Melanin

Melanin: The pigment that gives human skin, hair, and eyes their color. Dark-skinned people have more melanin in their skin than light-skinned people have. Melanin is produced by cells called melanocytes. It provides some protection again skin damage from the sun, and the melanocytes increase their production of melanin in response to sun exposure. Freckles, which occur in people of all races, are small, concentrated areas of increased melanin production.

Melanin Has become a proud statement in the back community as we are now more than ever embracing our culture , colour and hair .

Melaninny

Melaninny, (plural: melaninnies) - A combination of melanin and ninny (a foolish and weak person) who cares more about melanin levels of the person being discussed for pushing a race-based agenda of their own, possibly for their own gains or for a group of fellow, like-minded, melaninnies who are looking to capitalise from fuelling racial outrage, either socially, politically or financially but not exclusively so.

Synonym: Race-Baiter

Created due to a callout for a better word that fits the definition of a race-baiter but is not looking to just create an argument but for furthering a political, social or financial agenda.
We knew he was a melaninny when he began to push a race-based agenda where it did not apply to the case.
