    This reminds me of a narrative I heard years ago which went: A black man walks into a cafe one early morning and noticed that he was the only black man there. As he sat down, he noticed a white man behind him. The white man said, ‘Colored people are not allowed here…’ The black man turned around and stood up. He then said, ‘When I was born I was black,’ ‘When I grew up I was black,’ ‘When I’m sick, I’m black,’ ‘when I’m cold I’m black,’ ‘When I die I’ll be black.’ ‘But you sir…’ ‘When you’re born you’re pink,’ ‘When you grow up you’re white’ ‘When you’re sick, you’re green,’ ‘When you go in the sun you turn red,’ ‘When you’re cold you turn blue,’ ‘And when you die you’re purple.’ ‘And YOU have the nerve to call ME colored?’
