Dear Chinese People|Part 3 – Yes…I’m American

Dear Chinese People,

I thought we talked about this already. Matter of fact I KNOW we talked about this already.  Remember this ——> Dear Chinese People Part I.

This is when I explained that I was NOT born in Africa, but that my ancestors are from there.

Yesterday, I had to have this conversation with my taxi driver, Bill. Even though we had a conversation about where I’m from in the US and that I am first generation American, Jamaican-American, he still thought I was from South Africa.

I showed him SEVERAL pictures of black people.  Some of the pictures were of some that had the same hue of a Chinese person…guess what, he thought they were WHITE!

So sorry sonneth…

Just to let you all know…black people are EVERYWHERE, not just in Africa.

Be YOU. Be FREE.
