I'm of slavish descent but since 1996 I've been afro american. That's when I needed to get promoted and needed to use affirmative action to work for me. Since then I have been Afro american. I got married again 2 years ago and the clerk at the court house asked me my race. I told her Afro american and she comn' now. I said that's it, don't insult me again. She did the paperwork without a word.
