I think we need to visit Africa to appreciate this notion of blackness. The majority of folks there seem to be poor however the majority ironically are happy in their simplicity, unlike many folks in the so named developed world who despite plenty on their table cannot sleep without enhancments, unhappiness in yonder. I guess it is the idea of enjoying your life rather than living your life that counts. The world will always have a good mix of happy and unhappy folks wherever and whomever they may be.
Remember no race will get extinct, so let's learn to live together and die together to that last very day. This way we may open ourselves to lesser stresses about fellow humans.
