Things have changed since Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" speech. Most places are becoming more diverse with religion, races, ethnicity, etc. Although there still is a fear of change or something different that some people may still have, we are all still EQUAL. Woah big word huh? we started reading about a former enslaved poet taught to read and write by her master, and she wrote "for in every human breast God has implanted a principle, which we call ~ it is impatient of oppression, and pants for deliverance; and by the leave of our modern Egyptians I will assert, that the same principle lives in us." Even though it barely applies to us now, the poem was still a strong message saying blacks were EQUAL, to whites.
Whitney Young (the school i attend) is one of the most diverse schools in Chicago, but i still feel like there's literally ZERO racial tensions within it. Some of the guys i hang out with, are Hispanic. Do i care that i'm black and they're Hispanic, no not at all, they're some of the funniest coolest people i know. We do come from different cultures and backgrounds, but we don't diss them, we ACCEPT them.
Wanna hear something funny? From the time i was born until 6th grade, i never saw the color black nor white, nor tan figuratively speaking. It just did not matter to me because if they were nice to me, and funny why not get to know them better. I still say i'm not prejudice to anyone, there's no reason to be, can you say the same? what if someone judged you by your race when you walked into a court room huh? how do YOU like those apples?
