Hurt in Black America (671 hits)

African Americans have been so mis educated and we haven't realized the power that we've had to function in spite of what we have been thru. We have lost our identity and tend to look to others for answers to the questions of our identity. We must understand the beauty in who we are. Those who know who we are as a people feel the need to ask others for permission to be us instead of living unapologitically as a unique people. How do we solve our problem of identity as it is a cancer in our community?

well being te person that I am, I usually dont literally ask for permission, and neither do I feel it is a literal question others ask. What I mean by that statement, is in certain settings or offices, we walk in with a mask and then wait for others to embrace who we are as African Americans before we feel its ok to be who we are without an apology from the start. This happens all the time, especially for those of us who work in predominately white settings.
