Four Log Cabins

Comic Sam Adams says, “If somebody’s dark like me, we say he’s black. If they’re light, we say white. Think about it. Those are the two blandest colors in the crayon box. Is that how we want to describe ourselves?” But color is one of the questions on the census form. So, Sam decided to find his own TRUE color. He went to a hardware store, to the paint section. He grabbed those little paint swatches and compared them to his skin. If you call him black, he won’t be offended. But his TRUE color is a shade of brown called, “chocolate indulgence.” He claims, “All you folks who’ve been told you’re white? You’re not white. You’re a shade of pink called, ‘papaya smoothie.’ Or maybe you’re ‘rose taupe.’ Find your own TRUE color. Then report it to the government. Maybe if they see we’re not just black and white, they’ll look for more important issues to solve.”
