Thank you, Steve, for nailing it every time.

I agree with you that depending on your skin color, the standards are different.

If you are an Afro-descendant, there are many labels waiting for you: Black, Nez Gros, Uncle Tom, and the list goes on.

Each time someone labels me, they are trying to reduce me to the level of a commodity, a less-than-human being.

I am like a product on Amazon. Just hit the buy button, and I am replaced.

What can I do?

I am not Black. I am human.

I am not a Nez Gros. I am human.

I am not Uncle Tom. I am a human.

As a human, I am imperfect.

As a human, I am incomplete.

As a human, I am liable.

We all are. Black or White.

We all are humans, after all.

We all are one humanity.

Just let me be. I am already doing the same.

Thank you again, Steve. 💯🙏🏾🙌🏾🤎
