I had been searching for Kiri Davis’ video A Girl Like Me, and now I have found it. This classic text demonstrates, among other things, why the claim to “colorblindness” is a pure and absurd luxury.

ADVERTENCIA AL LECTOR.
1. While writing here is an excellent exercise for my English style and for writing as such, it is bad for my style in Spanish. Therefore some posts may be in languages other than English.
2. Corybantic, rather anarchical and possibly Liangian, this blog is opposed to everything I find mean. It criticizes things you may hold dear. It resists authoritarianism and received ideas. It vaporizes Fascists.
3. This blog is a codex you have found. It speaks to one and all. But it also holds secrets and hides its face, for I who now perform the ancient text must adapt its words for modernity. I am a sculpted skull on a stela at Copán.
SE LES AGRADECE LA GENTIL COMPRENSION Y, COMO SIEMPRE, LA VISITA.

Z … RE; La. budget surplus … One word OIL.
OMG you are of course right and even I knew it – but I would love to hear more (I really have not been watching or analyzing) – why did we finally get this $, have we already benefited from changes in what we take in from the offshore leases, or is it just the price?
I am going to ask around about this this very day.
Why would anyone want to be colorblind? There are so many beautiful colors and shades. It’s the heart and mind that needs change. Peace to you professorz!
Have you read Toni Morrison’s “The Bluest Eyes?” When you have time I am sure the library will have it and it is written so smoothly that it is one of those books that are easy to read (fast) but stays on your mind. Every time I see this video I think of that book.
I haven’t read Bluest Eye in about 20 years and should revisit! And yes, this is the other point – *why* be ‘colorblind’ … I like this version of my name, btw, professorz … !
