    lol melanin is not pseudoscience... but it being what it is, its not something european scientists (whom the mainstream truly trusts) would be thrilled to spend much time researching about just to empower ? ya know..
    saying "European scientists are scared of it" does not make it real science. see how your argument isn't "here's the scientific proof," but "don't trust white scientists?" yeah.
    why do you continue to "debate" from a perspective in which a person must convince you of something you dont want to be convinced of??

    tell us what you know personally about melanin

    it doesn't give you magical powers.

    also, let's not pretend anyone convinced of the pseudoscience in this thread has an open mind about it. this is why the defense is not "look at the evidence," but "? why don't you just believe me."

    Eurocentricity is not a concept to debunk, you're either exposed to the standards of Western Civilization or you are not. Each and every culture has their own set of principles and beliefs which are to be adhered to, some of us just had the misfortune of being brought up amid a succession of Western indoctrination. It's impossible to argue against Western Civilization if one speaks English, for example. That's foolish thinking.

    This is nonsense. If you take World History and you only learn about Europe and how Europe affected other countries, that's a Eurocentric view.
