Professor, if you were a Person of Color
Professor , if you were a Person of Color...
Yo, hode up, the professor said. I'm not a person ?
Of Color!
So, I'm a colorLess person? A person-of-colorLess?
No, I mean, yes. No, You're white . Right ?
I'm a Person-of-white?
No. Yes. A white person.
As opposed to a ? I noticed you put the adjective in front of the noun this time.
If you had darker skin...
[Class goes wild ]
Calm down, the professor says. Calm down.
Shaniqua, turn off the light switch, would you please.
[Shaniqua turns off the lights and it's much darker. The professor is much, much darker].
Thank you, Shaniqua. So, I'm *MORE* colorful now??
[Professor starts dancing, Shaniqua turn back on the light, the class goes wild.]
You were saying? the professor yells as he shakes his booty.
