"The truth is everywhere on a daily basis". Well said. Just now we need more willing to see.

This blog should be on the front page.

I truly love this blog. you gave me a lump in my throat. and i agree from ^^^, it needs to go to front page.

As difficult as it might be for me to like and respect you even more? It just happened.

I don't want to speak out loud but if you are curious message me , but I agree.

If you're a critic of black history month you should probably get punched in the face. By me. Forever.

I like what you have to say about this, it's well written and incredibly interesting. I think the message at the end, about not feeling sorry for oneself, rings true for a lot of people. Victim hood is not an appropriate response.

Very well put. I have hopes for more and important changes in the very near future. But without a doubt there's still a lot that needs to be improved. Sometimes I'm saddened by where we are at and other times I feel privileged to know and witness that these changes are taking place in my life time.

True. It's all a painful process of progress. Some of us learn from all of it, but a lot of us won't. Either way, your blog was very well put.

Unfortunately, nothing will change until (white) people stop seeing black culture as inherently inferior.

Brilliantly written blog.

Well said!

Amen

This was such a beautifully and thoughtfully written blog. iI reminds me of so many conversations I've had or just things I've thought about to myself countless times. I am going to school for ethics and philosophy and such issues are things i have to contemplate all the time. Part of me aches and is so disgusted with our world, past and present, but i just need to step back and breathe and realize that we really have made a lot of progress, and a lot of it in a short time. Does it make the injustices or prejudices in the world any less despicable? No. But the fact that humanity has made progress gives me hope that things will continue to get better, and with each generation people will become more open-minded and look back at our generation and those of the past as a bunch of ignorant fools. Even though we will most likely not see such ignorance vanish in our lifetimes we can see the progress and have hope for the future of the human race. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

It's a shame that people don't just see each other as people, and if one has to judge, judge them for their good or evil deeds. Not by their religion or the color of their skin....

I am pretty sure it is time for you to come visit me soon.

Or me to visit you.
