There is a scrund that seems to be fairly common in all races, but in blacks it is more apt to be an active scrund (a belief you're aware of having) & in other races it's more apt to be a passive scrund (something you've never even thought about & do not even realize that you believe until you discover, to your surprise, that it is false). What is it? | ||

Is it false for all races? Is it false for both genders? Is it false for all ages? Is it always false? | ||

Does this "scrund" involve skin? Skin color? Some characteristic of the skin? | ||

Bob Marley died of melanoma, which surprised a lot of us who thought that skin cancer happened only to "white" people who left the northern climes for the south. Is that relevant? | ||

That they don't need sunscreen? That they can't get sunburns? | ||

That they can't get sunburns?see previous answer ********* SPOILER *************** I loathe sunscreen & had always taken it for granted that dark-skinned people didn't need it. So I was surprised to see a black friend(with medium-brown skin, approximately the attractive color of milk chocolate) slather the smelly, slimy stuff on herself just as I slather it on myself. Apparently, dark skin gives some protection, but not enough. Sorry it was so easy, but maybe my new puzzle won't be. Please check it out! | ||

Nimue, I really appreciate this. As a very fair-skinned half-English half-Irish American, with more sense than anyone would give me credit for, I am not good at the slather. My bf is religious about it. And now that you've told your story, I will become so, too. Especially as I have to walk about 6 miles this afternoon! Hugs and gratitude, Fiona | ||

We should probably move this to another board, but: yes, the main reason I don't usually slather the sunscreen is that I have long hair, and I don't like my hair to get icky. Stupid, I know! But from now on, I'll slather and deal with the icky. Nimue, you are wonderful, and if I ever am lucky enough to learn of a perfect sunscreen, I'll buy them all up, and then send you half. Deal?

You bet, Fiona! By the way, I looked up your registration page & saw that you are a librarian & writer. I love libraries & librarians! In fact, one of my short stories is about a librarian. Maybe it will amuse you. Here's a link. http://www.apaonline.org/publications/newsletters/v06n2_Medicine_06.aspx I used the story as a basis for a puzzle, but I think that was before you were on the forum. |
