Maybe Inappropriate - but whatever

It's cold in NYC right now.  After work I usually walk one mile to catch my train but today I decided to take the cross town train to save me from the blistering wind.  While speed walking through Grand Central Terminal, up and down stairs to get the subway, I was reminded of a couple things.  They are probably not even 1% politically correct to admit but I've felt this way for a long time.

Sometimes I think it would be really cool to be a big fat black lady. Here are my reasons why:

• Infectious Laughter
• Get to call people sweetheart or hun without sounding demeaning
• Culturally considered sexy even when above average sized
• Proud of Ethnicity and the features it gives them
• Can dress and accessorize outrageously
• Just don't seem to give a hoot about crap that doesn't matter
• Give good solid hugs
• Seem Jolly

Now, I have nothing to base the above on except my own observations.  While on the subject; i think it would also be cool to be an older skinny black man.  Here are my reasons why:

• Get to call people sweetheart or hun without sounding demeaning
• Dress sharp
• Can pull off a suit and hat just going to the corner store - like no other
• STEREOTYPE ALERT - Maybe be a great harmonica player or jazz musician
• STEREOTYPE ALERT - Can dance

 I really hope that no one is offended by this. And don't get me wrong, I am happy being me, but if I could just fora  day be someone else to see what it was like, I would try the above people first.
Then I would be a subway driver next.  I think that would be an awesome job - for a day.

So instead of this:

I get to be this:

and I like that.
