Tanning is, You Guessed it, Racist: The sun has been present for a staggering number of injustices

I will be tanning today, and I’m doing some math at work today.

[bgill]

Show me a white person who’s turned black while tanning.

[heartwood]

Me, I’m the palest person in the room, and I always wear a big sun hat when I go out, and I have got to be guilty of problematic accentuating of racial differences.

[ClearCase_guy]

I think the counter-argument is: “You’re an idiot and I don’t need to debate this with you.”

[Army Air Corps]

In short, anything that White People do is racist. Anything. Period.

[Army Air Corps]

That is the logical argument.

[Responsibility2nd]

Actually the fact that white people easily sunburn when blacks don’t is an example of racism.

I demand that blacks get sunburned!

And actually I believe that some really smart conservatives think up stuff like this to spoof and troll the idiot leftists.

Why do you think he was spending those vacations in Hawaii?

[Getready]

The internet has allowed every psychotic a chance to bloviate. It’s like walking into the psych intake ward at an emergency room with all the verbal word and idea salads being shouted out or vocalized.

[cgbg]

It is getting kinda obvious that there is only one cure for racism—round up the all the white people and gas them.

:-(

If you are white and benefit from a tan, you are reaping the rewards of being a darker person without paying the dues, i.e. the racism that darker people routinely endure.

The only rewards I've reaped was a sun burn. I've never tried to get a tan or burn. I have worked outdoors though, including my 25 years in FL.

[Chode]

blacks tan too...

Actually you are more susceptible to skin damage and related diseases from exposure to that sun than "darker people" are - should white people cry unfairness under this warped logic?

[Irenic]

I’m a redextremities, more than my neck gets sun from gardening/yardwork.

Are the accusers going to come do my gardening and work? No?

They can kiss my white a** and I’ll just carry on as normal.

[Nea Wood]

Okay, from now on blacks are not allowed to straighten their hair or dye it blonde.

[Macoozie]

For Salty’s, a fresh, “sun-kissed” look from an active outdoor life is appealing as a sign of health, vigor and vitality.

Laying on the beach until burnt is just bat-shiite crazy.

[Nea Wood]

That’s exactly what I think is going to happen. Every sign is pointing to it.

blacks tan too...

You racist, you!

I'll bet you hate small, furry, cuddly animals, too!

[VastRWCon]

I believe many years ago tanned people were poor people. Only the rich were the purist of white.

Me, I am tanned most of the year(FL). Even sometimes darker than my black friends during summer months.
