Of course it started in Texas, lol, why wouldn't it? :D
I remember when I was a kid and I saw a "black" person for the first time. I was 3 and he was one of the students of my father who was a karate coach. I was not a shy kid, never, lol, and I asked that person the following question "Why do people say you are black when you are brown?" :D :D :D I was so convinced that I was right that I even brought a black notebook with me to show him what the black color was. I was convinced that adults did not know colors :D
Anyway, I loved your post and wanted to share this with you :) Enjoy your day! 💚
Of course it did, I just told you the story. Do you doubt me?
That is funny about the black and the notebook. I am about to call it a night it is 12:30AM on Monday and I need some sleep. You have a great day too.
At 6 mom worked at an inner city after school program for teens and id go with her to their playground. I asked her coming home one day, can black people sunburn? At six, i learned about melanin. lol my darker friends hear this story to this day and laugh and laugh. :)
