WHAT(something I just thought of)

by Babysixnineone Brown on Monday, February 7, 2011 at 1:50pm

WHAT is BLACK:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is it

an absence

is it a darkness

an evil

that no one who

has entered it can

be released...

Can it be related to

doom, or to dying

since it is only assumed

that things fade to BLACK

but I thought those said

that a WHITE light was seen

Is there Blackness

without Light

or is it considered

hoplessness..to be destroyed

by brilliant vibrant light..

Then what AM I

am I truly BLACK

and he TRULY WHITE

to be ascribed as a COLOR

not a race...

It is impossible to ascribe me race

since I am a product of

a multi-cultural genome

so why is it that I am comfortable

calling myself BLACK....

Well for me it is like the "X" that

Malcom took, he knew not who

he was so decided to continue

to not know, but to work on

becoming who HE was

A MAN

So I accept my state

of Blackness not as

an individual who has no choice

but the choice

to let it stand as a

reminder that

I

KNOW not WHO I am

but I create that which is to become and

has arrived

A WOMAN

One of substance, integrity,

faithfulness, justice, and most

of all most powerful of all

LOVE

Excellent insighftul write....fantastic points made and yes the race issue, as well all other types of labels people tend to ascribe are pointless really....for me good and bad character is the only thing applicable as far as I'm concerned!!
