This is a response to Nelson the Venezuelan attorney. Nelson, Nelson, Nelson where do I start? We identify ourselves as African-Americans because that is what we are. We enumerate our accomplishments because historically our accomplishments have been ignored in this country. I am quite sure you are familiar with the concept of ignoring people of color. If you are in the United States, and have cable television have you noticed that there is not one Afro-Latina woman in a permanent position in the news, current events or even in the telenovelas. The last one I recall is Celia Cruz and look at the status she has and more importantly, the role she played on that television program. In closing, I look forward to the time when Martin Luther King’s ‘I Have A Dream’ speech is the reality but in the meantime, I still don’t need a mirror to know my race in this country.
