Even worse shit to justify opinions…the co-worker who will sometimes invoke her “1/8 Cherokee”, that guy in my science class who brought up that he is “4% black”, or that date who brought up that he has some “black in him” but his mom passed for white (good for her…).

4% Black” though.

“4% Black” ya’ll. 

4% Black

I can not.
