Jasmine hurt Huey’s feelings. Oh my.
Ive read some of the series of Benjamin January books by Barbara Hambly and learned the historical distinction between colored and black
Learned a lot of other stuff too, good books
I had a Black friend from New Orleans who described the people who dominated the upper income Black social scene there as the Beige-oisie.
