    I’ve had that happen to me once, fuckin around and floating in the pool with no sunblock on because “I don’t need it, I’m black”. Mf, let me tell you, I freaked the FUCK out when my skin started to peel.

        Another comment here said something to the effect of “black people a get +10 spf perk”, we can just go with that? I was like 12 when it happened so I didn’t really take a mental note of how long it took, I was more concerned with figuring out how to be as still as possible.

        Edit: and that comment said the spf +10 only applies for the darkest skin tones. I’m like milk chocolate bordering on caramel, let’s just say imma burn up under the circumstances you provided.
