I remember seeing those Nubian skin launderie company models in a Oprah magazine. You should have explained that Nubian skin is the name of the launderie company
I'm white and I don't burn from being outside all the time. My skin just stays dark due to it making melanin on it's own, but I recently started wearing long sleeves and a big hat just to keep the sun off me.
"White people only burn if they don't spend much time in the Sun" - unsupported generalisation. It sounds like you have the kind of white skin that tans - good for you. However, a tan is still a sign of UV induced sun damage. There's nothing healthy about tanning. It's a recipe for premature wrinkles and possibly skin cancer.
Well... Can't tell if biased or just for fun but good MyTake

I know! I'm 17 and white and my complexion is frankly pretty terrible (peely, acne, etc.). Then I see black people in their 70s, 80s, 90s and they have nary a wrinkle.
It's not so much the acne as the peely-ness. It's just amazing how young white people can have such awful skin and old black people can have such flawless skin.
I knew I was going to get opinions like this. Whites are in magazines, music videos, and numerous other industries are predominantly white. I think that a little take on people of color wouldn't hurt. But thanks for commenting.
What does white people being in magazines have to do with your post? Did you assume this was a magazine? This is a comment directed towards the black power aspect of your post which I find hilarious. Imagine the Hitler youth doing the same thing now...
You seem offended. But what I'm saying is that white skin and pale skin are represented everywhere while people of a darker complexion aren't so this take is promoting black beauty and the benefits of melanin. I don't mind talking to you about it in the message section.
i won't argue with you and call you names for disagreeing with me of course not everyone will agree with me. I'm not sure what your last comment meant but think about being in a black person's shoes. Feel free to message me if you want to have a conversation so I can better understand your views. I can't message you because your profile is private. #Loveyomelanin
anyone can agree with you. Since you clearly don't want to message me so we can have a decent conversation i guess your the ignorant one. Many people agreed with me as well. In case you didn't notice i did add disadvantages of being melanin rich. @Princessmethteeth and @AleDeEurope you guys have good points and i won't criticize you on that. So if you want to talk to me about feel free to do so. I don't hold grudges and i don't mind talking to people who have differing views as i do. Thanks for commenting.
I just think that this would become a warzone if this was done by whites saying how white skin is awesome. I'm 100% sure you would have a complain about it, just like every other non-white. I don't know, but you guys wanna end racism but still bring up stuff like this. Stop separating yourself and you'll see an improvement.
hahahahahaha. So now I'm racist for doing a take about the benefits of melanin. If you notice I added disadvantages of being melanin rich. Never once in my take did i say whites were unattractive. Your clearly hurt by the take and i'm guessing your white. We can have a decent conversation instead of going about it this way. I really don't mind to reach out to a person with different views and have a mature conversation.
You are a racist. When opened this I was thinking vitamin D, but then there was all this stupid racist shit so I just laughed about it and then I reflected back on history with all the blond hair blue eye master race shit and thought it was funny how history is repeating itself.
@AleDeEurope we can have a decent conversation about it if you want instead of arguing back and forth like @Princessmethteeth. I don't mind learning about others views.
I don't need to have a conversation. I do not disagree with what you said, I just wanted to say that as I agree with what the opinion owner said in his first comment. If you wanna talk, message me, but you don't really have to.
Well thanks @Princessmethteeth for commenting I now see the kind of person you are and I understand how you feel about things. I hope you enjoy your life and live extremely happily.
The take owner never insulted or said anything negative about white or lightskin people she was just stating the benefits of being melanin rich and even added disadvantages as well. I think it's wrong that @princessmethteeth that your calling her a racist when she clearly isn't she's even said that she believes that white and pale skin people ARE attractive. Not only that but the reason it would be a "warzone" is because white and light skin people ARE represented everywhere. They are considered the most beautiful and even in certain countries it's a status symbol of wealth. In fact if you google image perfect skin the majority of the images is white and light skin people further promoting that white skin is the right skin. Poc have almost always been put down for there skin color for more than a decade. I enjoyed the take and it was nice reading about other people's advantages and beauty as well in a world where the opposite is most prevalent.
tan does not equal black/brown. how many white girls do u know that wants to look black/brown? i know most Asians want to look like white people and black/mexican guys prefer white girls etc..
Haha you mean tanning, esplorare? Are you that stupid. Tanned skin and black skin are far different. Sorry but like abcd dude said, I've never heard someone say they wish their skin was black.
in my opinion i don't think white's tan to be brown or dark skin. I think they tan to be a little darker than what they actually are. I don't think white skin is the prettiest either i think all people of all shades can be very beautiful it's just that brown and dark skin get the least credit.
Sooo funny all the people who are pro white answer anonymous if you are so proud to be white show your damn face lmaoo No hunnie you are sadly mistaken no one skin is prettier than the other.

Well I'm a red head, so not much melanin in my skin, I burn to a crisp if I don't use a high factor sunscreen. So thank god for fake tan :)
I still would not want to be extremely dark. Dark and when I mean DARK people... they still get treated like second-class citizens.
I remember seeing those Nubian skin launderie company models in a Oprah magazine. You should have explained that Nubian skin is the name of the launderie company
Sorry I know it's explained in the picture but some people may not get it
I'm white and I don't burn from being outside all the time. My skin just stays dark due to it making melanin on it's own, but I recently started wearing long sleeves and a big hat just to keep the sun off me.
So basically white people only burn if they don't spend very much time outside.
Or if they don't put stuff on. I burn but if i put sun screen on i just get a bit of color

Great Take. Just got my first sunburn in 24 years. hahaha all good I still #lovemymelanin
Thanks for the compliment. #Loveyomelanin
Black don't crack. :)
As the saying goes in black culture, "black don't crack".
Seriously... my mom is 20 years older than me and people think we are brother and sister!
Lol you make it sound like African American is the new definition of black.. but oh well. :)

Black people get acne, trust me! Plus when we get scars, our body produces extra melanin so the scars are even more visible and hard to get rid of.
It's not so much the acne as the peely-ness. It's just amazing how young white people can have such awful skin and old black people can have such flawless skin.
I am white, and I choose to believe I am winning also. lol
We can all win enough prizes to go around ❤❤
It would be just as funny to see a post like this from white people... All non whites would have a rally and shit. :D
I was gonna say the same thing xD I'd love to red the comments if this was about whites xD
I knew I was going to get opinions like this. Whites are in magazines, music videos, and numerous other industries are predominantly white. I think that a little take on people of color wouldn't hurt. But thanks for commenting.

As I said I find it funny. I also find Klan members marching around in wizard suits funny. Ignorant people are amusing in strange ways.

You're extremely deluded. Someone agreed with me before you even responded. Thus you've failed. Game over.
anyone can agree with you. Since you clearly don't want to message me so we can have a decent conversation i guess your the ignorant one. Many people agreed with me as well. In case you didn't notice i did add disadvantages of being melanin rich. @Princessmethteeth and @AleDeEurope you guys have good points and i won't criticize you on that.

Why would I want to talk with a racist when I can just laugh at you and live my life. :D
I just think that this would become a warzone if this was done by whites saying how white skin is awesome. I'm 100% sure you would have a complain about it, just like every other non-white.

I thought I was clear that having a discussion about you being a racist wasn't of interest to me.
Well thanks @Princessmethteeth for commenting I now see the kind of person you are and I understand how you feel about things. I hope you enjoy your life and live extremely happily.
lol sure you do... Totally deluded.
Thanks you guys for commenting!!!

What a douche.
ITS benefit is protection from the sun. Everybody has melanin, we all reap ITS benefits.
daymn those girls in the last photo and gif I got turned on
yea they are definitely beautiful
awwwwwwwww that was so cute <3
that first pic especially xD haha
Whites got lower melanin and are more adversely affected by sun... they they're obsessed with tanning. WTF!
#LoveYoMelanin <3
LOL. I approve this message.
Great take!
Glad you appreciated it.
Great MyTake!
THANKS!!!
White skin is still prettier.
All skins are pretty
No it isn't. All skin types are beautiful.
Accidentally upvoted this crap
If that were the case, then so many white people wouldn't be risking skin cancer to tan and achieve a look they weren't born with ;)
By the way coward, you're a pussy
tan does not equal black/brown. how many white girls do u know that wants to look black/brown? i know most Asians want to look like white people and black/mexican guys prefer white girls etc..

Sooo funny all the people who are pro white answer anonymous if you are so proud to be white show your damn face lmaoo No hunnie you are sadly mistaken no one skin is prettier than the other.
