the question was describe the first time you were teased about being black or uncomfortable ?

I've seen Common's version and he discusses a time he went to a store and a little white child followed him saying B-L-A-C-K.

Now if you take that into perspective and realize that Philly is a segregated city ,so Jill's first brush with feeling uncomfortable about her blackness was with her own people.Trust me , the first time someone called a deragotory name was a black person and it was "blacky" . (And if you know me you are probably scratching your head wondering how the hell someone called me blacky, they were much lighter than me)

Yes Philly is that segregated , especially in the 70's when she would have experienced this incident. So her first experince wasn't with a white person but with a black person.



Just my little theory.
