Tsk, tsk, tsk
I just read an email exchange wherein a public figure was said not to be Black, irrespective of physical evidence. Which, of course, evoked the "what is Black anyway" question, and the "well, certainly not you" rejoinder, and aahhh…
Can we all agree it's possible for a Black person to be totally fucked up? That way we don't have to have the discussion about whether or not to "de-list" they ass. We just get on with identifying and responding to the error.
And while I'm at it, can we agree that an editorial cartoon of, say, Dr. Condoleeza Rice that did NOT have prominent lips and a gap in the teeth would not be recognized? Since I'm addressing silly distractions that should never have been considered seriously in the first place, I just though I'd mention that.
