Posted by rockyroadicecreamAnd my point which I guess was lost on the both of you is that you can't make blanket biological generalizations based on a social / cultural construct like racePosted by EmhendoOh stfu.Posted by Arielle83Black people as a WHOLE do not have "more testerone".. That's the point I'm trynna make. Black men have more testosterone than any race, black women have more ESTROGEN than any race; hence bigger breast, fuller curves, white babies use to feed on black nannies lactation (the slave nannies literally looked like Aunt Jemima syrup mascot). This is facts. If we can stand the sun longer, if Africa is one big sun-bound desert, what makes you think we lack any vitamin D? White people burn in the sun, get the fuck over it. Whites have always been jealous, and to sit here and argue about our Vitamin D levels and health, just proves it. We are healthier, stronger, and when we get your women pregnant it's a negro with light skin. Get the fuck over it.Posted by Adreamuponwakingyes we all know this regarding diet and vitamin d...Posted by Arielle83Yeah I know that sunlight is needed to produce vitamin D but I remember learning in my anatomy and physiology class about other sources than sunlight that people can get vitamin DPosted by Adreamuponwakingmelanin = shield to ultraviolet raysPosted by Arielle83Not sure about thatPosted by AdreamuponwakingPosted by EmhendoPosted by hydorahThat's bullshit and Idk where tf you get your stupid ass facts from.. You mistake strength for testorone, that's fucked up. We have more Melanin, and with melanin carries more vitamin D. We are simply healthier, stronger, agile.
black people have in average more testosterone than other races, so a black woman must be the equivalent of a white male or sthg like that
Also false .
Besides the fact about melanin .
Ya more melanin means increased protection against ultraviolet rays which are needed to make vitamin D. Therefore the more melanin means longer exposure to sun is needed to make vitamin D.
SCIENCE
I need to fact check the last sentence .
vitamin d = made from exposure to ultraviolet rays
more melanin = bigger shield, therefore more time needed to be exposed to ultraviolet rays to make vitamin d
less melanin = more exposure to ultraviolet rays, therefore less time needed to make vitamin d
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19182816
"Melanin has several physiological roles in maintaining health, but, notably, it affects the synthesis of vitamin D. Melanin is the primary determinant of the degree of skin pigmentation and protects the body from harmful ultraviolet radiation. Synthesis of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1,25[OH](2)D(3)) in the skin, however, is dependent on ultraviolet B light. Highly pigmented skin, to the level found in people of African origin, abrogates almost all ultraviolet-induced 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) synthesis."
E.g- fatty fish .
Also I don't think that people with lighter skin need less sunlight for vitamin D production more so that diets have aided to supplement their need for vitamin D .
And the article is also slightly wrong technically we are all of African origin .
Lastly if the article is true that would mean that people with darker skin complexions wouldn't be able to get sunburn which is also not true .
Pubmed is a good source to a certain extent but you always have to critically engage with the the science within the articles found in the database .
Most of its isn't reproducible by the way .
Disclaimer :
You should also know that I'm published and you can find me through that database lol .![]()
You should also know that my major and what I want to get my phd in is "the history and sociology of science " ....scientific research is influenced by subjective cultural beliefs . It's not truly objective and hence often wrong in it's claims .
i still believe in its use obviously just that - watch this 60 second lecture from a professor at my university he can perhaps explain this better
https://www.sas.upenn.edu/lying-your-way-truth
but we were talking about that user's post who made a statement about how black people have more melanin which means more vitamin d.
then you said everything is false except the melanin part...
so i explained that more melanin means less production of vitamin d...
look at the post thread...
we weren't talking about other sources of vitamin d
original post argued in this post thread:
"That's bullshit and Idk where tf you get your stupid ass facts from.. You mistake strength for testorone, that's fucked up. We have more Melanin, and with melanin carries more vitamin D. We are simply healthier, stronger, agile"
u said this statement is false...im agreeing with you...
so i don't get why you are going on about other sources of vitamin d when that wasn't the argument
Your dark skin PREVENTS vit D synthesis from the sun, honey. What the hell is so hard to understand about that?
Sounds like you need to get the fuck over it with your gigantic chip on your shoulder that's been indoctrinated into your silly cunt attitude. Simmer the fuck down.click to expand
Posted by heliumfiascoYou haven't seen Colombian yet ?
I'd exclusively probably date black women. Best hair, bodies, style , confidence. Most gorgeous women.
Came to this realization drunk in Vegas last night. When I was drooling over our bartender.
Then I realized I am my fathers daughter. My grandfather and dad have same taste in women. My dads fiancé is Ethiopian and absolutley striking.
What would be your type if you were attracted to the same sex?
