“But as a kid, I preferred the black side, and often wished that Mommy had sent me to black schools like my friends. Instead I was stuck at that white school, P.S. 138, with white classmates who were convinced I could dance like James Brown. They constantly badgered me to do the 鈥淛ames Brown鈥� for them, a squiggling of the feet made famous by the 鈥淕odfather of Soul鈥� himself, who back in the sixties was bigger than life. I tried to explain to them that I couldn鈥檛 dance. I have always been one of the worst dancers that God has ever put upon this earth.”
― James McBride, The Color of Water

You and Gumball . . . are from the same family, the Methanesons!鈥� 鈥淚t turns out thus, sir,鈥� Darwin confirmed its family belonging. 鈥淎nd you鈥檙e like Larry. You鈥檙e Larry.
