(brown) i live and go to school with all black people. so i mean i know of other things. but i see them from a different angle. thanks for your input. yea. im beginning to think i am too sheltered. i should go out into the “world” and see how it really is. it is hard to be color bling in my world. i mean really its not as if color is what my world revolves around, but my world is only filled with one color: black.

Why? i have never figured it out. but it also made talking about old Richard Pryor albums as hard as discussing that seinfeld thing at the water cooler if you get me. If we keep living in this color world we tend to miss things that other cultures have out there for us to enjoy... now if i put it out there as a title Israeli Negro using Baldwin's works in discriptian of Falashi Jews from ethiopia would the race card be thrown at me? I think yes,,, and you didn't offend me. i'm too thick skinned for that.

I'm asking for input...am I wrong? I know it seems racist to a certain extent, if there is another way of life that works I would like to experience it. I'm not racist at all, but thanks for your comment. Also, sorry if I offended you. And the title of this blog and the american negro blog were straight out of a book I was reading. The book also directly inspired both blogs. Have you read "the fire next time" by james baldwin? Not at all sir. I’m asking for input…am I wrong?

I am from Queens College in CUNY and far from HU. But hey, at least I get to imagine:). I would really like to see how Shakespeare himself would feel if he saw the "modernized" Hamlet staged by African-American cast. Even though I haven't gotten the chance to see them, my good wishes to them all the same. :). Reading your reaction and praises about the cast of HU makes me want to watch them, but I can’t.
