You Know You were Born/Raised "Black" When...

[pinkies up]

^^^LOL!!! What about at the end of church service when everyone joins hands and sings "Reach out and touch somebody's hand"?

For the food: How come my grandfather mixed his bacon, eggs and grits together in one pile on the plate? Then, how come my dad did it too? It's all goes down in one tube...

For the church service: Aside from the Miss Haynes who's 100, and sings some song no one can hear and rocks the mic for the chorus, how come as a child, you had to kiss all the elderly folks?

For family: How come my mother was the foremost authority on family decisions, caregiving for my grandmother and was the CEO-CFO of the household? Like, my dad had to give her his check and she gave him an allowance...

My dad: "I may the head, but yo mama's da neck, an you cain't do anythang without the neck..."

2. Church is jam packed on Easter Sunday.

3. That one deacon prays that same prayer every single Sunday!
