I understand your pe...Thank you for your comment. <br /><br />I understand your perspective. <br /><br />However, I did not capitalize the word "black" to identify a color of people. I used it in the fashion sense, as being trendy. <br /><br />(ie. Green - being earth friendly - is often called the new black)<br /><br />Using a completely binary white-black interpretation, I see that Islam the 'new black' and that many diverse groups are coming together as 'white' regardless of their skin colors and religions.Taminoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8705419293148379593.post-71359802978678100932009-08-01T07:27:45.313-05:002009-08-01T07:27:45.313-05:00What confuses me is how any "other" grou...What confuses me is how any "other" group that begins to feel marginalized relates it to being "black".<br /><br />While there may be similarities and empathy, there will never, ever be any group that will come close to knowing how it feels to be "Black". <br /><br />If you are not Black, you have not had the experience of "Living while Black". This experience permeates every area in life, employment, housing, credit, driving and sometimes just walking down the street, too name a few. <br /><br />I agree that it seems the experiences "other" groups have are more tied to religion and lifestyle choice. But not because they just happened to born "Black" (an automatic dismissal by other racial groups of somehow being less than human and of less worth).<br /><br />While I can certainly relate to the validity of the complaint I doubt any other group in America of different ethnic and religious background can ever compare to being Black.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
