I
just left the movie theater. I saw the movie Fruitvale Station. The
movie overwhelmed me. I feel full of the motions. It has me questioning
my values, how I value myself, and how the world really see me. It's
hard being a black man and It always has. Always undervalued, criticized
and racially profiled. A lot of times, but not limited too, by my own
people and even in my own home. Always having
to be better to be fully accepted and constantly in a power struggle in
order to be respected. How do I deal with it, by saying over and over
again God loves me, I'm equal to and no less than any other man. I say
to myself, it may be harder for me but as a result I will come out
better and wiser. But guess what it just don't make it easier and It
just doesn't feel good inside. Willie Lynch said it "Take a man's value
and you will take his life." I'll say it again it's not easy being a
black man. Sometimes I just want to go home and lay my head in my mom's
lap and cry. It's okay to cry sometimes. And crying don't mean I will
surrender because I won't,
