He wrote me back, and claimed, among other things, to be a doctor, and from England. The perfect pedigree for me, right? So I replied, and expressed an interest in seeing him doing a singing, dancing chimney sweep impression. It could only be improved upon, I added, if he did it in blackface. Typical Lina banter.
Our repartee continued for a few emails, when we decided to exchange pictures. He sent me his, and I immediately realized the gaff I had made.
He was black.
His email said, "This is a picture of me and my friend. I'm the one in blackface."
Oops.
But unable to stop myself, I wrote back that something seemed off about his blackface routine. Something just wasn't right.
"Oh," he wrote back. "I couldn't find any white lipstick that day."
Perfect. Absolutely perfect.
See the problem with this guy may very well be that he is actually kidding about wearing lipstick.

bad username | April 1, 2006 10:29 AM | Reply- "what do you call a black guy flying a plane" "i don't know, what?" "a pilot, you idiot."
and if they say something other than "i don't know, what?" you can respond with "a pilot, you motherfucking racist."
You're an idiot.
