This is an interesting question.
I think that being black in America--heck in the world--means that you are going to face some obstacles that you would not otherwise face. Just like women, by virtue of gender, have to face obstacles a man would not. I think to not acknowlegde this fact is naive and a little silly.
But life, in general, is hard. And I don't let the knowledge of those battles that loom before me distract or defeat me. So I would conclude that no, I am not tragic in my blackness.
