    This was beautiful. I'm neither black nor white, but I did my BA in American cultural studies, especially race relations. What I came I across is really saddening. Racial thinking seems to be so deeply entrenched in US mindset, which is most obvious in the comments section.
    Sadly, so many of you black people don't know how beautiful you are and what a strong legacy you have.

      you have some problems. that's honestly a racist and disgusting thing to say. if you're going to come here and come and expect to be able to peel away at the pride of our black brothers and sisters, you're dead wrong. racism is a disease to me, you should go to a doctor. it seems like you have a bad case of it.
