Calm down and see post 15:08[/quote]

No. I don't need to read every single post.

I am a calm, a calm black woman.[/quote]

No, you don't have to read every single post, but I think the PP's point was that you missed the true intent of the OP's question. It's about storytelling where race isn't a factor in the story, not when it's a useful description in a situation like you described in bold.[/quote]

My point is if you are comfortable with race you are not afraid of the words and they naturally are part of the story. But if you trip over the words you need to get more comfortable with the words and the only way to do that is to use them. It's like I tell my kids... USE YOUR WORDS.
