double consciousness theory.

to be an American and African,Black,Brown,Negro,Nigger, etc.

more reflection on this has been stimulated by the recent Spike Lee documentary...how America truly views the importance and value of African-Americans' lives in general. If there was ever an example needed of the lack of compassion and interest in our plight and well-being, Katrina is that and so much more. i will write a poem about this reflection soon.
