I made this thread because we needed atcleast 1 positive discussion on here but some people cant even take this serioualy or dont know how to answer tbe question. Then is it safe to assume that some black people don't know what makes them proud to be black or what it means to be black?
How so? I even say in the OP what I was asking and some of the posters responded accordingly. I also pointed out that I wasn't asking based on skin color and your parents.
My bad homie. Well I'm black because I'm intelligent and resilient. I think those are defining traits of blackness
Because a Jamaican man and a Vincentian woman met in a barber shop in Toronto, they got married, and I was born almost exactly a year later (which is today!). My parents never lost touch with their roots either, so growing up, there was a lot of that being around the house. That still goes on, to this day, in fact. My parents'll be in the living room watching these big festival performances where they've got tons of reggae artists performing, and if not that, they'll be watching stuff about the politics down in St. Vincent. My Mom'll always have the radio on Star FM, tuned in. And my Dad'll have cricket on whenever matches are happening.
I also looked forward to holidays not only because of the festivities, but because I knew that curry goat was around the corner. That, along with a plate of rice is still my weakness.
ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy you're half and half too????
It's all good, and those are two good traits black people possess.
What...what is it now?
