"'how do you fit such brilliance in such an ugly, ethnic head?'"


          

as a person of color, have you ever had your intelligence pedestaled?

...

i was in adams morgan about 5 years ago talking to a friend on a stoop. suddenly, a drunk white guy overheard me say the word 'precisely'.

he rushed over and gave me a handshake - with an incredulous expression & a low hanging lip.

from that day, and to this. everytime me and my buddy use a 'big word' we offer the other a handshake.

'... good word'
