Why do I have to read this now, of all days--especially when I am in a FOUL mood and have to make a response in the Delta Thread???
My only answer for you is to have buck-wild sex with a black man or woman for that matter and maybe you can see a day in the life of what it is like...
No really, Irishpipes, you are handicapping yourself with "white privelege" to attempt to scurry back into the "world" that you restrict yourself into understanding... And now that you have crossed a barrier or rather opened your "Pandora's Box" that you will be incapable of closing because your mind and your heart will not allow you to remain in this state, you can CHOOSE to take this opportunity to learn more about others different from yourself which will lead to greater understanding of yourself OR you can forever remain mediocre in your life of not yet understanding...
