But see this is exactly what this article talks about, how dismissive the general population is of black women. It's sometime that strikes me pretty often when we're making fun of even some mockworthy names. We say oh, but we make fun of stupid white people names too and we do but would Preslee' resume be pushed to the bottom of the pile?
I'm kind of rambling I think. My thoughts are scattered in like three different threads this afternoon and none of them cohesive.

I think of this quote often.
Say what you will about the current Texas education fuckery, but that was a majorly eye-opening read for a 16-year-old taco.
I stopped posting because I was trying to be respectful. I was not trying to be disrespectful previously. It was made clear to me from your responses that I was off base and could not add anything to the discussion /was upsetting people. And I certainly did not wish to do that. This is obviously an area where I have nothing to add to the conversation. I will try to learn by reading and not actively participating.
