color me black

Just goes to show the racist thing doesn't make any sense, it's just shades of color.

I'm so white, I'm blue.
Getting a tan used to mean you were rich and could afford the life of reilly. Red necks were related to hard work in the fields.

I've often wondered about that myself, the popularity of tanning in a racist society. I've heard people say that they feel and look better with a tan, healthier, more robust, and somehow, roasting in the sun to achieve a darker skin color is just not associated with their feelings about people of color, whatever they may be. Somehow, one has nothing to do with the other. Go figure.

As you can see from my avatar, I have a very healthy tan.

I also wonder about that - makes not a bit of sense to me....
