We discussed in class identities and privilege. I chose to write and recite this poem about my racial identity of African American/Black. I believe we are deprived of so many things our ancestors fought for; specifically equality. In this piece, I give a perspective of expressing our anger toward the system, toward each other, and police brutality. There are stereotypes that suggest Black people are aggressive and Black women are angry. I wanted to give a little more insight about what this anger is about and what we are doing to overcome injustice. I mention more of us are actually getting doctorate degrees. In history we were deprived of an education.
