Divide and Conquer.

They put us on Islands and labeled us, So we would think we are different. We could be family for all we know. Just because I'm a so called "Trinidadian"; this doesn't mean I forgot where I came from. I have ancestors from Africa, whom I never met. From Africa they were scattered to islands such as Jamaica, Trinidad, Barbados, and many other islands.Thats where I get my brown skin hue from.My full hair and brown eyes. I was born in the U.S. Does this make me American? What is an "American"? People from all nationalities make up America. We all assimilate in America to create an environment that prides itself on being diverse. Labels, its all about labels. Your low class, middle class, high class. No matter what class the majority of us are lost. We take pride in superficial, materialistic things. "My hair, nails, car and clothes must look fabulous, meanwhile I have no sense of self". These labels help create sterotypes and division among the black community. Meanwhile DNA proves that we are approximately identical up to 99%. That one percent difference is our outer appearance. So before you seperate yourself from others, take some knowledge in.
