I used to believe that my Dad was the tallest man in the world, thanks to my Mum being so proud at how tall he was. Then one day at the department store a rare black man that was a great deal taller than my Dad walked past us and I remember being so stunned, not at the fact that he was black, but the fact that he was taller than my Dad. I asking my Mum about that and her reply was that blacks are like that. I still never understood her answer and she wouldn't elaborate...
