LOOK UP! I just thought it would be cool to share this tidbit. If I can catch the news and hear the information about upcoming eclipses tht we might be able to see over here in America, it could be a learning experience in getting better understanding of how eclipses occur. There will be a total lunar eclipse tonight and supposedly viewable in North AMerica... if the clouds don't cover it. Another arrangement like this one is not suppose to occur until over a decade later, I think. And, this one is also a supermoon. Even though this aspect will not be obious, one site explained it pretty well, in that I can understand it. The site said that imagine holding a baseball and a tennis ball in front of you. The size different is obvious, but if it is far away, then it is not so obvious. That is what this particular Supermoon will be in relation to its position with our earth and the sun.

Thanks again Del

Of course these are generalizations. Most African Americans are are mixture of people from all over the world. Hence some are lactose intolerant and others are not. Some African Americans will burn in the sun too as our level of melanin range greatly from high yellow to blue black.

　 Troy Whew! Lol..... Naaaaah bruh, that ain't happening over THIS way. I'd get with a masculine WOMAN and wrestle some love out of her before messing around with the most feminine of men, lol. Dark skinned people would suffer from Vitamin D deficiency in northern climates, while light skinned people would be able to better able to make due with limited sunlight because of a lack of melanin. This is an adaptation which could be considered an "upgrade" in northern environments. I was actually thinking this very thing and have heard it for years. They put Vitamin D in the milk but most AfroAmericans are also lactose intolerant after 25 or so years of age. 　 Cynique Why would anybody place any credibility in Elijah Muhammad's teachings? He has no credentials. Anybody can make up stories to support their beliefs. Well, that's a question for the hundreds of thousands of people who followed and STILL continue to follow and put faith in his teachings. Infact, you can find hundreds of them right there in Illinois. Why don't you go up to one of them or several of them and ASK them why would they place any credibility in such a man. I dare you.....lol. 　 　 So do African Americans suffered from winter any worse than European Americans people do? You go to any construction or road repair site even in the Winter time and you're routinely see White men working with no hats or gloves or heavy clothing but the frigid air seems not to bother them as much and in most cases not at all. I even routinely see White people of all ages in SHORTS with a foot of snow on the ground and the wind howling. How many Black or Latinx people have you seen doing that on a regular basis?

Yes, but it depends upon the environment. People of recent African descent are not optimized, genetically, for living in places live New York, Chicago, or Detroit. Indeed, many Black folks suffer from vitamin D deficiency which can diversely effect one's bones. White folks down here, in the south, must protect their skin with sunblock or they will suffer from sun burn and even skin cancer. I don't think I've ever been sun burned. Genetic adaptation takes a looooong time. Of course people can adapt by using suitable clothing and shelter. So if you can take someone else's shelter, clothing, and other resources that makes you the "fittest," nullifying any benefits of genetic adaptation.

Some mutations survive and dominate because of environment. Dark skinned people would suffer from Vitamin D deficiency in northern climates, while light skinned people would be able to better able to make due with limited sunlight because of a lack of melanin. This is an adaptation which could be considered an "upgrade" in northern environments. However that same fair skinned person would burn up if they moved closer to the equator, because they are less well suited to deal with the sun. Larger brains and opposable thumbs are definite upgrades, though not equally enjoyed by all homo sapiens....

Dark color eyes provide better protection of the retina from bright lights because of the increased melamin. Cosmetically, some Black people prefer the look of light colored eyes because it is different, relatively unique.
