When I was 9 My parents took me to toys-r-us to get a GI Joe. I picked the black one which really irritated them “but ur white”?! Yea, no shit.

I think I was like six years old when I talked to someone, and he said no hablo English, and I freaked out, because it was the first time that I encountered someone who spoke a different language.

Years later, Sesame Street would start showing segments in English and Spanish.

I wonder if having absolutely no white friends until I was 6 is why I don't give a shit about race. Everyone I knew back when I was living in San Jose was Mexican, Black or Asian. I have no memories of playing with any other white kids until my family moved to the central valley when I was 5 going on 6.

Yuuup, people don’t believe me when I say that my pasty white butt was in the minority growing up. I’m pretty sure my middle school in SJ was about 50% Vietnamese only, not even accounting for other POCs.

I can't remember who said it. Chris Rock, maybe?

If there are 10 Black kids in a school with 500 White kids, the White parents will tell you their school is integrated

If there are only 10 White kids in a school with 500 Black kids none of the parents think the place is integrated.

My sister saw a black Cabbage Patch kid in Toys R Us and said "Ewww - burnt baby."

A kid in a train with her mother. Black person comes in, the kid goes "mom look, a monkey".

Yikes

When faithful Mormons get their own planet to rule over in the afterlife, they do this. Not many people know this.

Reminds me of this song: https://youtu.be/egxzdZ_dUP0?is=lqS7qcixm11mvojY

If MJ could do that whole arc in reverse, why should it be impossible?

MJ had medical conditions and tried to make the best of them. It's also cool to let the man rest now.

Edit: what offensive thing did I say?

Nobody gives a fuck about letting a notorious pedo rest.

Thank you for at least some explanation. I still don't think it's necessary to talk shit about his medical issues.

It's like the bizarro version of the Mormon story of the Lamanites.
