HC it never ceases to amaze me how black folks and white folks can have grown up in the same country and yet one group be TOTALLY IGNORANT of the cultural dynamics of the other
HC yesterday I was talking to distraction
HC I mentioned the stereotype of AKA's (paper bag test, yada yada)
HC he had no idea what I was talking about
HC he didn't know about colorism at all
HC I was amazed at how people could not know about that
HC he was shocked that black people would discriminate against their own because of color
HC I remain amazed that anyone could have missed that!
HC GC, HC?
