i am so proud to have recieved a NAACP award by my black community...
because at one point in time I wasn't even considered "black enough"...
yes...
i am a black man...
i was raised in a all mexican neighborhood...
i attended great schools in a white areas...
so...growing up i was looked at as odd...
black people didn't think i was "black enough"
white people thought i was different than other blacks...
and mexicans thought i was dominican...
life was colorful...
if it wasn't for that diversity I never would have known what life truly had to offer...
people fought for me to attend brentwood sci mag, paul revere middle school, and palisades high...
people fought for my freedoms...
freedoms i didnt acknowledge when i was younger...
i went to school with persians, koreans, native americans, french, nigerians, and indians...
another translation would be:
brown, yellow, red, white, black, and blue people...
brave people fought for that...
magnet schools...
equal education...
it was all fought for...
and i reaped the benifits from it...
the invisible freedom fighters fought...
the visible fighters fought as well...
in the 100 years of the existence of the NAACP and fighting for equality they are now victorious...
because a black man is in the white house...
built by slaves now ran by a black president...
the battle was won...
and now i ask this question...
what does the "C.P " mean in the NAACP now.?.
todays deffinition is...
and mexicans thought
