*Let's just get this out of the way right now. Yes, black people wash their hair. Do I hear you ask how often? As often as any other race: every day for some, twice a week for others, once a month for others. Get the picture? Great. Let's consider the matter buried then.
*Criminals scare us, too. We don't feel comforted by the fact that someone who's the same race as us is robbing us. Crime is crime suckers.
*"You speak so well" is something you say to a two-year-old who's just learned how to talk. No matter how well you mean it, stay away from that phrase
*If you have to say: "My black friend Lucy", then you have a problem. We will automatically put you in the same box as closet racists.
*Calling black women "sisi, sister or girlfriend" doesn't make you down with the people - it makes you sound patronizing.
*None of us represent the entire black race, so blanketed enquiries about why black people do this or that won't get you anywhere. We're individuals first before we are black.
*We can swim. Oh come, don't act like you weren't thinking about it. Some of us can even scuba dive and snorkel (but not me)
*We do like Chicken (especially Popeye's)but we ain't the only people to eat it!
*I am Ward....
