[Love_Spell_6]

I am only 24 years old, and I have faced the "not black enough" stigma as well. It seems that many of my peers feel that if you speak proper English, don't wear logo heavy clothes, want to do outside activities such as white water rafting, rock climbing, etc., you have somehow forgotten your heritage. It is so sad that some folks just want to lock you in a box, and suggest that doing anything outside of that is unacceptable. Sometimes the people who make these statements are the ones themselves who are locked into a box! They fail to venture outside of their familiar surroundings to see something different.
