Thank you, Casper. I've lurked for 7 years and still can't get the hang of it. It's all good.

Alright! Yay! That is a very cool poem. So much truth in it. I'm having fun being on the "other side" as a minority white woman in a traditionally black college. It's a real learning experience. I'm only one of two white students in every class of 50 or more. I now have the opportunity to clean out the stereotype closet by interacting in and studying about this culture and others in sociology classes and asking people if things are true or not. The first African-American literature class I took opened up a different look into the past than the one I was taught. I think it should be mandatory in all schools. Such a huge piece of American history is ignored. That's not fair. Anyway, it's been a real trip. I like Zora Hurston and Margaret Walker. I haven't read much of their works, but like what I've read, so far.

You said it so well, Chenoa. Such a pretty name, by the way.

White Dove

Thanks! Chenoa means white dove. I don't know which Native American language that's in, though. I'm part NA. I wish I could freely ID myself. I hate posing undercover to hide from my bazillion JW relatives. One or more might be on this board so I must be careful. I often wonder how many people I know on this board but am not aware of it. I might "come out" once my grandparents pass on. They deserve better than for me to break their hearts.
