Dinnertime

At the heart of the racist lies that innate feeling of superiority (whether overt or undercover)…the power, the symbols of beauty, of intelligence…can we change them, deep-seated through years of social conditioning?

Perhaps not.

We can’t change a man’s heart if he doesn’t want to change…but we can change ourselves and our children, to never accept a label of inferior…to have a true sense of pride in who we are…to celebrate our beauty, our intelligence…to crack through walls of power and build our own dynasties…the very idea of a second class citizen will never compute because who dare…who dare…You may seek to label us inferior but we will NEVER accept. Pull me up a seat at the table because…I have come to dine.
