I am really hesitant about mentioning this because I don’t want to give this so called “condition”, African American Incidental UV Transference (AAIT), any publicity. However, a google search shows over 70 results for the term in quotes, so it looks like some scum is going around the net spreading their hatred under the guise of medical discussions. They seem to be saying the same thing over and over, leaving comments on a wide range of sites. I’m hoping that this post helps a bit to squelch the questions they seem to be causing, while pretending to raise legitimate concerns.

I found all this out because I was reading a story at my local newspaper’s site and saw a “user’s comment” that referenced a link between skin cancer and this new term, AAIT. I did a search for AAIT, and found a site (a wordpress blog) that supposedly belongs to a dermatologist. I say supposedly because he misspelled some key medical terms that any first year biology student would know. I’m not going to correct his spelling here, but if you really want to know, post a comment and I’ll fill you in.

I am not going to give any sort of link to this fraud that is trying to use the internet to spread hatred and dissension. Instead, I’d rather link to an excellent site that proves that exposure to Blacks in the work place or anywhere else for that matter does NOT cause any sort of skin reaction or skin cancer. They discuss this purported “condition” and say,”It is not real. It doesn’t even scientifically make sense. Humans do not store UV rays in their original form in order to release them later on. The body converts UV light to vitamin D. They can’t magically convert it back and start shooting UV rays at their coworkers like some kind of biological death ray. This is some idiot’s attempt at trying to manufacture a medical reason to be racist.”

I would definitely urge everyone to read the entire post at the site I quoted because they do a far more eloquent job than I. They’ve done a magnificent job of proving that AAIT doesn’t exist in any way, shape or form. I applaud them for taking the time to do their research and make it available for public benefit.

And the ones that are spreading this horrific rumor online?

May God have mercy on your souls
