    It’s because of all the harmful rays the sun emits. And, Christine, just because you’re African American doesn’t mean you don’t need to cover up, too. Because our skin has so much melanin (the pigment that makes our skin darker) in it, we especially need to lather up on sunblock. This is a myth in our community that Black people don’t need to wear sunblock. If you believe that you’ll end up like a lot of Black people with skin cancer. And who told you Black folks don’t tan? I’m dark and every summer, despite using Coppertone, I end up with a tan line at my sock line and short line!
