The Boondocks by Aaron McGruder for September 22, 2019
Transcript:
Caesar: I met someone the other day with "Re-Vitiugo." Huey: "Re-Vitiugo"? You mean like, the Michael Jackson disease? Caesar: Actually, it's the opposite of the Michael Jackson disease. Instead of getting lighter, your skin gets blacker. The person I saw who had it was so black she made Wesley Snipes look like Colin Powell. Huey: Wow. I never heard of that. Who had it? Caesar: Your mother. Caesar: I have no regrets.

I have vitiligo. For the record, I’m Caucasian, but in the summer when the parts of my skin that still have pigment darken, it’s noticeable. It’s just in my hands. But I’m really self-conscious about it.
