i get it. white girl guilt. well, i am pleased w/ my coming minority status. i so miss integration. shit. i used to have black friends. i never asked to touch their hair by the way.
i am SO PROUD of YOUR and our 1st black president. the absence of change is not HIS fault, but the racist GOP BULLSHIT for 8 years. i am good at hearing dog whistles too.
