alicia keys represents the african american community. she speaks for everyone. parker, youre smarter than that. it seems to me the white american community loves to talk about other race.
i know that she doesnt represent shit, but she is trying too.
i dont know about the white american community, but its not a past time of mine to sit around and talk about other races. i have some insight into the American Indians, as my ancestor was an indian fighter with daniel boone, and they were both adopted into the shawnee tribe.
through learning about my family, i have gained more insight into the oppression of the indians than anything else.
thats why i used that as a reference...
BUT, its not just alicia keys.
unfortunately, the people they look up to are helping to stereotype and maintain an image they constantly complain about.
