but from an evolutionary standpoint, black people probably have more evolved heat-dissipation methods than white people to compensate

 

i'd say that's a heavy assumption

 

working off another assumption; that there have probably been black people for longer than white people, and that crackas are actually the evolutionary offshoot, i'd say it's a pretty safe assumption

 

i agree with that, but question its relevancy.

 

i don't understand. the question this thread poses is: do black people get hotter in the sun?

 

from a purely physics standpoint, yes - paler is more reflective, darker is more absorbtive*

but from an evolutionary standpoint, black people probably have more evolved heat-dissipation methods than white people to compensate

 

*not an actual word

 

you seem very defensive about this whole matter, theSun; as if people are lined up waiting to accuse you of being a big racist.

It's Absorptive* with a P, and lol at your last sentence, it does seem that way.

i just want to know exactly what their bodies do that makes them dissipate heat faster.

they have a +3 modifier on sweating, and can shoot heatrays from their palms (unfortunately these are only 11deg C warmer than the ambient temperature - this is often used in a manner similar to the airdryers in pub toilets - or sometimes to make toast, but this takes ages).

also +2 resistance to fire magic.

Are you saying all black people are Charizard?

actually colored people possess more Melanin, which is compound that gives pigmentation (ie skin, eye, hair color). This helps protect them from the sun by absorbing harmful ultraviolet rays.

can be read about and confirmed via wikipedia (I initially learned this in my Afrikan psychology/study classes)

like i said, isn't pigment reflective?

like when women wear black mascara and squint less cause of it

edit: ah, absorbing..

edit 2: that makes sense, reflecting sun rays has fuck all to do with it, it's about absorbing stuff effectively, nice

black people seem to like hotter climates too. Maybe not. I dunno.

racist fucking bastard

Different species evolved different ways to cope with overheating. Dogs developed panting to compensate for a lack of sweating. And to compensate for increased body temperatures due to skin pigmentation, blacks developed enormous "heat wicking" phalluses.

Are you comparing blacks to dogs? Fuck me this thread is going somewhere.

Edit: Do you eat blacks too?

you guys ever notice how black people aren't actually black? it's pretty crazy, right?

but seriously, black people's skin doesn't get hotter in the sun than white people's skin. most of the heat you feel being absorbed by dark clothing comes from ultraviolet/infrared rays that are well beyond the visible light spectrum. dark skin doesn't absorb any more of that infrared light than lighter skin does because in the infrared spectrum light and dark skin aren't all that far apart in the grand scheme. it might actually absorb less, since the pigment in the skin protects more against ultraviolet rays.

Michael Jackson figured out the truth behind the skin pigmentation plot and they killed him for it.

the irish (gaelic) word for a brotha is 'fear gorm' (pronounced farr gurrum). the literal translation is 'blue man'.

this is down to two things - the fact that the first black people the celts encountered were probably really black

{{citation needed}} this is documented, i can't be arsed looking it up. the second that black - 'dubh' (pronounced sorta doov) was associated with death and bad stuff.

edit:

fir gorm (firr gurrum, blue men)

YEP

what i do know is that when you're laying with a black girl complete naked... it feels good! silky smooth!!

well this thread can be turned around with Scandanavian or Inuit people being of a more pale skin color!

p.s: Norvegian woman are teh hotness!

TRUE SCANDANAVIAN BLACK WOMEN

i've lain with white women... i've lain with black women... black woman skin is so much silky smooth... i married a mexican woman!

would you say that silkiness is due to skin products?

fucking hell

that silkyness is due to the glistening, shimmering act of the sweetest of lovemakin'!

Racist bullshit.

well... besides the sweet sexy time i've had with black women in the past, most if not all black people i've known hate cold weather!
