You Are What You Is

Quite the unbelievable story this: man discovers he’s black at age 26:

When the baby born to two white parents came out black, the secret became a lie. Throughout his childhood, David Myers was told that his skin color was a disease called melanism. He was lucky, his mother said, because the skin discoloration was all over his body, instead of just splotches of brown like most people had.

One thought on “You Are What You Is”

  1. This is a very sad tale of deceit and dysfunction.

    I know it’s true because that USED to be my
    middle name (deceit/dysfunction).

    Now my middle name is ennui. That’s MISTER ennui to you.
