It often amazes me when I see black or Hispanic individuals speaking out against those they represent. I know that we all do not think alike, however, don't we have the same concerns? The stories of the "house Negro" and the "white acting Latino" are abound. Yet, I cannot understand why some from "minority" groups speak so negatively about those that look like them. What do those individuals gain from their disdain? Could it be frustration that others are not doing as well as them? Is it for monetary gain? Do they truly think that they are better than those that look like them? I would be remiss if I did not say say that some of what they are saying is true. However, instead of speaking disparagingly about someone, why not try to help them out...or are they above that.

today everyone has a problem accepting who they truly are. we have been blinded with material aspects that we tend to ask who we are at the end of the day.if not face with the truth then as a whole we would never know and it would be that way until we step up.(7593)
