I answered, "I don't know sir, I was born blind, but if you'll give me a moment, I'll ask the gentleman sitting next to me," then I immediately disconnected the call. The gentleman who was sitting next to me happened to hear what I said, and at the same time had just put a canned drink to his mouth...he got choked and spit all of it out while laughing.

When I was working at Stop and Shop in the produce section a little white girl, not more than 10 years old was beside her mother who asked me where the tomatoes were. I told the woman and before they walked away the little girl said "how typical, a black person working in a supermarket". I'm dead serious yall. I almost lost it, but I calmed myself down and thought she's 10. The mother tried to excuse her daughters comment after she saw the shocked look on my face but I said "No, don't apologize, she can't be more than 10 years old, so she's obviously just repeating what she heard one of her parents say, namely YOU!". The lady got upset and said "I'm going to speak to a mana..." I cut her off and said "don't worry, I'll get him for you". The manager came over and apologized, but I didn't get in trouble because he knew I wasn't in the wrong. The lady stormed out of the store all red in the face dragging her daughter behind.

Hell to the nth NAW - don't physically smack'em. Picture this: Copenhagen many years ago, me ana partna strolling ona beach (during what they call Summer time). Wise guy me, walks to a yt bare breasted and tan'n and ask: whacha do n? She: tryna get like u! I politely say to her: no way!!! Soon as the Fall season arrives u'll return to your natural "pinkness" and I'll still be Black! Seeya!

If one ever phones me to ask, what color? What else can be the answer besides Black, always on the ready anyhow dealing with them folk?

So Celeste, when one expresses admiration re your tan, tell'km I know it! And strut away in one of dem struts that only rhythm bodied sistas do...naturally.
That can slap all the "self control" deeper in imploding! To stew on the inside and turn red on the outside. Maybe even from spontaneous combustion Burning in jealousy.

Huh?

Right on, dear Baba...

We can't really say **** as "black boys" or "back girls" because we were never slaves, those were generations past so I put the pity slave act behind and started acting like a person who isn't bound by the past.

Anyways, white people were also slaves at one point :3
so just be a hypocrite and laugh at that
