When I was about 7 I believed black people were black because they didn't shower enough.
Well, my gradma had this cleaning lady who was black. Once she was watering the plants in the backyard and I asked her:
-- Hey (her name), why don't you water yourself now and get rid of all the dirty??
My mom and grandma were ashamed for a long time. And now I'm ashamed also!!
LOL
