    The first time I saw a black person as a kid, I was staring… as young kids do… The guy notices and engages by showing the palms of his hands and saying something along along the lines of “Look. Not all of my skin is black.”

    Apparently that scared the crap out of young me

    My mom still likes to tell that story sometimes
