I am often asked what I am...I am not Spanish. Spanish is just - TopicsExpress



          

I am often asked what I am...I am not Spanish. Spanish is just another language I speak. I am not a Hispanic. My ancestors are not descendants of Spain, but descendants of Africa. I define my existence by race and land...Being Latino is not a cultural identity but rather a political one...Why do I have to consistently explain this to those who are so-called conscious? Is it because they have a problem with their identity? Why is it so bad to assert who I am.... Listen people: Being Black is not just skin color, nor is it synonymous with Black Americans. To assert who I am is the most liberating and revolutionary thing I can ever do...So I have come to this conclusion: I am whatever I say I am! (Thank you, Rakim.)
