I... am not... "black". I mean, that's what the world calls me, but... it's not ME. I didn't come outta my mother's womb sayin', "Hey everybody, I'm... 'black'. " No, I was taught to be black, and you were taught to call me that along with whatever you call yourself. It's just a... label. See, from birth the world force feeds us these... labels, and eventually we all swallow them. We digest, accept the labels... never ever doubting them. But there's one problem... labels are not you, and labels are not me. Labels are just... labels. But who we truly are, is not skin... deep. See, when I drive my car, no one would ever confuse the car for... me. Well when I drive my body, why do you confuse me for... my... body? It's "my body"... get it? Not me. Let me break it down, see our bodies are just cars that we operate and drive around. The dealership we call society decided to label mine the... "black edition", yours the "Irish" or "white" edition, and with no money down, 0% APR and no test drive, we were forced to own these cars for the rest of our lives. Forgive me, but I fail to see the logic or pride in defining myself or judging another by the cars we drive. Because who we truly are, is found inside. Listen, I'm not here to tell you how science has concluded that genetically we're all mixed and race in the human species doesn't exist or how every historian knows that race was invented in the 15th century to divide people from each other, and it has worked perfectly. No! I'm not here to lecture, I just wanna ask one question. Who would you be if the world never gave you a... label? Never gave you a... box to check? Would you be white? black? mexican? asian? native american? middle eastern? indian? No, we would be one. We would be together. No longer living in the error of calling people "black people" or "white people". These labels that will forever blind us from seeing a person for who they are, but instead seeing through the judgemental, prejudicial, artificial filters of who we think they are. And when you let an artificial label define YOURSELF... then my friend, you have chosen smallness over greatness and minimized your self. Confined and divided your... self from others. And it is an undeniable fact that where there is division there will be conflict and conflict starts wars. Therefore, every war has started over labels. It's always "US" versus "THEM". So the answer to war, racism, sexism, and every other "ism" is so simple that ever politician has missed it. It's the labels. We must rip them off. Isn't it funny how no baby is born racist, yet every baby cries when they hear the cries of another no matter their gender, culture, or color... proving that deep down, we were meant to connect and care for each other. That is our mission, and that is not my opinion. That is the truth in a world that has sold us fiction. Please listen, labels only distort our vision, which is why half of those watching this will dismiss it or feel resistance and conflicted but... just remember... so did the caterpillar... before it broke through it's shell and became the magnificent butterfly. Well these labels are our shells, and we must do the same thing so we can finally spread our wings. Human beings were not meant to be slapped with labels like groceries at supermarkets. DNA can not be regulated by the FDA. We were meant to be free, and only until we remove them all and stop living and thinking so small will we be free to see ourselves and each other for who we... truly... are. Prince Ea
