If You Had A Choice Of Colors

Our Black and our White communities seem to come in two different packages. As Black people we seem to be artistic and our African heritage seem to be more mind oriented. We’ve used our mindful skills as many learned their jobs. Apprenticeship or student work came first. We also have many needlework, drawing, music and writing skills. In our slavery and inequality we seemed to use our minds more because intellectual education was not an opportunity. Our neighbors, the White population were given recognition for the intellectual part of our communities. Also they were recognized as being the financial bucket in this Country. America seemed to be theirs as if they bought it with money. I often tell myself: “democrats give it to you. Republicans take it from you. I feel like the Black community has many leadership skills. Many of our Black leaders have helped put this U.S.A. together. We have just learned how to take a back seat. Even though in today’s world we tend to speak up. Are the bias we have against each other based on dislike or just the differences in heritage
