Dear Editor,

“You’re not black, you’re white. You

never dress black or act black.” Anyone

who says that,

could you please

do me a solid? Go

and ask any Latino,

black or white. If

they even know

their history.

“A man without

knowledge of their

past is like a tree

with no roots.”-Marcus

Garvey.

It’s what’s in your mind, not what’s

on your body. I was standing outside

of school one day and I realized no

one cares anymore. I can’t even relate

to my own people because my

mind’s somewhere else.

We went from “We shall overcome”,

to “lean wit it, rock

wit it.” Would Huey

Newton and Stokey

Carmichael really

be pleased with our

generation? What

happened? For anyone

who comes on

that you’re not black

tip, really know what

acting your color is

before you speak one word.

Sincerely,

Tyre Carter
