It's All About Me
I rather liked Kaplan's Black Like I Thought I Was. I've often wondered if we woke up one day and had no racial (or similar) tag to put on ourselves if we would continue to live much the same way we have been living anyway. How many of our personal choices in life are limited by our perceived ancestral origins or perceived family influences? Do we ever use our background as an excuse not to be the marvelous individual we really want to be?
So who would you be if you had no notion of where you came from or who you were "supposed" to be? Thinking about the endless possibilities is great fun!
