Empowerment..

A commercial came on the other day about Black History Month. My roommate proceeds to ask, "Wait, when is that?" and I say February. To which she says: "Ewwww now the black people are going to feel all empowered!"

I got pissed, the conversation turned sour, and a for a good while it was sufficiently awkward in my apartment. But at least I defended my views. And I'm glad to know I am not a narrow-minded, racist, bigot.
