Okay, I really tried not to focus on the recent comments of Grammy Award winning Musician, John Mayer and his reference to black women in a recent Playboy interview. (www.Playboy.com) But me, being me, I just couldn’t keep from feeling anger at his reference to David Duke and white supremacy when it comes to his personal ‘member’ and black women. I was equally disappointed that he felt he had a freedom to continue to make things worse by placing a black woman he admires in a very kinky context.

The picture wasn’t in the best of shape. Over time, it suffered cracks and folds, sun and chemicals not meant for old black-and-whites.
You suppose the people in the picture might be relatives; grandparents, maybe, or greats. They appear to be at a carnival, and though it might’ve been summertime, he’s dressed in a suit and she’s wearing a heavy dress with long sleeves.
They’re not smiling.
