What happened was, I started a thread were you made up sims of who you imagined someone on the forum to look like, and then they would make up their own sim in return of what theay really looked like. Well, I thought it'd be cool to make up a sim of pitbulllady, just to show off what I imagined her to look. Well, pitbulllady writes back to me and she is really, really mad. Telling me that she was very insulted of what I pictured her to look like, and she specifically stated, "I look absolutly nothing like that, I'll have you know that I am a black woman." And that was it.

ROTFLMAO, big-time! It's so funny you said that, because I got a call a few weeks ago from a Black lady in Chicago who'd more or less "inherited" a Catahoula Leopard Dog from a recently-deceased relative, and was having a real handful with this 100+ pound dog that clearly had a mind of its own(as all Catahoulas do). After about 10 minutes into the conversation, she said that I was only the second "sister"(the other being herself)who had one of these dogs, and she was glad she'd called me. I had to tell her that I was as White as can be, pure Celtic if ever there was. She was quite startled to hear that, but she was dead-on in her explanation, saying, "I bet you were raised by a Black woman, though, weren't you?" She is quite correct, in that I WAS more or less raised by a Black woman, Lucille Muldrow, because my mother was a manic depressive who wanted very little to do with her kids. My only playmates(humans, anyway)besides my brother, who is mildly autistic, were local Black kids, mostly "Seal's" grandkids. I also have taught school in rural districts that are 70-98% Black, and live in a county that's 80% Black, so I guess that many of the phrases, speech patterns, and what-not have inevitably rubbed off on me, to the extent that I do sometimes fool people on the phone. The lady in Chicago and I wound up talking for a very long time, and she concluded the conversation by saying, "You may be White, but 'far as I'm concerned, you still a SISTAH!" I was touched, really, and felt honored that she felt that way about me.
