Why do I have these stupid looking teeth? Only weird Africans have a gap between their front teeth. It makes me look like a walking joke every time I open my mouth. Why is my hair so kinky? Nobody looks like me, and nobody wants to be my friend. This is the story of a loner who endured incessant psychological and physical battering about his race and appearance. “You have no friends. You’re not cool. You’re ugly! Shut Up!"
