Elaston R. Washington, My View

I live in a world where things and concepts are changed every day. What I have difficulty with is the fact that we are a product of our own discrimination. We’ve set the tone and others put the lid on it. We keep ourselves down, through education, crime, and even language. What we fail to realize is that we have our own beauty, which we need to enhance. Let people know we’re just as smart as you, we just have a language of our own. Let the white man (and/or others) know that I’m not African American, but Black and that I’m standing in the crayon box right next to you. Let’s band together to support the cause.... Cause we belong here. Let’s keep other minorities involved— Asians, Africans, Filipinos, Russians— hell, I’ll go even further than that: gays, bisexuals, lesbians, drag queens, transgenders. We all make the world go ‘round and even you won’t stop us. So let’s stand for something so we don’t fall for anything. Change with the change.
