say there’s a light at the end of the tunnel,

right now I am walking around in the dark.

Before
moving on, I leave an obvious mark.

After leaving the convenience store,
It was later made evident that Trayvon was shortchanged.
One-hundred-forty-pound kid versus a 250-pound heavyweight?
Sounds like some sick handicap fight had been arranged.
Black face versus white face;
A baggy hoodie versus fitted apparel;
Skittles versus bullets;
AriZona Iced Tea versus a barrel.

Christ freed me from sin.

'Can I touch it?' The fascination with natural, African-American hair
I cannot begin to describe how many times random people have asked could they touch my hair. Unless it's a really close friend, it really irks me and makes me feel uncomfortable like I am some sort of specimen. Everyone has hair; I have never asked to touch anyone's hair before...I also have had people who did not ask--which Kay Richhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06044068342441891790noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-499476620908038360.post-82156070355836405982011-07-03T00:27:00.001-04:002011-07-03T00:28:41.021-04:00An awesome Praise & Worship album!!I bought the album Introducing the City Harmonic, The City Harmonic's freshman album, after I first heard this song Manifesto on a local christian radio station.

But with my back leaning, I remember God asks us to dig deep

We went over this artwork today in class, and it reminded me of We Wear the Mask by Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872-1906)
WE wear the mask that grins and lies,
It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,—
This debt we pay to human guile;
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,
