This is a huge issue to me because the only way my race can rise up is to feel GOOD about ourselves and we are continuously told that it makes white uncomfortable or some nonsense. Its time to put on the head wraps and be who we really are AFRICAN PEOPLE and un-apologetically Black.
Being expressly proud of being black somehow compromises the ability of others to be expressly proud of their variety of non-black.
What began as a celebration of Black History Month in Durham by wearing African headwraps, is now a protest over expression.
