"You know, it’s funny...I know this makes no sense...but until I really moved here, I didn’t realize that I was black. I knew my skin color was black, but to be called a black and to realize that some people didn’t think that that was really a good thing, was not really brought to my attention until I was in high school... I was always at odds with my black peers, because I really just didn’t understand what the issue was with white people. Because [in the Bahamas] they were my peers in school and we played, and I was invited to their parties, and we just really don’t think like that."
