Where. Is. Nia. Long.

I'm black and my boyfriend of 3+ years is Jewish. My family has *just* now stopped referencing it every time we hang. Moms and aunt grew up in a neighborhood that was predominantly Jewish right after white flight, so they grew up with tons of Jewish classmates and STILL asked me if they celebrate Thanksgiving! It's

I would start clapping at them too lol.

I've only had to call it once; because an unhinged guy in my store refused to leave and told me he'd kill me. Looked me dead-ass in the eye and said, "I'll kill you." And it wasn't even scary, I just though, "Well this is going to be a big hassle isn't it?" Shockingly the cops took him away without getting rough!

Or *nice* new undershirts, the kind from Sears. Because you know good and well every dad has a drawer full of decaying, yellow-pitted white tees.

I'm almost 30 and still the biggest Daddy's Girl who ever lived. Papa Chanadler Bong is the Ultimate Dad: he knows the year, make, and model of every car on sight. He wears the Black Uncle leather sandals with black socks every weekend, and he falls asleep after no less than 20 minutes sitting on the couch.

Same. One of my cousins' ex husband's became buddies even! When Ex #1 can be bothered to fly in and act like Daddy, he stays at Ex #2's house. Ex #2 has all the earth tones, incense and Asian art hanging. It is a very black scenario.

Every TIME a messed up news story comes on my parents wait with baited to see the mugshot/see the name.

I also enjoy saying "no" to my grandfather. He's an 80 year old black man who has fully embraced "pull your pants up" politics juxtaposed with a deep, deep hatred of Elvis for stealing our music. He is an enigma. I knew my ass was grown the last time he started blustering about some life choice I'd made and I got to

Saw it after I'd calmed down. Mistake.

Same. The event is a masterclass in trolling, though. Love the guys who posted it.

"Most guys wanna make out. I just want to hold you." That scene is so cringeworthy and relatable, even as an adult. And they followed it up so perfectly with a shell-shocked Lindsey coming home and silently bonding with Sam over their mutual struggles with dating. Reminds me of when my little brother and I started

It is surprisingly good. More melancholy than you'd expect but without being cheesy.

Oh man, I'm tearing up just thinking about that. He's so relieved/thankful to have good parents and so overwhelmed from empathizing with Neal all day….whoo. That scene was written perfectly.

Yep, Box of Frogs.

I'm afraid of being called/compared to her as well. You articulated it perfectly: "If I'm still fighting for my Black recognition she can't have it."

Aww, one of my cousins used to refer to herself as "Chinegro" because of her eye shape. Not adopted either, just the way her parents' features converged.

Same. There are some, white, WHITE-ass people way back in my bloodline and their blonde hair and pale freckly skin jumped right out onto me. This was pretty confusing to me as a kid and still shocks the hell out of some people now, and I'm almost 30. People have asked if I'm adopted, if I'm an albino, if I'm "full

Heh, I was astonished to the point of being insulting. He's a great cook!
