Ever wondered why your skin color is the color it is? Well now you know...

In short, the closer your heritage is to the equator the darker your skin color. (see attached map)

Look at J-Man, tryin to get all heady on us!!!

I figgered tha wut eva makes the snow white, just rubbed off and we ubsorbed it. No snow, you get a nice natural brown... and thats why we brown in the summer... cuz the snows gone.

Did you also know that, way back, people used to look down on anyone with a tan. You were seen as a laborer, common folk, peons.

Funny how things change.

I got a farmers tan is that ok easybob? haha And that info is really cool james.

And...that is another reason why all vampires never tan.

I don't think it has anything to do with where you live, I live in South Florida and i am outside constantly, and I don't tan, at all, i burn, peel and then go back to being white... it sucks...

interesting site ...

there is some truth in what they say, but not only affects where you live is also about the origin of the person, race, living in each area ..

Soo... time to order some Vitamin D supplements.

I kinda already knew that...seeing as white people can tan, and pretty much all black people were from Africa...and I knew that the Sun affects the melonin(sp?) in your skin, and hence why people in Africa that lived on the Equator are like the "black as night" black people, while if they lived further away (like South Africa or Morocco) they'd be more of a chocolate color.

Are you suggesting that white people have the Force? And if so, why am I not Luke Skywalker? I'm just about the whitest dude in existence.

This Whole thing's Confusing! Thank The Lord for White Girls! =)

Cause you have an aversion to kissing your sister? And Samuel L. Jackson has the force... maybe my screens brightness needs to be adjusted, but I don't think he's white.
