as if i have the answers
the musings of a twenty-something poets, artist, singer, writer.
It's ridiculous that so many years after the civil rights movement black people (As a whole) are still having a hard time identifying themselves. I got a message for my nation. The color of your skin, is not who you are, its WHAT you are. It seems to me that a large number of the black people I know think that the music they listen to, the way that they dress and speak define how black they are. News flash: Got honey colored skin? Hip-hop will not turn it to a darker shade of chocolate. Got chocolate colored skin? Rock will not change it into the lightest shade of caramel. If you are born black you will die black. then apart from the people who try to define the color of their skin, there are the people who let the color of their skin define them. (Sadly shakes head) Being black does not equal glass ceilings. And please realize that just because your live in a neighborhood that is pre-dominantly black, does not mean you live in the "ghetto". Before we are black, we are men and women and each one of us is different. So switch it up, be unique, and read me please!!!
Living life, modeling, acting, trying to make it
