I had a strange thing happen to me today, and I just wanted to ask a question about it.

I was at a department store, and I was waiting in line to pay for my purchases. There was an elderly lady (I would guess in her 80s) standing by me, and as we were waiting, we started talking. She made the comment that I have "good hair" and "good skin" just as her granddaughter walked up. Her granddaughter looked at her in horror and said, "Nana, she's not black!" The lady looked at her, and then at me, and then patted my arm and apologized. I told her there was nothing to apologize for, and she gave me a wink.

What I was wondering is if "good hair", or features, or skin are something that is still considered desirable by older African American people. Unless I am mistaken, she was saying that I look like I am Caucasian. I was not offended in any way, but I did wonder if that stuff is still considered important by some people.

Any input you can offer is appreciated. Thanks!

MOBO awards (Music Of Black Origin) is a "normal"& accepted event but I think it's wrong. A "Music Of White Origin" wouldn't ever be allowed because it screams racism & white supremacy does it not? If there were "MOWO" awards, there would be an uproar. And it's not just the type of music, some of the black artists songs don't fit into the R&B etc category & are not "black" in origin at all. What do you think?

Don't they realize that God doesn't like boastful people, and how can they be sure when the rest of us just hope?

There's an urban myth going around that the boy in the Frosties ad who sang "They're gonna taste great" didn't real kill himself but that the story of his suicide was just an urban myth.

Having visited his actual grave in South Africa myself with friends (we cried, we prayed, we sang "They're gonna taste great" softly) I have to ask - is teen suicide the great taboo of our times? Is this poor dead boy's cry for help to be buried under a million Internet sites all claiming that he is still alive because we cannot face the issue of bullying head on?

I am slowly embarking on a spritual/religious enquiry journey slowly but surely. As I have started to pray I don't know if I'm suppose to feel anything. Currently, it feels like I'm talking to myself. Is it like this for you?

Because of their insistance on a literal interpretation of the Bible.

I have noticed this with people in the banking and investing proffessions mostly. You could be talking about something totally off topic and they start talking about interest rates or something. You feel like telling them to shut up. What do you think might be their problem?
