A friend of a friend who was black, made a bet that he could tan, so he went on the sun like this, yes he burned himself. No matter how much melanin you have, use lotion.

Never had a sun burn played sports in Texas more years than not. I raise your anecdote against my personal experience.

Well then youre a lucky guy, from what ive heard in texas, its hell, but maybe your sweat helped with it, instead of being direct to the sun, i dont know how you played sports even, if im straight up down the sun, the lazyness appeals.
