Do you get ashy in the winter?

Well do ya?

Do I get ass in the winter? Otherwise I have no idea what you mean.

I get tired rather easily in the winter.

It's a situation unique to the those of African descent, isn't it?

Wait I think I know what he means. In the Army we had "cold weather" training and one of the symptoms of exposure was "ashy" complexion
for black people. But they never showed an example so I really never understood exactly what "ashy" was. I assume it means they get lighter.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

You may have an

I'm pretty sure that's it.

Somebody giving you a hard time, Mewa? jew want me and da boyz to rough somebody up for yaz?

Will you walk around outside next time it's cold and send a pic so we really understand?

And you may have some

Ashy Larry!!

I'm pretty assy most of the time.

Hey, ashy skin is from dead skin. White people have just as much dead skin, you just can't see it.

RACIST THREAD.

Forbin,

That's "gassy" with a "g"...

Pfft. The black dude thinks he knows ashy.

Is it a gassy assy?

Does your car have a classy chassy?

Do you ride in your classy chassy with your gassy assy and your lassie, and your dog who vaguely resembles Lassie?

Your gassy assy in your classy chassy with your lassie and Lassie?

Somebody stop me!!!

You can be as ashy as ashy gets and ya Ma still won't tell ya to go put on some lotion.

I assume ashy is just dry skin?

Get that all the time.

Also, get feliculitis when I was in my early twenties. The Doc told me that 99% of the time it presented itself in blacks.

I think maybe there's something my great grandma isn't telling anyone....

But does it look ashy? Is that possible for you?

No, looks more like white construction paper, of the lily kind.

Hey! Maybe Grandma didn't fool around!

Do your elbows get white? Ummmmmm, nevermind.

I don't know about my Ma, but in the winter my wife always tells me I should use some on my arms.

Wow, I'm learning new stuff today.

I've never used any kind of skin lotion because I didn't like the "greasy" feel. I found some that works well, though, and doesn't feel greasy.

I get really dry skin in the winter. Once the furnace is running every day, I have to moisturize every night before bed or else contact with the sheets makes me itch like crazy.

The condition first presented when I was in my 20s. I didn't know what it was until I finally went to a dermatologist after about 1/4 of my body was covered with dry itchy patches. Super-lotion cleared it up, and now I just use a little lotion with aloe every day in the winter.

Blacks use lotion every day of the winter.

I could probably do that, too, but I don't. Mainly because my "dead cells" aren't as visible.

Dang!! If you had my Mom, you woulda been using lotion from age 1 and never had those dry itchy patches.

So, at the risk of sounding racist, gay, or both, that's probably why wrestling a black dude always felt different.




You're welcome, Tex.

I bet you wanted to give him a Charmin squeeze rather than a bearhug.

You can be sure it never looked like I had Willie Nelson in a headlock.
