said "let's comb each others hair".

She combed mine and then I combed hers.

I said "your hair feels different than mine".

She said 'that's because I'm black".

I distinctly remember realizing at that moment some people had different skin colors.

We learn to see those differences and (right or wrong) are taught what they mean or don't mean.
