Dominic Forgives Me Daily for Being So White

Recently, Dominic bought an acoustic guitar magazine with Jack Johnson and Ben Harper on the cover. When I saw it I said:

"Hey! Did you know Ben Harper is black?"
"Uh--yeah."
"Oh, well, wow. I totally didn't know Ben Harper is black."

I was greeted with a look with which I am fairly familiar now, one that borders between faint amusement and weary exasperation. It's a look that says, "My god, what have I married?"

Well, I'll tell you what you've married -- a racially insensitive piece of pale white cornbread from the deep South who was blown away that Ben Harper is indeed a black man, or at least interracial.

Good luck with that, dude.
