How To Be Black In America: A (Relatively) Short List

http://blackgirldangerous.org/new-blog/2013/8/2/how-to-be-black-in-america-a-relatively-short-list

2. Stop talking about racism. That's over. (see: black President)...

14. Don't have kids unless you're married. And everyone knows Black women can't find husbands so... just don't have kids. If you must have them, though, have daughters....

24. Tell people what aisle they can find the Ajax in. Because you obviously work at this Target even though you are wearing a suit. ...

27. Don't run. Unless you're on a football field. Black people running = something bad is happening. Unless it's sports.

4. Don't reach for your wallet. Or your cell phone.

5. Who told you it was okay to walk down the street??

6. Don't assert yourself. You're scaring people. Don't scare people so much.
