Hey black man...how are ya

I was walking to the sandwich place for my lunch, past the bank of america entrance.
It was already 15 mins past 12 and had to rush back for a meeting at 1:00.

"Hey black man ..how are ya..."
"

Looked as if someone was calling me

I turned back, completely and utterly bewildered to see who the heck was that calling me one.

It was another black fella..

A flood of thoughts swept me over..(Naah..no tsunami similies here...)

For a second, I was like, am I really tht coloured that a black man could mistake me for one.

If you could plug in a head phone into me and listen, you would have heard a zillion expletives

hurtling out far greater in numbers than the Tsunami aid amount.

I looked at him quizzically, he saw me and said "hey man how r ya".

I dint knw if I shud react to that. Then I saw another 'bro' coming out of the bank.

The smile returned, I mumbled something and off I went :-)

Fast forward to the sandwich place..

I was thinking of this again. Then I remembered seeing others blacks in

the bus, that have as much brown skin as Indians and

wondering "Boy..if not for that THICK lips, this

guy could pass off as an Indian..only if he dint open his mouth."

Now dont ask me why I was looking at a guys' lips.

I wasnt. I just look at girlie lips and morphed that into a guy :D

Well anyway, coming back to the topic, Itz not a bad thing to be called a

blackie afta all iz it :)

U do get the blondes...that way :D

Only if I did not open my mouth as much....;)


and BTW...I need proof that u read this..attendance please :)
