"I'm rich and I'm fey" That is a word not used much in the mainstream but I have to hand it to Joni. First for calling herself that because it takes a lot of guts to look at yourself squarely, and secondly because it is a word not used by white people. My dad who works in a place where 99% of people are black said he asked a friend of his if he'd ever heard of the word "fey" or "ofey." The guy wouldn't talk about it and walked away. Now I think of that word when I do contract work and some white executive says, "You seen the new strip mall down there? It has a Chipotle, a Starbucks, a Target and a Genghis Grill. It's great!!" Ofey. Joni was not the only black guy at the party but it seems that she tried really hard to see her own limited point of view for what it was. I appreciate that. - -Clint ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2013 #1118 ****************************** ------- To post messages to the list, sendtojoni@smoe.org.
