There is so much negativity and criminal suspicion associated with
being a black male in Toronto. Yet, I don't have a criminal record, and I
certainly don't associate with criminals. In fact, I abhor violence,
and I resent being compared to young black males (or young people of any
race) who are lazy, not disciplined, or delinquent. Usually, when black
male youth are discussed in Toronto, it is about something going wrong.
Honestly,
who would want to be black? Who would want people to be terrified of
you and not want to sit next to you on public transportation?
Who
would want to have this dark skin, broad nose, large thick lips, and
wake up in the morning being despised by the rest of the world?
A
lot of the time I feel like my skin color is like my personal prison,
something that I have no control over, for I am judged just because of
the way I look. READ
