This pigment obsession is quite sad, looking at everything in life through simplistic black and white glasses....interpreting every event and occurrence in terms of blackness and whiteness.

The Fitzpatrick pigmentary scale ,used in medicine , has six levels of epidermal melanin content from " white" to " black"....the melanin content of the vast number of North Americans , who are essentially racial cocktails, straddle between 1 and 6 ( I'm a 2 1/2) ...there is no secret society of male albinos running the universe oppressing those with increased melanin content.
