When I was young, my dad told me this "what it means to be black in the U.S." story. I never forgot it:

There is this high school with a faulty soda machine. If you kick the soda machine on its side, a soda comes out for free....

So one day the school principle and his secretary are walking by, and they see a group of H.S. white kids laughing, having a good time, and kicking the soda machine to get the soda.

The principle turns to the secretary and says, smiling, "Ahh..boys will be boys." They continue walking.

The next day the principle and his secretary walk by the soda machine again. The principle sees a group of black kids laughing, having a good time, and kicking the soda machine.

The principle turns to the secretary and says with a concerned look on his face, "It's time to fix the soda machine."


My dad is wise....
