EBONY & IVORY

Today I was on the phone with a white man from Walnut Creek. And he wasn’t “Jon B.” White either. He had a white wife, white picket fence, votes Republican (Except for Trump) & his favorite athlete is Tom Brady. He’s THAT white. 

While talking business I heard a familiar sound from his side of the phone but didn’t believe it to be true. A few sentences passed & I heard it again. After the 3rd time I asked “Is that your smoke detector beeping like it needs a battery?” 

AND IT WAS!!!!!!

I felt proud to be black. Like when you find out that more white people commit food stamp fraud than Black folks “proud”. 

That’s it. That’s the post.
