We walk past each other daily our view of each other is tainted by a word. Jessica’s dark brown shirt looks as if she dropped the bleach and spilled on her shirt except it is not her shirt it is her skin. Her brown skin is white she knows all too well that she will become albino. The brown skin she lived in for 12 years is now faded out. Society has categized others the color of the skin is the race. Melanin is black or dark brown pigments present in the hair skin and eyes of man and animals (dictionary.com).

The lack of melanin causes the fading of brown skin. This is a noticeable difference in skin complexion. The white becomes more visible in all areas that are affected by melanin. The lack of melanin does not affect everyone. Melanin is a very helpful protectant in our skin to prevent skin damage. Without Melanin, the skin becomes very light in color and can burn within minutes in the sun causing irreversible damage to the skin layers.
Today the question is often asked what is his/her race. Race is a commonly used word to describe a person. Society has made this word come to a defining that isn’t true. Ethnicity is a better way of understanding where the physical traits come from. White or black are the terms used most often to describe a race of a person. His/her skin can be brown in complexion and be completely Spanish.
Our ancestors mixed freely people had children with many different ethnicities and some are not all known. Race is not a category when looking back as to where they come from. No gene, trait, or characteristic that distinguishes one member from another. Beneath the skin we are genetically similar. The color of our blood and heart are the same
