Im home after a great weekend in Boston with my roomie. I am not a fan of vacation; I just never really saw the need to do it. I live on the go and that has been my mantra for the longest time. I am planning on more time away for myself. While it was a time of reflection and relaxation, I was immediately aware that my walk in life has taken me further and further away from where I want to be ethnically. I was hanging with an awesome group of people and I pray they dont feel maligned by this Blog.
Im not sure if Im the last to know this about myself or if Im making a mountain out of a mole hill, but I have kinda white washed my life and gravitated a more European existence. The bars I frequent are in Chelsea, my dress more Abercrombie then Akademiks, my lovers more Chad and Brad then Juan and Rakim. I dont know when it began but it has become more the norm than an exception. Many of my most cherished moments are drawn directly from my experiences as a lil negro child. This weekend I made the comment that I was not a huge fan of the Fourth due the racism that was written in the Constitution. This wasnt an actual complaint, more a general comment. I noticed it was lost on my friends and I stuck a cord with me. Im still processing the weekend and want to make sure my response is concise and relevant. But anyone who can give me feedback on this please hit me up. This is a delicate conversation; I would prefer to have one on one.
Love and kisses.
