Before we get started, let me say Welcome, class!!!
This is African-American 101, commonly called Soul 101, a class for White people to learn about Black Culture, where we answer the often unspoken question: Why do Black people act in such a strange fashion?
Huh? You with your hand up?
Whaddya mean, you’ve never asked that question???
That’s right, class, turn and take a look at this one! She is known as what we Black people call “a liar.”
Anybody else wanna shot at it?
I didn’t think so.
Now, where was I?
Feel free to comment, or ask questions, as you see fit, ‘cause that’s the way we roll around here. If and when you comment, I promise not to edit you, because literary freedom works both ways. (Of course, you cannot edit moi, but you knew that.) Enjoy yourself, and invite a friend (preferably White, but Wednesday is Mexican Day. Thursday’s Asian. They make the best hot wings.)
Those of you who remember me from The Daily Advertiser, (the local Lafayette, Louisiana newspaper), know I keep it real. That’s the problem some people over there had with me.
(Shrug.)
Instead of changing identities, and continuing to play in their sandbox, I decided to build my own. Sandbox, that is. This way, I can write what I want, and you can respond in kind.
Fair enough?
Good!
