white. Black sucks heat in and makes you feel warmer.

Look around a little more, you will find him as black, with greek features, arab features, asian, italian etc. I've even seen Him depicted wearing an Irish kilt. He is most often portrayed in the image of the artist.

Yes you can. White turning black is easier though, but both are medically possible. In the 50's a southern white man used medication and dye to become a black man in order to know what the black endured in the prejudiced segregated south. He wrote a book, "Black Like Me," that I wish everyone would read. It is a time honored classic. It has been reprinted and is available at Amazon and perhaps at your library. The author is Griffin. I remember my Dad telling me that the author died eventually from skin complications. The poignant theme throughout the book is that this is the same person who was white and then black. The same person. So behind all the various skin colors is a person just like me. Quite a powerful book.

No, not even close-even considering that there are a handful of million black people that are native to EU countries, especially the UK, there are still well under 20 million blacks in Europe.  In the US, in a population of nearly 300 million, blacks make up about 17%, or approximately 50 million.  All that being said, genetically it is very difficult to distinguish people based on what we have historically known as "race", and most geneticists dont consider it a meaningful term-"Black" people such as Ethiopeans and Somalians are more genetically related to European "white" people than to other "black" African populations.  Skin color is only one of thousands of characteristics of a person that are genetically passed-it just happens to be one that is visible.  If you look at blood type, for example, then you see as much variation in the European population as you do between Europeans and Africans, and that holds true for most genetic traits. So, Black and White, genetically, dont mean very much.

Do you mean vary on the one person depending on how they feel? ie going green with illness, red with sunburn etc?\n\nOr do you mean vary between individuals, ie Africans tend to have darker skin than Europeans?

Yes.  An albino is just like anyone else except they're skin is lacking pigment and their eyes and hair are lighter. They are normal in every other way, basically. He is one of the coolest guys I've ever known. :)

I guess I'd prefer a dark skinned man to an albino white skinned man... But I like the noses of an albino white skinned man usually better then the nose of a dark skinned man.\n\nLike Michael Jackson... Looked much cuter in the dark skin... just change the nose slightly but not to the extent that it falls off. ;)

Yes they are you know why? because dark skin black in TV role are what we call a "Black" person or "Black film." Whereas a light skin Black like Will Smith is a Black guy but not a "black"(dark or relating to African) guy. A black guy like will Smith is more acceptted in society and being a Black person without being a Black movie. If Will Smith was very dark he would have not got the roles he have, because they would appear to the "Black" audience or a black film. Light skin blacks can relate to "Blacks" and white people. Whereas a Dark Black person in a role Will be seen as a African type of black that others will think of as a "Black picture"

Supposedly (according to the Montel Williams show) it is possible, but I've never seen it happen.\n\nMy son's father is very dark, I am sort of medium olive-skinned, and my son is about the same shade as my light-skinned black roommate, whose parents are both much darker than she is. \n\nIn my experience, children will often turn out to be LIGHTER-skinned than their parents, but almost never darker. I am a prime example of this. I do know a few individuals who have children that are marginally darker than their parents, but never a biracial kid.

No... Being dark is attractive, and people of color don't have to deal with skin cancer, or tanning booths. So let's just consider them lucky. They're not trying to "copy" anyone, it's just always been perceived as "exotic" and "sexy" to be dark.

dark clothes, dark makeup, dark everything, except skin. skin should be as pale as a ghost.

Totally! Aesthetic diversity is so cool! Chocolate, olive, caramel, peach, sepia, cream...they're all named after foods. I think it's really ridiculous how colorist some blacks are, how they think being high yalla makes them superior.
