Geometrically, an extremely poor person who [lives in a poor country and] cannot feed their family or themselves has much more chances of dying young [of starvation], regardless the race. But technically, in a civilized wealthy nation where a person can hardly starve, it is obvious that darker skins are very much stronger than lighter skins; darker skins can survive more in the sun without getting a burn, than lighter ones which will get brutally burnt if it stays up to the time when the darker one gets the burn in the sun; therefore the darker skin resists ageing of the skin more, and makes it possible for the person to live longer; the lighter skin has less skin-layers and therefore easily collapses during old-ageing, therefore making the person get old quicker and die. Regardless the race, anyone with a very dark skin lives longer than anyone with a very light skin tone. Tanning makes no difference, but toning (or bleaching) makes a difference because when all outter skin layers are elliminated to get a lighter skin, the skin becomes weaker; but when it is tanned by heat, it only gets a fierce hot pressure to look darker but is still weak because no additional skin layer has been added to the skin.

Generally, a very healthy Black person lives longer than a very healthy White person. (No racist intention.) According to public health service epidemiologists, whites do tend to live longer than blacks in the U.S. Many reasons are cited for this, including: - genetic tendency towards hypertension, obesity and prostate/Breast cancer among blacks - better accessibility to health care, being more fully insured, better prenatal care -lower risk behavior, including lower rate of drug use, incarceration and lower rates of homicide, esp among 18-25 age group
