There was an African American contestant that had a very good chance of winning a million dollars and we were getting into the excitement of the game when all of a sudden she pipes up, "Mom, I am sure glad that God didn't make me Black." I was a bit stunned by her comment so I asked her why. She said "Well, I really don't like to have my skin painted." Through my laughter I explained to her that God didn't actually paint their skin, He made it black to start with. That seemed to comfort her because then she replied, "Oh, well that's ok, then. I could be Black. I think it would be fun because I LOVE their hair!" If only the rest of society had the innocence of a child.......
