You just say that because it makes you feel better about how you think and socialize but facts are facts.
Melanin is a gift to blacks, that alone makes us very different.
its an enforcer of a stereotype as well as an explanation on why
Why blacks have so much energy, why we are mostcapable of completing strenuous physical task.
Pretending that isn't true is ignorant. Why deny your own attribute. That's foolish.
I rather my black women like six, you talking bullshit to deny that.
Even scholalry white people know this, some take melanin pills.
when does melanin = race?
Wtf. Youre smart but a dumb muthafucka at the same damn time.
melanin
Pronunciation (mel′ă-nin)
Any of the dark brown to black polymers of indole-5,6-quinone and/or 5,6-dihydroxyindole 2-carboxylic acid that normally occur in the skin, hair, pigmented coat of the retina, and inconstantly in the medulla and zona reticularis of the adrenal gland. Melanin may be formed in vitro or biologically by oxidation of l-tyrosine or l-tryptophan, the usual mechanism being the enzymatic oxidation of l-tyrosine to 3,4-dihydroxy-l-phenylalanine (dopa) and dopaquinone by monophenol monooxygenase, and the further oxidation (probably spontaneous) of this intermediate to melanin. Cf.: eumelanin, pheomelanin
^^^ Nothing in this definition means that it equates to race.
Race

Supplement
Humans have been categorized into many distinct varieties or races. One of the most common (and an old) subcategorization of human species is the five human races by Blumenbach: the Caucasian (white race), Mongolian (yellow race), Ethiopian (negro race), American (red race), and the Malayan (brown race).
At present, such classification is disputed to have no biological validity. The biological context of the term race is only widely accepted when used to refer to a subspecies arising from a partially isolated reproductive population and thus share a considerable degree of genetic similarity. An example is the African wildcat, which is a subspecies of the domesticated cat.
Im talking bullshit because I am not an ignoramus?! Awesome. Prove how these two concepts are related and you will receive a cookie.
