i used to think the color of african americans skin was black because God had a chocolate pouring machine and he put some white babies on it and it would pour chocolate on them. i concluded that their palms were white because their palms were down on the conveyor belt so they didnt get any chocolate on them. then once i saw my black friend get water on his arm from the water fontain and i thought that his arm would turn white.
