And you try to tell the kids today that we had to do this and they don’t believe you.
I’m black and older than the Obamas. I walked to grade school and took a city bus to high school.
I have never heard of anyone walking to school with a sweet potato in their pocket. WTH? Is that some kind of country thing? It certainly isn’t a black cultural thing. I’ve met all kinds of people from all over and this is the first I’ve heard of having a freaking sweet potato in your pocket.
It probably took us 15 minutes to walk to school - you don’t need a sweet potato or any other nutrition to make it 15 minutes, or even a half hour if you have breakfast.
What is this woman talking about?
