What does it mean to be black, not only in America but around the world? (Even a person of color)To be black is to be tired, anxious, ambitious. But also to be an extremist, rational, radical and irrational; to struggle from generation to generation, to be unequally disproportionate ! You may disagree w/ me but it is truth, that you can not argue. To be colorblind, disillusioned by reality, to feed into the illusions of society is to be childish and naive in comparison. I am an American citizen but i am not american; nor am i proud to be an American. There is nothing proud about america, unless of course, you pride yourself, your wealth and your great fortune off the misfortune of others. I am of a people who built this country, yet still reps none of the wealth benefits or opportunities allotted. Instead we are dehumanized, exploited, silenced made an example of through propaganda. There is nothing proud about a country that stills a culture away from its homeland by force in aims to work for it. Take this message how you will, but in your best interest it would be wise to remove the shades in-which, you hide behind. As the old American saying goes "On doit se réveiller et sentir les roses"...WAKE UP AND SMELL THE ROSES!
