White people, how does it feel to get sun burn?  Does it hurt? I'm black, It doesn't hurt us. Are we lucky?

It stings much like you scaled yourself with very hot water.  It really is a dumb idea to allow yourself to get a sunburn. Very light skinned people really should avoid the sun altogether.   Since my family came from the Artic Circle, we are especially vulnerable.

Hi...\nI think you're right, and that black people do deserve to receive some compensation for what you have been through!  I am white, but I see what all of you have been through, and still go through to this day just because of your skin color, and I think that you definitely deserve something for everything that's happened to you.  Be it now, or be it in the past...it is still well deserved.  In Canada, Natives are being taken care of and paid for the way they were treated in the past, so why don't the poor black people living in the States get the same treatment?  I hope that this works out for you, and you all receive help that you so desperately deserve.\nTake care,\nMelissa

I know friends that get tan or sunburn when they go skiing on a sunny day.... perhaps you are looking for a more complex answer.

Yes, they hurt. Mine were painful for a day or so after I got them. They also hurt for a day after you get them tightened. Aside from that, though, they aren't particularly uncomfortable... and it really is worth it.\n\nI always got black, because it made my teeth look whiter. Pick colors that you like and won't get tired of after a week, because you're probably going to be stuck with those colors for a month at least.

We all have different amounts of melanin in our skin. If we have less, our skin is lighter. If we have more, our skin is darker.

I see what you're saying.  I've thought the same thing.  If you have light skin, you'll stay cooler in the hot climate than if you had darker skin, so why would you want to get your skin darker if you'd only feel hotter the darker you got?  Right? \n\nTherefore if evolution were really working like it should, people who live up in colder climates like Norway and Sweden would have dark skin to absorb the most of the sun's rays and stay warmer and the people down in Africa would have lighter skin to repel most of sun's rays to keep them cooler.\n\nSeems like that would make sense to me.

Yes, they do, but they don't turn red like us pale skins do. I have many black or dark friends that have spent too much time in the sun (mostly in sports) and they do get burned.

My long term medication says that too, and I too am pale, the medicine made me extra-sensitive to sun and i got a burn in august and I still have the tan from it on the tops of my legs and my chest.\nSo my advice is dont go atall, or if you do only go for a litte bit.

Does being naked on the beach count? countless times with countless people in countless european countries. it was fine. nothing special.\n\nI'd like to point out that I was sunbathing. not getting up to no good. realised the 'with countless people' line looked a bit dodgy.

i agree with you...to a point, but, rather, I believe it is the black people who HATE the white people; I'm a very nice, welcoming, happy person who likes EVERYONE...unless they give me a reason not to. And most often, i find the majority of black people doNOT like white people; they don't smile back--they glare. Or they just look at a white person with hatred on their face. This happens every week, at the least. It also bothers me that I live in a white upper middle class neighborhood and...suddenly, a few black people have moverd around there...i always smile at them, especially because the most often put their heads down, like they don't want to be noticed, or anyone to, i dunno, burn a cross on their lawn...i say people are people, i don't care whWHAT color you are!

Dark skinned people have melanin in it. \nMelanin works like a sunscreen.\nThat's way dark skinned people have less skin cancer\nwile spending a lot more time outside.

You are so alone. I used to stare at the sun and be happy. (With my first grade education-- I thought the sun was my friend.) Then, my mom told me I would blind myself and I grew up to realize that I don't like looking at the sun, and I don't get angry. . . Or look back. You are completely alone.

being black does not mean you are sun immune,you must use the sunscreen to avoid photodamage to the skin caused by ultra-violet rays..
1010325
Yes... I have dark skin as well... and it is harder to burn but we can... so sunscreen can help... but since you are already burned try putting some aloe on

Hey man be careful with some crazy people up there. Oatmeal, lemon juice, vinegar IS NOT GOOD AT ALL. Those things could make it even worst. Take a pain killer like Advil or Tylenol. Also, get Banana Boat Aloe Vera gel. Put it in the fridge and use it at least twice a day (morning and evening). Last year I had a bad SBurn. Right after the Aloe Vera gel I use a Lubriderm lotion. Don't rub it, be gentle. Also, don't expose yourself to the sun and use light cotton cloth. Avoid detergent or use a natural one to avoid any sensitive reaction to the skin. Also, drink vitamin E and break a capsule and mix it with the Lubriderm or Aloe Vera gel. It worked out for me. I know people who had nasty marks after a sun burn like mine. I don't have any!

when u get sunburnt, u are getting burnt by uv rays that is solar radiation..... it is like sticking urself into a microwave.... where as a normal burn like a scold or a dry burn (flame) does not contain radiation unless it is contaminated by radiation....

You and every one you are speaking of need to get the hell out of the hick town you are in. We are all a part of the human race. It had been announced by a scientific study, and shown that  white skin is a genetic mutation. We were all alot darker than we are now. Get some more education your self.
