I, Too, Sing America Lifestyle…

I, too, sing America.

I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.

Tomorrow,
I’ll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody’ll dare
Say to me,
“Eat in the kitchen,”
Then.

Besides,
They’ll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed–

I, too, am America.

-Langston Hughes

Sneaker Fiends Unite District chapter president JaiSlayer sends us some pics from his upcoming Independence Day aka Juneteenth outfit architecture and it reminds me why I also rock hard with the freedom lifestyle.

I, too, sing America.

    Very nice speech by (Dr.) John Carlos (cropped outside that photo of Tommie Smith) if you’ve not seen it before–

    I want those shorts. Eating at the kitchen or the table matters not to me as long as I eat. Survive, grow, learn and you could have people bringing the food to you. Whenever you want it
