Appointment Uno...

Appointment One to the beach today was very successful....that bright skinded girl smiling at you in the left hand corner exists no mo'....in her demise a new born babe has been born. 4 hours of hard labor has produced a nicely brown skinded (bright red in some areas) "African-American looking" sista. No longer shall her skin tone be referred to as pink, orange, yellow, light, red, sherbert, or white. No longer shall she be "hollered at" by the names of red bone, red, yellow, light bright, or mami (cause she looks Puerto Rican)....nope she shall only be addressed as mocha chocolate, the brown sugar that she is....

....My dream seemed a wonderful idea....that is until I decided to carry my ass to Walmart today and the cashier asks me (in Spanish) if I'm Dominican. I just shook my head in disappointment. Maybe if I walk around with rollers in my head, house shoes, and a box of chicken in my hand they'll know I'm black!

Ignorance is bliss....

Hey Dayna, I came upon your blog and I must say - funny! Some guy even asked me something in spanish the other day, and I am as white as can be. And even though I don't have a car here on the beach, I agree with you on the gas prices ... freaking insane! PS - ever thought of copywriting? hehe
