So, when you were reading the book, you might have picked up on this kind of rhythm. Where I come from, people were in a color spectrum between really light skinned to really dark, and that's because for three hundred years there's been a lot of Black people. Even during the slave days, they would escape and run to the Southwest where they couldn't be enslaved, and lots of Black guys would marry. That's maybe another aspect of why you like the book because the experience I talked about is very close to yours and yours is very close to mine. Copyright 1995 Kaleidoscope .
