Hey fellas,

I don't know if I'm just having one of those days or what, but try this ... {Disclaimer: Yeah, I know ... I'm one sick hombre}

1) Find a post by nehisi

2) Put it on your screen

3) Look at the Avatar ... it's a woman right?

4) Take a piece of paper [or open a reply window]

5) Position the paper [or reply window] so that it runs half-way through the last line of the signature line, i.e., "grandchildren, And their great-grandchildren will tell."

6) Report back what you see.

I don't see anything in particular. I don't think I understand what you want done in this instance. Where exactly in the last sentence am I to position the paper?

LOL...

I think he's referring to the *ahem* "extra particle" the images seems to have...

...which I originally interpreted as a child in the womb or at least an ancestor being "reborn."

Am I correct or no?

I always noticed it. I thought it was part of what the piece was trying to 'speak'.

"You know that in our country there were even matriarchal societies where women were the most important element. On the Bijagos islands they had queens. They were not queens because they were the daughters of kings. They had queens succeeding queens. The religious leaders were women too..."
