They would be on yte forums educating yte people on their fictional versions of 'truth' instead of here obsessing over Black People...they would also, if they had love and concern for their own people, be reasoning with them about the more important current issues that concern their people/their community(ies), like the issue below...if Black People are an 'issue' for them- why b*tch and bawl to us about it; that's your own issue to reason with amongst your own people cah we really don't give a dam lol...I mean, that's what we Black People do- we discuss our issues amongst ourSelves; well, on the forums that are about Black Unity Black Community and Black Love, etc....ijs...
Study Finds Dramatic Rise in Skin Cancer Among Young Adults
Mayo Clinic researchers report skyrocketing rates of skin cancer among young adults, probably due of their persistent use of tanning beds.
As a young adult with porcelain skin — I prefer that term to “pale” — I get it. Bronzed skin is perpetually “in” and nobody likes going to the beach only to have to sit under an umbrella and shield their eyes from the glare of their own upper thighs. But a new study from the Mayo Clinic finds an alarming increase in skin cancer among young adults, and the reason may be their persistent efforts to tan.
Published in the April issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings, the study reports that between the years 1970 to 2009, the incidence of melanoma increased eightfold among young women and fourfold among young men aged 18 to 39. Although men generally have a higher lifetime risk of melanoma than women do, the researchers found the opposite trend to be true among the young adults. “We knew we would see an increase in rates among young women, but we were surprised we saw such a dramatic increase. This seems to be higher than what has been reported previously,” said Mayo Clinic dermatologist Dr. Jerry Brewer in a teleconference.

For the study, researchers used data from the Rochester Epidemiology Project, a decades-long database of patient care in Olmsted County, Minn. The researchers looked at first-time melanoma diagnoses for all patients. Based on previous studies on tanning behavior, the authors suggest that the rise of melanoma among young women is linked to their penchant for indoor tanning.
In 2009, the International Agency of Research on Cancer declared tanning beds a human carcinogen, moving them into the top cancer-risk category alongside cigarettes. According to Dr. Brewer, tanning beds and cigarettes have the same cancer risk, but teens are ignoring the warnings. He says there is a disconnect in education about the dangers of tanning-bed use that needs to be acknowledged.
“Tanning beds can give you seven times the dose of UV radiation as the sun,” says Dr. Brewer, “but young adults are still going.”

It’s important to note that although melanoma rates are on the rise, mortality rates have improved. Researchers credit this to improved early detection methods and prompt medical procedures.
“People are now more aware of their skin and of the need to see a doctor when they see changes. As a result, many cases can be caught before the cancer advances to a deep melanoma, which is harder to treat,” said Dr. Brewer in a statement.
Dr. Brewer and his fellow researchers support bans on tanning booth use — especially for teens and young adults, who are more vulnerable to the damaging effects of early and frequent tanning — but they recognize the difficulty of enforcing them. “It’s like trying to ban cigarettes, it’s very hard. Should we be limiting tanning beds? Absolutely. Is it easy? Absolutely not. Many states do have bans, but kids are smart. We say, ‘You need a parent’s signature,’ and the kids write the signature themselves,” said Dr. Brewer in the teleconference.
The study group was predominately caucasian, but the researchers say the findings are valid and applicable to similar U.S. populations of the same age range. “There is currently a melanoma epidemic in the U.S., particularly in young women and middle-aged men. This has been documented by various large population based studies, with our study confirming that trend in young women,” says Dr. Brewer.
(MORE: In Young Tanners, Fear of Wrinkling Is Worse than Cancer)
But if people know what to look for, they can prevent melanoma. It only takes about three minutes to do a skin exam.
“Simply look at your skin,” says Dr. Brewer. “This includes getting mirrors and looking at your back and other hard to see areas. It takes a bit of education to get young people to start performing this initial first step, but once they do, the simple act of looking over your skin can significantly decrease chances of dying from skin cancer.”
Dr. Brewer also recommends educating yourself on the ABCDE’s of melanoma:
A — asymmetry: one side of a mole or dark spot looks different from the other half
B — border: instead of being circular or oval, the mole has a jagged edge
C — color: the mole has more than one color, a dark area, a light area or the colors red, white, or blue within it
D — diameter: the mole is larger than 6 mm across, roughly the size of a pencil eraser
E — evolution: any other changes are noted in the mole, even if the change can’t be categorized by A, B, C or D, above. Any itching or bleeding in a mole is also important.
^ If you love your people, things like the above should be one of your main concerns, and one of the things you should be talking to your young yte people about...rather than spending so much of your time harassing and obsessing over Black People and what we are doing and not doing...
Or is your obsession over Black People stronger than your love for your own...If so, I am sorry for you, no different than I am sorry for Black People whose obsession over yte people is stronger than love for their own...

Confirming Truth is a Haitian American. Cassitrides is the only white person who posts on this forum. My personal view on the black/white divide in western countries is voluntary segregation is the only solution. I only see things getting worse if two groups of people that both equally dislike each other are forced to live with each other. I guess the other mechanism is that the west will never allow African-Americans to form their own countries and that African America are so marginalized they lack the drive and resources to form their own country.
What does this have to do with an Egyptian-American such as myself? I have grown up most my life in predominately black areas in New York City and self identify as a black person. Its disingenious to say that I completly understand how most diasporian Africans feel so I refrain from those issues. However, I have a unique view of the racial problem in the west that comes from years of observation.

DHdoxies is a white female and they post here, they joined with the same intentions as myself, to counter Afrocentrism, Confirming Truth does exactly the same, but he's not white.
I think you are confused. Our opposition is to afrocentrism (the ideology) not blacks themselves. Isn't this forum's focus history & anthropology?
Btw, you put us in this position, so who is really obsessed with who?. If afrocentrics weren't trying to steal white history, white folks wouldn't be about trying to defend their history and heritage as much. It wouldn't be a huge issue.

So...eyewitness accounts are the only form of evidence you'll accept, huh?
If you were on trial for a crime you didn't commit, and the only evidence the prosecution could come up with was "I was there, I saw it," would you conclude that you MUST be guilty? Of course not--and the courts wouldn't either. Even if they're not lying, they could be mistaken. That's why you need more evidence to support an eyewitness account. And that's why "were you there?" is no way to refute a scientific theory. We know how fast light travels and how big the universe is because of calculations, measurements and observations of the stars dating back to Johann Kepler. Could we be wrong? Sure! But you'll need a better argument than the tired old "were you there" canard to prove it.

This has just made my list of stupidest things I've ever read.
"If it takes 11 million years to travel to earth, how can i see it now? I'm only 20.
If it takes 11 million years to travel to earth then the viewer would need to be 11 million years old."
Congratulations. You get the runner up spot on the list, too. Particularly since by this point you've had it explained to you and, instead of understanding what was said or asking clarification questions, you simply restate your first inanity.

Um, that might possiby be discussed in the US, and to all intents and purposes in some areas might be the case, but that isn't the case in the UK. I would therefore be careful about saying things like I have a unique view of the racial problem in the west that comes from years of observation.
As Lou Gates said, the black population in the UK is more intergrated than the one in the US.

The vehemence of his anti-black statements suggests a non-black person.
If I'm wrong, then that's pretty concerning stuff- he's a black person that's seriously hurting - although come to think of it, there was something I heard regarding animosities between African-Americans and Haitians. Maybe his hate is a product of that.

^ CT is the only non self-hating black here. The rest of you self-hating trolls come on this forum out of insecurity claiming blacks have straight hair, thin noses, blue eyes and other white features. You all look down on true negroid features, especially nappy hair, at least CT accepts what his phenotype is.

You seem to accuse virtually everyone of 'racist' posts, but always fail to provide an example of when such was posted.
Just because someone has a different opinion to you, doesn't mean they are ''anti-black''.
All you are doing is hiding behind the race card. You are the kind of crank who would accuse someone of racism if they told bah bah black sheep to their child.

yeah because calling black women ugly is totally the same as combating Afrocentrism.
Not believing blacks formed every "civilization" on the planet =/= whining about how blacks are aesthetically unappealing among other irrelevant insults. More deflecting because he doesn't want people irl to know his tendencies.

Don't play that garbage here. It's not simply that you have a different opinion. You can't excuse you're constant discussions about how black women for example are inferior as just "a different opinion." It's different and condescending towards blacks.
