THE key agent of blackness, namely tyrosine is available in edible forms such as avocado pears.
However, one cannot resort to gastric supplementation in order to compensate for the tyrosine that lacks in one’s genetic coding.
When applied topically, tyrosine plays a protective role and is thus a key ingredient in manufacturing sunscreen.
Adjustments to the genetic codes can only be done during the conception of one’s offspring owing to genetic recombination.
This is when the chromosomes, 23 from each parent, are becoming one and the recipe of that individual is set.
The limbs, facial features, body mass index, longevity, complexion and hair texture, among other attributes of the offspring, are derived from the parents.
If both parents are of the same race, some of these phenotypical traits make no significant changes.
But in the case of miscegenation between black and white, the whiteman’s offspring gains tyrosine in the genetic code and the blackman’s offspring loses tyrosine.
Besides there being an agent of blackness, namely tyrosine, there is also an agent of whiteness in humans called sulphur.
Sulphur is white in colour and is abundant in brimstone, which is consequently white.
Sulphur has a bad odour. For example, brimstone smells like a flatulent (fart).
In fact, it is human excrement which contains sulphur, among other things, hence the distasteful smell.
In blacks, sulphur is minimal and can be found in traces on the skin.
Such is not the case for non-blacks who have relatively high amounts of sulphur.
This causes bad reactions when sulphur and the sun interact and can lead to genetic mutation and/or organ damage, for example skin cancer.
The sulphur in Caucasian whites is particularly high, so much so that it gives out its definitive smell when they are in close proximity.
The amount of sulphur on the skin is quantifiable and this observation is not driven by prejudice towards whites.
Unknown to many, whiteness has, in the past, been associated with illness and plagues.
For example, to the ancient Hebrews, white skin was a sign of leprosy. In Leviticus 13, it is written in great detail that leprosy was a skin disease which caused the skin to turn partially white (unclean leper), completely white (clean leper) or to have unhealable openings (old leprosy).
Unclean leprosy equates to ongoing vitiligo, a skin depigmentation illness which gradually turns people white.
Clean leprosy is the advanced stage of vitiligo, which is defined by the complete loss of melanocytes.
This results in the manifestation of an overly pale skin colour, like that of Michael Jackson at the time of his death.
Old leprosy equates to skin cancers such as melanoma. According to the bible, the skin assumes a white colour, then beneath its surface appears raw flesh that cannot be healed. Such is skin cancer which typically affects people with white skin.
Whites have tried through media to redefine the symptoms and signs of leprosy.
They portray it as a disease which leads to the falling of limbs such as fingers or chicken pox. This is false, as the scripture clearly calls leprosy a skin whitening plague, disease or curse.
Moses’ hand turned white briefly as a sign to Pharaoh. His sister Miriam was also turned white and this was deemed to be a curse. Other lepers in the Bible include Naaman the Syrian and Gehazi the servant of Elisha who was cursed to become white for all generations to come because of his greed.
All these people were described as having turned white, not losing limbs and so on. Leprosy also turned black hair yellow (blonde).
This proves the Hebrews were not white people and that whiteness of skin and blondness of hair were defining traits of leprosy, according to the scriptures.
This portrayal of whiteness as a disease was also prevalent in ancient India.
Indigenous Indians were as black as the Tamil ethnic group.
These intermarried with white-skinned Indians from beyond the Caucasus Mountains who returned to the Indus Valley and produced mixed race Indians.
This is known as Arian history and the whitening of the Asians that crossed the Caucasus Mountains to Europe is attributed to vitiligo and albinism, not climatic adaptation.
When blacks lose pigmentation, they still look black because of the large nostrils, kinky hair and thick lips they retain. Indians have straight hair, pointy noses and thin lips.
Albino Indians thus seem European, until they expose their Indian accent.
These Arian origins of Caucasians were well known to the Greeks and Romans.
Romans called Caucasians, Berber Arians, meaning non-Romans of Arian descent, thus the name barbarian.
When the albino Indians crossed the Caucasus Mountains, many of them developed xenophobic traits.
These would eventually introduce class systems in India on their return, which they incorporated into the culture and religion of Hinduism.
A stigma towards black skin grew out of this stock and continues to plague that region.
The ones with no xenophobic traits intermarried with black Asians in places like Syria, Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan, besides India, and this led to the spread of mixed race Asians.
Such facts of history cannot be ignored or overlooked, yet that has been the case in our era because whites have been domineering.
The accounts of leprosy/vitiligo presented from ancient times compliment the actual skin problems affecting humans today and were thus true.
Lepers, in the past, were often portrayed with broken noses. The nose of the African is well shaped, with curves and a firm structure.
Like egg shells and tree bucks, it is carbon that is behind the firmness and shape of a blackman’s nose.
If pigmentation, and thus carbon, is lost, the shape and firmness of the nose becomes compromised.
Let us now revisit the case of Michael Jackson. He had typical negroid features, namely a big nose, with large nostrils, black kinky hair and black skin, but grew up to be white-skinned.
The question is, did he intentionally change his skin colour by way of bleaching or plastic surgery as many accuse him of doing.
When he was asked by Oprah how his skin was changing in 1986, he said that he was diagnosed with vitiligo and around the time he released the hit album Thriller, the loss of pigment accelerated.
This was worsened by an incident which involved the burning of his hair and skull during a shooting for a commercial.
The process began with his hand which had several white spots. His father told him it was a disease that ran in his side of the family. He began covering the hand with a white glove and this became a signature look for him.
His cheeks and chest followed and he was forced to resort to applying brown make-up to cover the white spots.
With time, the white parts outgrew the black and it was at this point that he began applying white make-up in order to assume an even tone.
By the time of his death, Michael had little-to-no melanocytes left and the autopsy found no surgical scars.
This means without surgery or bleaching, he became whiter than most Caucasians who have melanocytes, though the melanin contained therein is poor.
By the biblical criterion, he would have been called a clean leper because the skin had all turned white, from head to toe.
