Show me a documented case of black Americans in all 400 years of American history (besides anything modern era) were catching skin cancer?
My opinion 
If u from up north and go to south Florida ur gonna run into problems esp light skins. If u grew up around that kind of sun u develop an immunity to it.
I’m a peanut butter brown and never burnt in the Georgia sun even when I went to Florida beaches. I just get blacker

The first descriptions of cancer are documented in Egyptian papyri dating 2500 BC. Hippocrates described nonulcer and ulcer forming tumors, which he named carcinos (Greek for crab) as these tumors had finger-like projections resembling a crab. Celsus later used the Latin term for crab, cancer, to refer to tumors.Show us proof of our ancestors using ancient sun screen

Dark Skin Tones and Skin Cancer: What You Need to Know - SkinCancer.org
“Anyone can get skin cancer, regardless of race,” she says. While incidence of melanoma is higher in the Caucasian population, a July 2016 study in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology showed it is more deadly in people of color. African American patients were most likely to be diagnosed with melanoma in its later stages than any other group in the study, and they also had the worst prognosis and the lowest overall survival rate.
Most skin cancers are associated with ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or from tanning beds, says Dr. Perez. Yes, darker skin produces more of the pigment called melanin that does help protect skin — but only to a certain extent. People of color can still get sunburned, and they can also develop skin cancer from UV damage.
It’s of concern that 63 percent of African American participants in a survey said they never used sunscreen. This needs to change, says Dr. Perez. “Remember, ethnicity does not define skin type. It can represent a wide range of skin tones with a wide range of risks.” To avoid premature aging and damage that can lead to skin cancer, everyone should use sunscreen every day and practice sun-safe habits, such as seeking shade and wearing protective clothing, hats and UV-blocking sunglasses.
Additionally, certain skin cancers are caused by factors other than UV — such as genetics or environmental influences — and may occur on parts of the body rarely exposed to the sun. For example, people who have dark skin are more susceptible to acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM), an especially dangerous form of melanoma that typically appears on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. (The Jamaican singer and musician Bob Marley died of ALM when he was only 36.)"
