i know how it is  
i’m a light skinned black guy who grew up in a majority white town, went to a white private school til 8th grade & then to my towns public high school which was probably 15% total minority (blk & latino)

i’ve seen ignorace from both sides…not being liked by whites because i was black & not being liked by blacks cause i wasn’t black enough.

my wife is white…been married for 4+yrs & dated 8yrs prior to that…the stories her & i could tell…ignorat comments, being watched in the stores, police stops, etc…  
& from anyone that know me will tell you i’m i very far from being a “thug” type.

ive been there & done that… so all of you don’t have to tell me about what happens, who does what, how people are precieved…etc…

so god forbid we have a magazine named “ebony” and a ghetto TV station with the word black int ht title…big fucking woopdy doo…let it go.
