not only is that patently untrue, but it is also based on zero science knowledge.

‘tan’ is actually a colored pigment in the skin which protects the skin from excessive UV radiation. Ultraviolet (UV) rays are part of a vast spectrum of rays emitted by the sun. More the exposure to UV rays, more is the pigment produced by the skin glands.

The outer layer of the skin, called epidermis, contains three kinds of special cells. The one that concerns us, and what we are talking about now, is the melanocytes.

Melanocytes are the cells that produce the colored pigment – melanin – which makes the skin look ‘tanned’. The amount of naturally produced melanin varies from race to race as it depends wholly on heredity. African-Americans have high amounts of melanin which makes their skin look black or dark brown. Caucasians have much lesser melanin which makes their skin look light.

It is the skin’s natural tendency to produce more melanin when exposed to UV rays, as melanin blocks the harmful rays. If white skinned people are exposed to UV rays, their skin looks a shade darker. Thus it’s literally a ‘browning’ of the skin. Excessive UV rays are harmful because they cause bursting of tiny blood vessels in the skin, which leads to swelling and reddening (a sunburn as it’s called).

there is no reason to spew uninformed crap.

If that’s the case, then most “white” people in this country aren’t actually white. The ability to tan is not something that pure white people are capable of. This means that if you can get a tan, then your “white” genes have been diluted at least once in the past. In other words, you have an ancestor of color.

Can we give the filmmakers a little credit? It’s obviously intentional.

Harriet Tubman helped bring several hundred slaves to freedom. Now I haven’t seen E.T. in a while but if I remember correctly in this scene Elliot dressed E.T. up to sneak him out of the house to “phone home.”

That’s not true at all!
It’s not even racist. If you look like something, you look like it.
My friend looks like a puppy, and my other friend Zach (who’s African American) has pointed that out, and that’s not racist! Hyperoffended people who like flip out if you say any little thing about the color of anyone’s skin are the only people who would think that.

Awesome! Another black person like me who can look at this and still have a sense of humor! Seriously… the wrinkles and the shroud did it for me and I lol’d so hard… And not only at the picture, but also all the self-important morons who scream “Racist!” when they saw this picture.

By: Naruto

Naruto — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 22:16:51 +0000

No, it’s racist at all. I’m black and I thought the comparison was hilarious. Seriously, black folks, leave the race card alone for a bit. You guys are always ready to call racism for stupid stuff that isn’t racist at all. Give it a rest.

I’m black and I wasn’t at all offended by the comparison. What upsets me is that a huge debate about race even started in the first place. Why can’t people just enjoy the comparison and move on with their lives, stop making a big deal every time a black person is involved. Jeez la weez.

Racism Means Animosity Towards Other Races And Nobody Is Saying That EVERY Black Person Or “Colored Person” Looks Like E.T.
I Saw This And Fort It Was Funny
It Not About Being Racist, I Mean I DOnt THink A White Person Could Look Like Her And I DOnt Think A BLack Person Could Look Like Peter Griffin
Dont WOrry About Her Colour
Worry About How Funny It Is
And Its Actually Quite Funny, People Need TO Let It GO Man
GOSH !
p.s. the person who found this is genius

Also, this totally isn’t racist… it’s the fact that she’s a wrinkly old lady wrapped in a white blanket that makes her look like ET… Harriet Tubman was a cool chick, the fact that she looks like ET only makes her that much cooler

By: Emily

Emily — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 02:41:25 +0000

LOL whoever posted this: did you just recently watch something on the underground RR like on MSNBC? It was on within the last week… and there was a woman who recreated the underground RR led tour groups safely across Niagra Falls? Because I just watched that and thought… WHOAH!!! Harriet Tubman looks just like ET in that pic!!!!!!!!!!!!

Come on people, you don’t know that Harriet Tubman came before ET?
Therefore ET Looks like Harriet Tubman, your inability to properly title these is actually getting so annoying it’s hard to enjoy them.

why are all of you people who are so offended even at this website. there are an a lot of offensive comparisons on this website and if you’re SO offended, why don’t you go elsewhere?

or… find a sense of humor while you’re here? maybe?

and for the rest of you. no one was even complaining on this page to begin with. all of the racism talk started because someone who didn’t have a problem with it started saying OTHERS would complain and then started complaining that people MAY find it racist. geez.

the problem here isn’t racism, it’s straight ignorance.

i personally think its funny not racist and yea i am of the african american persuasion. it may be wrong but its funny. now some posts that compare a black person to a gorilla you have to admit are a bit racist but those are few and far between from what ive seen on this site

By: Mark

Mark — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 23:21:15 +0000

It is because of how she is and What she has done, the reason people get a little pissed when you make that comparison. If it wasn’t Ms. Tubman and some other unknown black women it would have been okay!!

I though it was a little funny and I’m as black as they come!!

I’ve seen that picture of her before and thought the exact same thing but forgot about it some 10 years ago. wow thanks for the memories.

The resemblance is uncanny! Shroud and all. Kudos to whoever found this one, it’s the best on the site!

and:

If it’s okay to make fun of the freakin’ POPE, then I’d say any famous person is fair game. Abraham Lincoln kinda looks like Lurch.
