When I get a paycheck that is larger for the same amount of work.
When I apply for a home loan, and if declined, I know its because I didnt qualify, not because of my skin color.
I am sure there are lots more, but those are the ones off the top of my head...

I love you because you GET IT!
Black history month is needed, and I don't care what anyone says. We still have history books in GA that say "slaves came to the South to help the White people grow cotton." (paraphrased...I know someone is going to come in here and say "that's not the exact quote!") That clearly isn't what happened. Black history month is needed because there are more influential Black Americans besides MLK and Harriet Tubman, but most people (regardless of race) don't have the information presented to them.
