There was a Martin Luther King observance today, held in one of Saddam's old palaces. I stood in the crowd, amidst a swarm of White people, while another White person uncomfortably spoke about the Civil Rights movement. The whole thing made me feel uneasy. I love being Black, I'm proud to be a young Black man and I'm proud of those who have fought courageously for equality. But there's something about Black History Month and this forced recognition of the Black figures of history that doesn't sit right with me.
Am I buggin'? |
