you're absolutely right. on some level i do have sympathy for him.

but its like someone using a solarium. people know there are risks involved, much higher risks than just being out in the sun, yet they continue to do it. do i have sympathy for those people? not really..from a view that they took a risk and it didnt pay off.

do i have sympathy for a human being with cancer, of course i do. its not a good thing. i saw she-lishs grandmother die from breast cancer. she dwindled to a quarter of the woman she was when i met her. so i have been touched by cancer and i know how this feels for some.

i aplogise for sounding so cocky in my OP. it wasnt my intention.

would people be more surprised/shocked that a black man got skin cancer than if it was anybod else?
