Reply #67: What white people call anger, black people call passion.

[truth please]

I have on several occasions been asked by my white neighbors "Why are you angry" and I look at them with confusion. I sometimes wave my hands or move around a little and white women grab my arms and tell me to calm down. I look at them like they're crazy because I am not mad, just excited about what I am talking about. So maybe this is one of those cultural things, where passion means anger if it is coming from a black person.

I have also found in my almost 53 years that racism trumps vagina in many situations. I pray everyday that things will change and you will be judged by deeds and not race. I think that's what the place the Obama's are trying to bring this country to. As I have said in an earlier post, my Great Grandmother who was Jewish couldn't even look or speak to her own flesh and blood. I touched her arm when I was 9 and you would have thought her skin was going to fall off by the look in her eyes. She went to the grave with her hate and we are living just fine without her.
