Are you a LATTE? I mean who refers to anyone that way?

I am Sharon.  I am not my skin color.   That would be hard to define since it changes with the sun.

    I don't know why but people do. I remember the Mayor of New Orleans said it was and will remain a "chocolate city".

    Was he chocolate, My 2?   See, for some strange reason  it's okay if you are also chocolate.  Or to be fair and equal, if you are white and knock whitey as I am very prone to do myself.

       There is this "code" built in that if we are one of some tribe or another, we can knock the tribe but others  cannot.   I'm white, I can knock whitey, while this mayor is probably black and he can kid with saying "chocolates", or his kindred spirits. 

       Kind of like some families.   We do not like it if someone attacks our mom or dad if we are the average human,  even if we do it ourselves all the time. That kind of mentality.    So, I guess I'll give them a break.  But just for argument's sake, I'm being a downer and saying that reeks of racism.  LOL

    But it sounds both yummy and racist, from my white side of the fence.    You see, I wonder why it must be "chocolate" and not neopolitan.  I'm reminded of the racist white-guys that they do not want to copy.    Oh, well.   There is racism on both sides of the color chart.  That all black or all white color chart.   I guess they think there is no room for other colors.

    Yes I believe he was "chocolate"...
    I did say it was necessarily racism just another example of someone using that sort of language.

    Oh no.  You did not.  Sorry. I never meant to imply that.  I meant that the black mayor was the racist, not you.    I was actually picking on the black guy this time.  I am an equal opportunity critic.  I don't think you are a racist.  Not anything I remember you ever saying.  You may BACK racists, yu may defend racists, but I don't think you think that they are racists, so it doesn't count as much.  So, no, I would not say that to you.
