    Well, that explains a lot right there...

    >My own mother found my buff body distasteful, though it would have taken Gitmo to make her admit it (my family deputized a representative to ask me if I was gay)<

    For the love of God, Debs--could you _please_ either work out your self-hatred in therapy, or go home and bury the hatchet with your family? You are fooling no one with your concern-trolling about black folks and pretending to care--you hate being black and it shows in every single "helpful" piece you write. Why not duke this out with your family instead of trying to make the rest of us feel like shit? You are as bad as SALON's resident misogynists who also should take their issues up with their moms instead of trying to torture the rest of us.
