What or who is African? Is being African now racially exclusive? Am I not African, because of the color of my skin? I was born there, I grew up there. I know no other home. The land talks to me. My soul finds peace there. I am only truly at home when I stand in front of the mother city and look out over the ocean. But I am white, so I am told that I am European. I don’t know Europe. I have no family there. I don’t even know anyone who lives in Europe. Yet I am European due to the color of my skin!? Will Smith comes to South Africa and says that he is home. The man grew up in the States, but is more African than someone who has lived their entire life there, just because I am not black?? So the distinction is based on the color of your skin? Isn’t that EXACTLLY what we worked so hard to get rid of: RASISM???? I look and I see people, not skin colors, religions or differences, but variety. GOD BLESS AFRICA!
