Sometimes I wish I was black, there are definite perks. 1. Never getting called pasty again 2. Not getting sunburned as bad (they claim they still burn, but nowhere near as easily) 3. Running faster 4. Jumping higher 5. Being better at basketball 6. Being better at sports in general (except swimming of course, but I was never into swimming) 7. Being able to dress in bright colors and sweet Nike shoes without anyone really caring 8. Being able to dress like a thug (if anyone says anything, I can always just claim its my culture or something) 9. Being able to say the N-word every sentence 10. Being able to get into college easier with minority status 11. Being able to claim victim status if anything goes wrong in my life 12. Never getting accused of being racist, even if I killed a white man Yep, being black would be great.
