born to look white black heart refused love forces traveled determined to enter white world. imitate identity white surface black soul lonely man takes children to wake from sleep refused love forces traveled, determined to enter bleached world where color hurts black moms nurture white young that run away determined to enter white celebrity world forces turn around it must feel odd to disregard ones own kind.. for a spotlight moment.

I've not seen the movie, but I swear I've heard my daughter talk about it. The title sounds familiar. I would imagine that many would not admit that this piece rings true in many cases. That is unfortunate isn't it? Thanks for sharing. Take care, Liz...Carpe Diem |
