Based on a response that I had given very recently I was told that I did not sound black. Because my view was different.  I was basically accused of not understanding the depth of racism and how it is shown towards blacks. I was told that I was naive. This troubled my heart  , My mind is asking "Why is it I can only voice my opinion when I vote with the minority? More importantly why does my integrity have to be questioned?'  I see the world through different eyes. I see the world as beautiful, but with ugly people in it. These people dwell on a past that has come to pass. Why do we continue to add fuel to a fire that simply needs to be put out.

Does racism exist? Of course it does, However I feel people should not have to justify their actions to prove that they are not racist. It's seems that it has gotten to the point that a person almost can't have a bad day, because if you are rude to the wrong person you will be labeled a racist.

If using my brain and not assumptions filled with hate makes me less black then so be it.

I refuse to walk around with a chip on my shoulder, If I cross paths with a racist person so be it, I love them anyway. God will take care it.

I am not defined by my skin color but by the heart that I love from.

You don't "sound" black??? I didn't know color made noise.
