You blowing me with 6 and 7. I know people like to hate on Coldest Winter Ever, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't love every word of it. And I've read it twice. (I don't remember how old I was, but it's definitely on my bookshelf).
I think what I liked most about it is that it was nothing like my "real" experience. I wasn't in a gang or didn't have a drug-dealer dad so the mindset of the book was just foreign and alluring to me.
and Love Jones, girl, bye. I know EVERY word.
Anyway, you are black b/c black people don't fit in any kind of box. We're diverse and you went to an HBCU of all places. I'm pretty sure that's enough.
T,
attending an HBCU cant be a qualifier when we had straight russian chicks in there. HBCU does not equal black only.
as far as coldest winter ever, it had that appeal because it was nothing like my experience but i just was not feeling it. i cant remember why. i read it twice and it simply left a bad taste in my mouth.
i know im black, just not in any stereotypical sense. the hallmark of my spelman experience was learning about how diverse the african diaspora really is. this post was mainly poking fun at myself.
thanks for reading, boo!
Smh... I have about half of that in common with you, and I am definitely BLACK! truth be told if a redneck saw u he wouldn't question ur blackness. He wldnt ask what music u listened to, what food u ate...
I know this list was just in jest but...
LOL you crack me up Antithesis. LOL @ #5
