that say that they are Italian, never been there, do not speak the tongue, so by YOUR logic, they are not Italian right? LOL!
    By your logic a Korean born in America and does not speak Korean and never been there is not Asian. LOL@YOU!
    Idiot, why would white people call themselves European American when they KNOW from where in Europe their ancestors came from? You are very fucked in the head dear.

  22. Missy5464 says:

    @justfarr1030 and what climates are you talking about that black people have lived in for thousands of years the same as whites? there are two different types of melanin, not just one. god learn some actual science!

  23. Missy5464 says:

    @justfarr1030 haha you can’t back it up can you?

  24. Missy5464 says:

    @zengreen7 how can you remember something you never lived through?

  25. Missy5464 says:

    @draxx77 lol actually i’m smarter then you, i can tell from the stupid comments you leave! don;t reply anymore. it’s not gonna affect me or the message in this video any!
