Somebody said that you are what you live. Just what does that mean? If you live in a pig sty your are a pig? If you live in a German community, you are a German? If you live in the wilderness, you are wild? If you live in the ghetto, you are poor???
If the place you reside is labeled as negative, and you accept the name given to it by somebody who doesn't live there, you are perpetuating your own negativity. As certain groups view various situations, their evaluation becomes the norm. If you embrace it you contribute to your own demise. You aid in your own negativity...

There was a time in the American African community when young people were not allowed to leave home when their appearence was unkept. To do so was a reflection on the parent and a lack of home training....
Today, those attitudes and behaviors are considered acting "White". Being clean-cut, and your clother look like they were bought for you is acting white? ...you sure are giving them too much credit. What are you saying about yourself....
How far have we come since 1863? Are we really free as the 13th amendment said or are we still on the plantation?
There are three conponents to this minority designation:
1 A ll of the identified minorities and non white...
2 All of these minorities are manupilated using cultural chracteristics...
3 The use of racism pits them against each other...
The common denomanator is the majority status, the ability to convence the rest of the world that they are right because God said so....
