You may be interested to know that around the turn of the centery (1900), when X-Rays were new and the Klan was on the rampage that some doctors tried to turn blacks white by bleaching them with X-Rays. Of corse this didn't work out as the ruslting radiation poisoning lead to a painfull and gruesome death. Please note that the doctors were well meaning and had the goal of giving these people a better life, but were not able to anticipate the effects of the radiation. Perhaps, useful as a be-yourslef precautionary tail. Don't know where the sex goes, though.

PS: As to the mention earlier in the thead of Ebonics, I'm writing a shorty that has some. Here's a snipit (of what will likely be the only use of ebonics in the story): Comments?

At about eight o'clock, the three girls hopped off a bus in the seedy Englewood district, and were immediately greeted by the foul stench of a city in heat. With the temperature still at 32° C, and humidity north of 80% the girls were glad to be wearing their rather immodest attire. As the girls waited for their transfer, Debora remarked, “Englewood sure has fallen downhill fast.” “What neighborhood isn't going down the toilet,” Tamica asked rhetorically. Their conversation was suddenly cut short as a tall dark and handsome mid-twenties male swaggered up, inquiring, “Hey home girls, what'z goin' on?” Debora's inward groan at the outbreak of ebonics, was muted by his dazzling smile and she responded almost in unison with the other two, “We goin' to the cluub.” Mary flashed her own dazzling smile and added, “You comin' with?” With a feint sign of disappointment, he replied, “Nah, that'z a'right. I got some serious digi-groves goin' on back in the apartment. How 'bout you girls come back and party with me? How much you want?” Mary's laughing reply was, “You think we hoe's... shit that'z a'right, I'll take yo money though.” His response was, a nod, a point, a wink, a click of the tung, and a “Bingo baby.” Seconds latter the the corner was bathed in pulsating blue light.

Note on context: the girls are black, and their future tormentor is white. But he is the kind of guy that likes torment anybody he can get his hands on, and doesn't make an issue of race, color, age, or even gendar.
