I have red hair too and yes I am black.
It suck thats you went though that people are jackasses but but know this it aint comparable at all.
I'm not comparing the suffering of all black people in America of past and today to my own.
I just wanted to say i know what it is to be separated because of a biological attribute. I was just responding to a post saying i don't know what it is to be treated as a minority (as a white).
And everyone sees me as a white here. You see. I'm not a white colour person nor a red hair person. Please.
