    I just finished reading both cover to cover. My long expertise in living on the street decisively calls it a tie.

    Here's my dictionary. Type in a word. You will see no pictures.

    I'm no more white than you are black.

    Let's pick new names and we can leave the dictionary alone. I call shiny.

    I want all to know that I am in NO WAY a shiny supremacist.

    Hmm. Checking. Well, except for a picture of that book they sell. Smaller words might have a drawing or two way down the page. Anyway, the huge words I look up have no drawings or icons, just the ad for the book. Now you guys, you'll see many drawings for kids, with the words you look up.

    Am I Maris? Is that what you're asking?

    How the fuck does white mean morally pure or innocent?

    And black means all those negative things?

    Fuck. That.
