You know what makes a woman eligible for an excellent match where I come from? ‘Fair’ color and inheritance.

For the longest time, given my slavish mentality- centuries of colonization- I felt like a lesser being talking to a poor white person who was clearly not educated, had blue eyes and yellow hair, you get my point. One day, long ago, I found myself feeling sorrier for the white homeless man than a black one. That’s how deep my conditioning was! White people weren’t supposed To be poor. They were the master race. Shudder. But I have learnt to see everyone as full of human frailty, capable of love and kindness even though I still feel like a second class citizen in usa.
