Funny satire about well-meaning college students. I’m sure a lot of us can relate to Caroline.

ROFL! Too much!

This was hilarious! I know people exactly like this!! Can somebody say, ‘Professional Time Wasting’? There have been many times over the years where I have felt all alone in a crowded room just like Caroline.

That brought back a memory of my undergrad days when a friend and I got all excited over a poster for an “African drumming circle” that invited everyone to participate. We showed up to find that we were the only brown (of any shade) people in the room.
Real Africans or African-Americans need not apply. They’re scary!
They did, however, have *drums* from Africa.

Aaminah do you mean a trackback? Wordpress is a bit hit or miss with those. If you want, repost it within a comment and maybe that’ll work.

Wow. I loved it! It hit the nail right on the head of how uncomfortable “liberal” america can be with race.

“Plus she was black.”
Ha. Cringe-worthy. Good stuff.

hehehehehehehehehe In my history class my sub(who we call our teacher since our real hostory teacher was gone for about 4 months) he said that we were going to a project on Black history month and goes on how we should alway keep in mind on all races of Americans who helped create this country(I wasn’t too sure what he was saying) Keep in mind we were doing our math HW and then the bell rung, we were going to our next class and he was still talking! We were prett much ingoreing him. Yes rude teenagers

[...] In other news [about me], I’m still kinda dealing with what I was talking about before…going to a place where I felt like I immediately belonged to the group, because of our shared cultural experience. And as time went by, it became abundantly clear that that was not the case at all. I had stumbled upon an online haven for esoteric white people. A place where they can congratulate themselves on their forward thinking and their interest in causes, though, for the most part, they remain untouched by policy/issues that affect those they discuss. Being an online atmosphere, as long as no one knew I was a POC, they could continue in sharing sometimes ignorant race rhetoric. Once I could hold my tongue no longer…well…I became Caroline.
