Yho Jesu Wami, they are still playing that Ricoffy commercial on television. Is my skin too thin or are we being punished for being black again? You know what, I can laugh at myself but words fail me when insults like eating etiquette are roped in to make me and my blackness look bad.

Case in point is the Outsurance "myth defying" television ad. The stereotypes here are so spot-on and laughable that I don't really feel ostracised. And I do speak for everyone here.
