Important Note on that Piece

After reading the edited version, I want to make sure something wasn’t misrepresented–not everyone I went to school with growing up was black. More white folks than black, actually, but there were lots of black folks. When I mentioned the folks that were happy for me, I wanted to make sure to specify those were black people. But I can see how someone would read that and think that I went to school with nothing but black people, and that’s not true. I didn’t lie to you, but that was ambiguously phrased. For that, I apologize.
And lots of white people would be happy for me, too. Just wanted to make sure that was clear.
