To him, being black in America means that you bear the
burden of every American citizen – black, white, asian, hispanic,
straight, gay, male, female, and all others. He feels that the
treatment of black people in America serves as the barometer
for the treatment of every other person in this country. Black
people built America centuries ago and still fight for the freedoms
that many other Americans enjoy with little to no struggle.
