sooo now that I'm BLOWING UP this thread (hey, when you leave for like 6 hours what do you expect)
some things I'd like to point out now that I have time to catch up:
2. this is super embarrassing, but I figured someone would find my blondeness humorous. so I'm watching rockstar and because most of the routine I was blown away by their fierceness, it took me till the dance to realize/think i saw what I did. They were finishing up the dance, and I'm like, theres 5 guys on that team.... no, no there's not. there is a rather dark black girl on the team, that t first glance, i thought I saw another pair of pants. but her dance skills made me realize otherwise. i feel like a complete idiot.
I'm sure this wasn't meant to be offensive and perhaps maybe in some capacity it's a compliment.... But as a black woman I'm horribly offended...and if that the child from Rockstar ever sees this I'd wager shed be upset as well. And if she isn't. Kudos to her.
Reminds me of the time last year at my gym with a child of another race felt like it was okay to go up to a black girl and say "you're the blackest black person I've ever seen". Hysteria.
Next time Reread how you word things....and consider racial sensitivity.
