I used to stare at deaf people the few times I saw them. But that was because I was genuinely interested in learning more about signing. As fate would have it, my fiance is fluent in sign. His parents are deaf and his stepfather is deaf, so he's known sign since he was just a little kid. Now, I have someone to help me become more fluent in signing. I'm not very good at it, but the few people I've signed to seemed to enjoy my attempts. But I wouldn't think too much of the people that stare; they probably are curious about sign language and find it just as interesting as I do.

The word 'Boo' is just a term of affection. It is very similar to being called Baby or Honey. I've haven't heard very many whites use the term but I have heard it a lot. Check out my email ID.

You have to realize that a lot of darker black women grew up with a "color complex." I am considerably lighter than some of my friends and family, and I was usually singled out as the "pretty one" with the "good hair." Thankfully, none of my cousins or my sister holds this against me, but one of my closest friends takes offense whenever we are out together and a guy asks for my number and not hers. She always claims it is because I am light with long hair. I try to say otherwise, but she won't hear it. I have found out that it takes a long time to erase the years of hearing from parents or other relatives to "take your black ass on" or something to that effect. I hope your friend will someday be able to understand she has worth, no matter what her color.

I thought I was the only one to notice this. I've noticed this especially with children. Usually the parents are obviously black but the kids are obviously biracial. This kind of casting can be seen in television shows and even in print ads of 'black' magazines. I am not certain why so many light-skinned people are chosen for commercials, etc., but I am disappointed in the lack of variety in shows and ads.
