Let's put that into sharper perspective, shall we? If this current generation of delicate "snowflakes" had been around in the 40s, we'd all be speaking German or Japanese!  photo PERSPECTIVE_zps1nzn1g8j.jpg

And to think, forty years ago blacks were telling each other to have a “Black Christmas”.

Hmm,

I’m dreaming of a black Christmas

I’m dreaming of a yellow Christmas

I’m dreaming of a mulatto Christmas

none of those seem to work...

I’m dreaming of a raghead Christmas

No, that doesn’t work either.
